CMV: Being outraged about people wearing fur whilst eating meat most days of the week is hypocritical.

In the same way that you could argue that wearing fur is unnecessary now because of the wealth of alternatives that are available, it could be argued that eating meat is also unnecessary because there are so many alternatives out there and we don't ***need*** to eat meat to comfortably survive. From an ethical point of view, we kill animals for their meat which we then buy to consume (mostly) in one meal.  A burger can be eaten once, but a fur coat can be worn over and over again. How can the outrage against fur be justified when as a society, we (for the most part) kill animals so we can have the instant gratification of eating something that we think tastes nice? Would killing an animal for a coat not have more purpose than killing an animal so the end-consumer can have a few pieces of chicken in their curry? Furthermore, how do we morally justify killing an animal for one purpose and not another? If you're not OK with animal fur being used in clothing, why are you OK with eating meat with your meals or using animals to make gummy bears?

So let’s hypothetically say we have 3 animals that are killed. One is killed for sport, it’s head chopped off for a trophy and the rest left to rot. One is killed for meat and feeds a family for several weeks. The third is killed and used for meat, its bones are used for other things - say ground up to fertilize crop, and its skin is used as fur or hide. 

Do you see all of these as equal, simply because they all start with killing an animal, or are there meaningful differences depending on what the intended use is?
