F is for February, Fur and Fashion so let's start this month's roundup with some fur fashion news. We loved this article about why Russian women love fur, and while there is certainly an element of glamour attached to fur coats, the message is overwhelmingly about warmth, something a fake fur will never be able to provide.
As well as being winter, it is also runway show season, and where there are fashion shows, there are furs. If you want a fashion update but aren't looking to buy new, check out our guide on recycling old fur coats, or if you want an option that is super low impact (pardon the pun) then why not look into roadkill furs? Our fur coat of the month was definitely this teen's seal skin parka. It looks great and we love the story behind it.
Humane Watch's Super Bowl ad exposed how the Humane Society spends more on lawyers than on animals.
In other animal rights news, activists are trying to get London Fashion Week to ban fur (unlikely to happen), the video depicting "abuse" on the set of A Dog's Purpose was proven to have been misleading, and we've found this great website exposing Trip Advisor, the travel reviews website, for working with PETA. They are refusing to let people book holiday activities that involve animals. Well, I guess we can all go to another website to plan our holidays, right?
