Q: Coats with a fur collar are quite popular in China. Would you wear one here?

If so, would you also wear it in your home country?

I've got a Sheepskin coat, with a wool collar, no problem wearing it. However I wouldn't wear an animal fur from a non domesticated animal.

paulmartin:

Because we have as humans subjected some animals,which were all wild,to a life of slavery,does it make us more humane too just wear their types of fur as clothing

Hugh.G.Rection:

Thing is, those enslaved animals, (how about that for an incredibly over egged attempt at emotionalising the comment), would not exist in their current form were it not for their being domesticated.

I have no problem eating meat, (indeed I won't have any meal unless there is some meat involved), and I have no problem with killing animals in order to ensure humans survive.  I just don't agree with killing wild animals purely for their fur/ skin / random bits (e.g. paws, fins etc), now, if you are going to kill a wild animal, and eat it, then use it's fur that too is fine by me, so long as the wild animal is not endangered, as we have to husband the resources the planet has to offer as there is no realistic chance of the majority of us leaving this planet under the current laws of physics as we understand them.

Fur is heavy, I like light weight coats. If fur is worn for warmth, the fur should be facing inside, like eskimos wear. The fur hold the heat in.

Scandinavian:

Fur is great for warmth, but its possible to get synthetic materials that provide better warmth

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
