  • This is just so wrong in oh so many ways. I can't believe nowadays that REAL fur is even still used. People need to get educated.

    I actually thought it couldn't be real because it was cheap and just assumed pretty much all fur was fake now. Very sorry if I got this wrong. Do hope someone gets an answer. :(

    I thought because they were such bright colours, they had to be fake (hopefully) Hope someone can find out for us!

    I really hope everyone who is up in arms about fur, does not wear Leather and are vegetarians, because there is also horrific cruelty in the meat and leather industry. However, it has become very trendy to be up in arms about fur, whilst wearing dead cows, who are not used for beef, but born to die, on our feet and backs.
    just my humble opinion x You may argue Cows are not endangered, but neither are foxes.

    ps ,I am not a veggie just used to work with a veggie organisation that opened my eyes x

    Real furs are often dyed bright colours.

    Yeah, I expect most people would assume it was fake (esp since it was that colour).

    Yes, I am. Don't wear silk or wool either.

    But I think fur is where a lot of meat eater draw their line in the sand. They won't wear the hide unless they eat the animal.
