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.

Thank you for saying that hdh, and please don't feel badly. It's quite understandable that you thought it was fake, and to be honest, even if someone else posted a comp for a fur prize, thinking the fur trade was right, I would hate that, but not sure I would want that person to feel 'attacked' for it. For me, I just wanted to voice a teeny protest again the trade, not against you.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

I just want to say that it's quite reasonable to be against one aspect of something, and not against others. Doesn't need to be all or nothing. I have been against the fur trade for - ahem - more years than I'm prepared to admit here
No I'm not a veggie, though I like to think that I'm sort've an apprentice one. I feel that cruelty for fun or fashion alone is, shall we say, more extreme than the other things you mentioned. But I don't mean to preach, I just wanted to explain that.

Because I don't feel it's appropriate to launch an attack on someone because I don't agree with them. I posted it here because it was dangled in front of me here.I am brave, I am bruised

Forget the fact it's real fur, that monstrosity is ugly as sin. Don't know what I find more offensive, the fact that it's real fur or the fact they've used real fur to make THAT.0
