No, I would not own fur. No, it doesn't make my stomach feel nice imagining the brutal ends by which fur coats are created. And no, I can't tell the difference between real and fake. Plus these days, according to some pretty solid research, a lot of the 'fake' fur coming out of China has been made from the pelts of street dogs via their meat trade. It's cheaper for them to use that source than create synthetics.
I avoid anything but the fur my pets naturally deposit on my existing clothes.

That was when they had to survive and they would kill an animal and use every single part of it and waste none. We now use it for luxury. So basically, we are now mass murdering innocent animals, ripping off their skin and wearing them around. Not because we need them to survive, but because we think it looks nice.AprilBaby said:No way I'm giving up my leather coat, shoes and purses. And my fake fur is the warmest thing I own. The first clothes man ever wore were animal skins. ( that is after the leaves)
