Before I post I just want to say I'm against fur, so this is MY opinion. I'm don't want to start any arguments w/ people who do wear fur, so please don't take offense.
Today for my class, we went on a field trip to a fur coat store and learned about how the coats are made, etc. I'm totally against it, but it was for school so I had to go. Turns out my teacher is against fur too, but it's a textiles coarse so I guess it was good to learn. Anyways, I had to LAUGH when the guy was asked about the animal rights activists. He said that what "those people" do not know, is that coyotes kill children! I'm thinking to myself, those aren't the coyotes their making coats out of! Their making coats out of coyotes that were bred to become coats..and what about the chinchilla's and other animals? Oh and one animal (I forgot which) he justified it by saying that their really mean and kill their own babies..so that makes it right to wear that animal? The worst was that they make coats out of baby lambs! Can you believe that? Poor babies
SO pretty much he had all these great excuses, but he even gave us a hand, kinda like persuading why fur is O.K. I just think it's a joke that you have to give someone a letter of persuasion to get them to purchase your product. What do you guys think? I attached it.

And the worst part of the trip? Well before I even walked in my legs went numb because looking at the coats from the outside made me feel disgusted, but he was showing us a fur cuff, and I happened to be standing in the front and he put it on my wrist...I wanted to yell "GET IT OFF ME!" but I stayed decent because of respect for my teacher.
