Thats an odd destinction, the fur is bad, but the skin we scrape the fur off before we use it is okay?

No. It depends on how it's done. There is a humane way of killing an animal. I can't think of any use for wolf hyde or raccoon hyde. We use hyde from cows because we slaughter the cows anyway for food. We don't eat most animals that we would use for fur. You don't kill an animal unless you want to eat it. That animal can provide other needful things but you don't harm any animal unless you first need it for food. Native Americans used animal hyde for clothing to keep them from being harmed by the elements. They used fur for those reasons too. They never wasted any part of any animal out of respect to that animal. Today we slaughter animals for fur because someone wants to pay a lot of money for it as a fashion piece. They take the rest of the animal and just throw it aside. That is what makes the fur trade so wrong. It's fueled by fashion.
