Good point about trim being more “acceptable” than a full-length fur. It’s the same – or even more so – with fishing lures. No one bats an eyelid if your lure uses real caribou fur. Does anyone use fake fur for fishing???

I’m getting so tired of the aggressive methods by P. E.T.A. Imposing their hate and criminal activities on normal everyday people in public.. for that I started wearing real fur more often because I stand behind sustainability and I just love fur.

Wishing the Netherlands is following the progressive side asap in the way how open minded Canada is about wearing fur for men and woman.

Totally agree that petroleum based synthetics is ruining the world! At least the animals are treated well in mink/foxfarms, don’t let me start about all the waste of fast fashion industries what the ‘not wearing fur people’ wear all day- everyday… and microplastics ending op in the ocean and eventually ending up in our dishes causing diseases.

CANADA keep up the good work

You would only see something wrong with it if you yourself were the victim. Also great excuse, the old “Well so and so people are committing mass theriocide, so I should too”. Or maybe both sides could just not hurt any at all.

Natural material will always be much more eco-friendly than synthetics. You are completely wrong. Milions of animals are kept in cages and killed for meat and leather, too. Is it unethical? I do not think. Fur is the same. You cannot judge what is necessary or not. How many warm coats would you allow pro person? Just one? Zero? Or infinite number if they were all made of synthetics? I have more than one coats with natural fur, too, and can’t see anything bad about it. It is much better than synthetics, for me and even for our planet.

Thank you for the reply. There are commercially available eco-friendly fur garments. Not much, but a little bit more every year. Not only those who like animal fur recognise that petrochemical-based synthetics are not eco-friendly. A lot of people care about animal welfare AND sustainability at the same time. Seems like most people don’t know about toxic chemicals used in mass-production plants to process the animal pelts to prevent them from rotting. There is nothing sustainable in mass-production fur garments.

We already have too much clothes, why to throw them away and make new ones when whe can use/repurpose/recycle what we already have. I’ve seen people selling repurposed/resewn fur garments, there’s also plenty of pre-owned fur boutiques.

And there is nothing ethical about keeping animals in cages for the luxury goods, which are not necessary, and sometimes bought by those who already have wardrobes full of warm coats.

In answer to your first question, we believe this page explains the ethical arguments in favour of fur: https://www.truthaboutfur.com/ethics-of-fur/

As for “eco-friendly faux fur”, it simply doesn’t exist yet, at least not commercially. The day will come when fake fur can be made in a sustainable manner from renewable, biodegradable, organic material, but that still seems to be years off. In the meantime, people are increasingly recognising that petrochemical-based synthetics – like those used in fake fur – are the antithesis of “eco-friendly”.

Also, seems no one heard about the eco-friendly faux fur option.
