Why do people hate on my fur coat

I’ve a fur coat that I inherited from my Grandmother. It’s a full length mink coat & I absolutely love it. I even wear it in summer.
As we’ve been having terrible weather I’ve been using it, and for the first time people are hating on me for wearing fur. They throw insults that I’m an animal killer, cruel, support the fur industry- on and on it goes.
I think it’s just jealousy. Others would love to own such a statement piece.
Are they all wrong and I’m right, I have a right to wear what I want, I didn’t kill anything & the coat comes from another era. Actually I’m saving it from landfill.

YABU to wear it in summer.
Ive not worn fur in a long long time but never had a comment. I guess people are led often by emotion and not intelligence. YANBU.

You're right. It's jealousy

They're all jellus hatahs.

I am not in the slightest jealous.
I judge people who buy fur, this would be seen as some as hypocritical as I am not a vegan 🙄
I wouldn't wear fur either, I think it looks awful and it never gets cold enough to need it here, landfill is probably the right place for it
