Recycle Dog & Cat Fur...

Why not use what they have when they have passed? it is better than killing the Rabbits and Foxes and like that for coats, but I don't think Rufuz would go along with it right now...LOL

RECYCLE DOG & CAT FUR…


 


I know, I know, this will bring outrage,


but I discovered this on a government page,


they are doing research as we speak,


to use the fur from both dogs & cats,


as once they are gone, dead that is,


what use is it to them & that’s that.


 


hey, I love my dog, but if he will keep me warm,


on a cold winter day after he has passed,


why the hell not recycle all he had that time last,


I AM SURE HE LOVES ME NOW, AND WOULD BE WILLING THEN,


TO GIVE ME WHAT HE CAN, TO BE SKINNED WHEN,


BETTER THAT THAN TO USE THAT OF ANIMAL HAIR & FUR,


THAT ARE RAISED TO BE UNWILLING PARTICIPANTS,


BUT BETTER WATCH OUT WITH MY DOG, AS HE HAS BURRS.


 


JUST THINK, YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIENDS,


YOU KEPT YOUR LOVED ONES MEMORY ALIVE,


BY USING THEIR FUR FOR YOUR HAT, IF A CAT,


IN RUFUZ’ CASE I COULD HAVE A LONG COAT,


OR A NICE WARM BLANKET OR RUG,


JUST GOt TO CATCH HIM BEFORE HE SHEDS,


SO THAT ALL THE HAIR & FUR SO RED,


CAN BE USED IN THIS WONDERFUL ENDEAVOR, WHEN he's DEAD…

Ed,
I used to be a fur seamstress. I helped make a rabbit skin coat in which the owner had the skin of her pet rabbit included shen that rabbit died. It was a beautiful black skin. It was quite striking amongst all the other broken agouties and white New Zealands.

BTW--I liked your poem. I can just about imagine our dog, Rufus, being a rug for my feet. He is a 70 pound Australian Shepherd/Black Lab cross. He just turned one year old in November.
