Personally, I think wearing fur is ridiculous unless you are a people who hunts it, eats it and wears it due to extremely cold climates-think those indiginous to the most northern of countries. Other than that instance, I think wearing fur is most often a product of narcissism, insecurity and pretentiousness. Like a way to advertise that you can afford that ghastly garment. Who cares. You look like you are obviously trying too hard, IMO. Make a sandwich board and wear that. At least it won't unnecessarily kill an animal to assuage your ego.
I do realize that in some colder climates the culture towards fur is different. A lot of people see it as a solution to a problem (very cold weather) instead of a gaudy attempt at displaying "wealth". Still, I think there are plenty of other alternatives available to keep one warm now.
Someone in my extended family has a closet full of furs. Short, full-length, this fur, that fur. It nauseates me. She tried to give me one as a gift once. I appreciate the gesture of gift giving, but oh God no. I kindly declined. If she had brought that coat over to my house and left it, I would have went outside, dug a hole and given it the proper burial it deserved. I would not have even felt a twinge of compunction about shoveling dirt onto a $15,000 coat.
Nope, not a member of PETA. Just love animals and hate furs.
