What the F*&^ is wrong with the majority of people on this thread? Wearing fur is a LOT different than just eating meat…. most shoes, purses, etc, come from cows that are being slaughtered for meat. Fur coats come from an industry that has no other purpose but to raise animals to be cruelly treated and inhumanely killed. It is beyond me how people can put on even an inherited coat and be ok with it. You are sending a message to the world that you think this inhumane industry is ok. Its not! Stop kidding yourself. I encourage anyone who is going to buy a fur coat to actually be willing to watch a video that shows what these creatures have to go through in order for you to feel fashionable. If you can still sleep at night and wear one than you have a lot more to worry about than simply what fashion choices you need to make. If you are living in a freezing part of the world and only have access to animal fur to keep warm and survive, I get it. But please… anyone who lives here can make much better choices. I honestly wish people would educate themselves and recognize that each of us has the opportunity to make compassionate choices without denying ourselves things that we need in life.
