I enjoy clothing that has animal print on it.
I'm a fan of it too. I especially like it because you can get the animal fashion sense with fake fur instead of actual animal coat like real fur clothing.
I have no problem with real fur just that the whole animal need to be used for something like food, otherwise its wasteful.
That's true, no need wasting valuable resources. I also like animal print because it's a status symbol, kings of past used animal print rugs to show their status.
I read that somewhere because its was mostly exotics animals that weren't in their region.
That would make sense, I believe they were considered popular due to both their price and to given off an exotic sense.
Spices were considered exotic and luxuries once and the Netherlands built an empire from them.
Dutch cuisine
Dutch cuisine () is formed from the cooking traditions and practices of the Netherlands. The country's cuisine is shaped by its location in the fertile North Sea river delta of the European Plain, giving rise to fishing, farming (for crops and domesticated animals), and trading over sea, its former colonial empire and the spice trade.
Traditionally, Dutch cuisine is simple and straightforward, with many vegetables and little meat: breakfast and lunch are typically bread with toppings like cheese, while dinner is ,
as replacements for alpaca hair.
However, its increasing popularity has been credited to its promotion by animal rights and animal welfare organizations which claim that it is an animal-friendly alternative to traditional fur clothing.
Uses.
Fake fur is used for all purposes where otherwise real fur (of animal origin) would be used, but also for stuffed animals, fashion accessory and home decorations like pillows, bedding and throws. It is also sometimes used for craft projects because it can be sewn on a sewing machine.
