Cause they won't get it. Just look at the feral fox problem has on native wild life. Make it fashionable again to wear a fox fur coat, jacket or gloves by putting a value on a feral and save Australian's native wildlife.
the campaign "I'd rather go naked than wear fur", well ask the native wild life and their slogan may be" wear a fox fur and save me from getting ripped to bits"!
The problem with the fur industry is that very little of it comes from feral animal erradication, and nearly all of it comes from fur farms that keep foxes, minks, racoons and other animals in small, inhumane cages where they are treated barbarically.
No humane hunter should condone that sort of treatment. But that's the problem: when you create an industry, you have to sustain it, and then it comes down to economics.
There is nothing wrong with subsitance hunting – which is arguably the most envrionmentally friendly way to source meat – just as there is nothing wrong with wearing humanely sourced fur as a by-product of hunting.
Kangaroo meat, for example, is an excellent source of lean protein devoid of growth hormones and antibiotics, as well as having very little impact on the environment and precious water supplies. Roo meat uses a fraction of the water and other resources that cattle and sheep farming does. We should be eating more of it. And in fact, that's exactly what we do in our house: we've replaced most red meat with kangaroo.
The problem is, it's not as economical to hunt wild meat as it is to farm it. So everything comes down to $.
As for the video, it's almost unwatchable. I can just imagine Ricky Gervais saying: "Fix the stupid, jerky cutaways and I might actually be able to concentrate on what you're saying!"
