In a London street if one is wearing real fur they are looked at in disgust. It is the only time anything fake becomes chic and accepted. Someone in a real fur coat must be heartless for allowing the murder of an innocent animal to keep themselves warm. I however do not believe that faux fur is the new fab, but rather real fur should not be looked down upon.
Although real fur is described as the result of ruthless killings, wild rabbits were hunted in order to protect crops, and generally foxes to prevent their growing population. Due to the ban of fox hunting in the Hunting Act in 2004, the number of foxes have increased, but animal lovers is this really a good thing? Forget them doing their business in people's gardens, they have seemingly become dangerous. The last reported incident was the 22nd of June when a fox supposedly followed a cat through a cat flap, climbed the stairs to the attack, and bit a students face. So i pose the question animal lovers, what is wrong with the creation of real fur coats if it is to protect our own?
Another thing I find most contradictory are people who turn their noses up to real fur however own ugg boots. These are made out of real sheepskin and although the animals are not slaughtered, it hurts them to get shaven and there are probably psychological impacts too. Leather as well, which comes from cows; the animal is killed in order for humanity to eat beef and wear leather shoes. All you vegetarians out there, do you also not wear leather shoes as they are poor animals, or is clothing ok?
People should get their priorities straight and then stick to it!
