first of all, using fur out of absolute necessity is a lot different than having some cute little trim for your collar
I live in northern canada sort of and manage quite nicely without fur anything, however there are those for whom this is life and survival. These are not the people to whom this is directed.
and secondly, with the way you describe the real world, is something wrong with trying to make the real world a little bit kinder?
people bent on either end of the spectrum are always irritating and annoying, but it sure would be nice were there to be some middling ground where we could meet and have things a mite less cruel and destructive
