I’m not a furry, so I don’t really have an opinion on fur in fur suits. I’m guessing using real fur would be difficult since it would normally take more than one body, and then getting the color right would be hard.
I’m pretty sure with cattle, almost all the parts are used. Some probably go to pet food, and I don’t want to think about what might be in the ground meat. Slaughter houses would naturally use everything they can since it’s not profitable to throw things away.
With coyotes around here, they’re rarely killed for their fur. It’s normally predator control and the fur is sometimes sold, if it’s in season and the fur is worth enough to go through the hassle of dealing with the body. That means fur bought from this source is saving the fur from rotting away.
