I really can’t believe that in one day, I make two fur posts. Mostly because it’s hard for me to fathom that people are still looking to fur coats as status symbols — I remember my grandmother’s mink coat, kept upstairs in her closet, and the coat was horrifying to me. Because of those memories of my grandmother and her fur, I always associate fur coats with old people.
It’s striking to me that younger people are helping fur make a “comeback” despite the fact that it’s relatively easy to access information pertaining to the cruelty of the industry. Younger people spend a lot of time on the Internet, and a person can learn about fur farming by reading articles, finding photos, and watching videos of how animals are exploited for clothing. So what is going on here — are people ignoring the information available, or do they see it…

Unfortunately, fur wearing is on the rise. It is not at all uncommon to see men and women (not just old ones either) parading around in dead animals. Fashion runways are also bringing back, with Ralph Lauren ads rife with dead animals.
How sad, and sick!
That pile of skinless bodies has to be one of the definitions of Hell, doesn’t it? In this day and age, fur-wearers are just insensitive and selfish. No aware person could use a product where there is so much suffering to another living thing.
More willful ignorance. If there’s a Hell and I doubt there is, I hope they hold a special reservation for P Diddy and all the other assholes who wear fur.
Amen
