Why would you legitimately want hide today? There is a huge surplus of clothing to choose from.
Why would you hunt for it when we can capture the animals easily today and can kill the animal painlessly.
You have a question why I want a fur if I can wear polyester? Because I like it.
And tell me please about all the methods available for me to get a lion skin.
Why should there be a difference? Fishing with the intent to discard the fish unused would be wrong.
It’s what the noda b’yehuda says. The theory is that we’re talking about a hargasha you should have of not killing animals for fun. If your intent is for fun, that’s what is wrong. If your intent is not for fun, that is ok. It doesn’t matter what you actually do with the animal–it’s about your intent.
