To ask what’s wrong with fur

Compared to leather? Why is one socially acceptable and one not. Is it all to do with animal cruelty? in which case why is there not a drive to raise standards, like in the meat industry, rather than boycott the product? I’m not trying to be inflammatory just genuinely curious!

No , "they" dont think of animals like "we" do.

There is no difference really is there. People are only upset because they consider fluffy animals cuter than farm ones. That's it.

I think everyone has their level of how far they are willing to go for animal welfare. And every little helps, but don't preach to me about how you are so ethical and despise people who wear fur , when your going to walk to the shop in your unethical leather shoes to buy your unethical meat, drink unethical milk eat your vegan cookies/ meals that have Palm oil in.
Everyone has the right to live their lives to their standards. But don't get on your high horses when your just picking which ethical bits you want to push

Ubertasha2 Anyone who wears fur or supports the fur industry in any way is quite frankly, a cunt, in my book. Wtf is wrong with fake fur???

Loads, actually. Take a look at the environmental damage it does with all its chemicals. Shocking stuff.
