For myself, i have often worn a sealskin dress sporran, knowing full well where it comes from. I personally dont have a problem with the issue. If it was an endangerd species then yes i would have second thoughts. As to the extremists, and i have one in my work area, nothing you can say will change their outlook, so i dont waste my time trying, we agree to disagree. Nature in the wild is a tough place and 'cute' just doesn't cut it.
