GOOD for you !!
That's a really nice way to help animals and not wear real fur.... but you, me & millions of other people had no idea what the fur trade involves so you can't call yourself stupid.
I have a story just like RaeRae a few years back my husband
almost bought me some wicked expensive leopard boots. I couldn't justify the price at the time and the fact that they were real....( I admit that did bother me even then) but now, I could
never wear them ....so turning them down was a good thing.
That's one of the benefits of the net - info is so easlily accessed now - we know many things we didn't back in the days of no computers...
