Fur coats are horrible! Why not just buy a fake fur coat, its way cheaper. It would take alot of little animals, say chinchillas, to make stupid fur coat for some spoiled person!

wow. all of you losers who are all for wearing fur coats really need to think. do you need a fur coat to stay warm? no, there are better and warmer options. you dont need to have 50 chincillas killed to be able to cover your body. It takes a lot for fat people to wear a coat and thats a lot of animal's lives lost for no good reason. Back in the stone age, people wore fur because they didnt have alternative options. we do have alternative options. its not even that good looking. who thinks a fuzzy dead thing on your back is attractive? its just social status thing. when someone skins you alive and puts you through that torture, then you'll have the right to wear fur coats but until then you have no right.

How can it possibly be immoral to wear fur? Man has worn it for a million years or so and now suddenly its wrong? What rubbish. The result of urban people alienated from nature. The ironic thing is that it is THEY who have caused the real damage to nature by using resources wastefully and supporting synthetics which are made from petro chemicals which destroy nature from extraction to transport to manufacture to disposal.

The idea that fur was immoral was the brainchild of PETA...and their credibility after this should be ruined:

So those of you who still think fur is wrong maybe should heed the words of conservationsists who now point out that fur trade as a human economic activity actually PROTECTS animal habitats.

The Canadian Fur Council is headed by Paula Lishman the designer whose husband Bill Lishman is a famous conservationist and friend to animals. They have prepared this which should make you antis wake up:

Since an animal cares not if it is killed for meat or fur there is no possible distinction so only vegans have any ethical case against fur. And a completely Vegan society would require massive increase in intensive agriculture (the kind that has eradicated 60% of british songbirds) and petroleum producton and exploitation of non renewable rsources. In the long run this is worse for animals....just look at the wholesale destruction of rainforst for soya production in Argentina...it has exterminated the Jaguar.

So wake up and realise that fur is the future....and while we use animals we protect them like the proverbial shepherd. And just like the shepherd, we must also ensure good animal welfare....which unlike battery farmed chickens is practised on fur farms. You cannot produce high quality fur without looking after the animals very well. Also remember that often (eg rabbit nuria beaver) the meat from fur bearers is eaten by humans and in the case of mink and fox eaten by pets). A fifth of furs are producd by native peoples who use everything, often fur is all they have to trade, and their way of life protects nature far better than urban westerners lifestyle does.

so stop boyctting fur and instead boycott PETA and the evil of animal rights ideology which is rooted in Nazism

Trappers use painful steel-jaw leg hold traps to catch wild animals so that they can be turned into clothing. Dogs, cats birds and other animals often get caught in the traps and many actually chew off their leg to get free!
