Why do people hate on my fur coat

[CleanCityBird]

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.

And how do people tell the difference between old fur, and fresh fur?

During the pandemic 17 million farmed mink were slaughtered in Denmark, so farming fur is not a thing of the past.
Most of the pelts would IIRC have been destined for China.

If you wear it in summer, they probably hate it because it stinks.
