Fur is DEAD! Don't wear fur!
I agree that new fur is not a good thing, but there are plenty of faux fur items in stores right now. If you choose to wear real fur, I recommend going vintage. A 40+ year old rabbit fur stole need not go to waste. I personally do not like or wear new fur but with a vintage item, I feel as if I'm honoring the animal that sacrificed its life more by wearing the piece than destroying it or having it lay dormant in a closet. The act of recycling changes my thoughts on the idea; if not, I only agree with hunting for survival and use of the hide in the making of garments or tools.
