all man-made sporran?

[Joe I]

The fur industry is terribly cruel. Many animals are made to suffer for days on end after being trapped while dying a slow agonizing death. Most fur farm animals are anally electrocuted and skinned alive.

Propaganda lives! Show me video.

Please, gentlemen and ladies, lets not spoil an interesting discussion by allowing it to deteriorate into a heated debate about animal rights.

I agree ... I have seen threads where the subject could have easily ended up in heated religious, political, or other debates but I'm not sure we want this place to become a free-for-all debate zone unless the purpose of a thread is for a debate. This thread was specifically asking about non-animal material sporrans though (something which I personally am interested in).


To some people who have some different personal philosophies about Reality (or modern civilization, commerce and industry), the question of non-leather sporrans can be very important and hopefully some useful information will be presented.

I don't even have a sporran but I've recently been pondering whether I can make a nice sporran with some various material. I would like to investigate the material though and see if I think it is environmentally neutral enough.

I am someone who made at least part of my living from the fur trade for more than a decade. It has taken all my resolve and a couple of strong drams to restrain myself. However i agree with Pugasso and Cessna. This is not the place for an animal rights debate. I apologize that i got started down that hot trail early in this thread before i realised my mistake and backtracked.
