Maybe I need to go buy all the fake fur throws I can get my hands on.....they are FAKE....never came from an animal of any kind, the closest animal these fake fur throws has enjoyed, has been my babies curling up in them, all around my lap and on my legs. I just had a horrible thought....I have REAL LEATHER furniture!!! OMG!!! I guess I am going to have to figure out where I can hide my leather furniture when the gestapo shows up.....
I do need to add that I agree with banning the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores.....and I will not shop in stores that have "pets" on display.... |
The reason I mention fur coats is because animals are being skinned alive so people can wear them as a fashion accessory. As for fake furs, unless you know what to look for, fake furs are dogs,cats and other furry creatures skinned alive. I was speaking to the "faux furs" that people think are fake but in actuality are really just skinned dogs, cats and rabbits or other small animals.
I love all animals and not just domestic animals. Bringing intentional harm to an animal because some people want to look good is unacceptable. With so many synthetic fibers out there, there is no reason to wear clothing made from animals.
So yes, I am for banning real fur and "faux furs".
