Deeply Offended

"I am deeply offended by the notion that the offensive should be illegal."

And who can disagree with this? But illegality isn't the issue, is it? The point isn't whether wearing dog fur should be illegal - it shouldn't. Nor is the main question, in my view, whether great efforts should be undertaken to try to make illegal the unnecessarily painful killing of dogs for fur. Rather, it has more to do with personal behavior. Is it fundamentally moral for me to purhcase these dog-fur lined coats knowing that unnecessary pain was inflicted to obtain the fur? If there are other reasonable alternatives, I say no. If there are no other reasonable alternatives, such purhcases would seem appropriate. In the end, for each of us, morality is an individual endeavor.
