I don’t know much about furs. How many Chinchillas does it take to make a coat?!?! Fifty? One hundred? Five hundred for a full length coat?

Just think, the Chinchilla you skin might have written the Great American Novel or cured a disease.

MuFFinzslol probably didn’t read that last one since they threw red paint on their monitor in protest.

Ever met a chincilla in person? Mean, nasty, evil-tempered little rats. Not much of a loss, though I will say killing something you’re not going to eat is a bit bad for the karma.
Leather on the other hand makes no end of sense as a garment as well as for use in industrial equipment. If you’re going to eat it use it all.

My chin’s name is Andy. He lived through Katrina with me. He is the most even tempered, funny and loving pet I’ve ever had, but is now very scared of wind. He’s out a lot, but heads right for his cage when the wind starts to howl. He’s trained to go either in his cage or the bathtub. He wakes me up every day, looking for his breakfast, a break from his timothy hay and pellets - he loves spoon size shredded wheat and will start to weave my hair if I don’t wake up fast enough. He flew with me to Washington State after the hurricane and when I picked up his carrier at the airport, all he did was give me a really dirty look, a nip then settled in my lap. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to hurt one of these social and sweet critters.

Chinchillas are beautiful very intelligent creatures. I can’t imagine doing this to any of mine.

I don’t know about you guys, but I personally love my chinchilla coat. I mean, it keeps me warm in winter, and hey, I heard they make a tasty soup.

I’m a fifty year old man and very lonely. When I go home, my pet chinchilla Fluffy squeals with what appears to be delight upon seeing me. Little does it know how lonely I REALLY AM…
