Fur is less environmentally friendly than even the fake stuff, partly because you have to treat it with so many chemicals to keep it from rotting and falling right off your back, as it would in nature. It's also not so environmentally friendly to raise tons of tons of animals for fur. (You know how the United Nations says that raising animals for food is the number one cause of global warming? Yeah, same sort of thing.) They did a study at U of Michigan that shows that it takes something like 20 times more energy to create a real fur garment than a fake one: http://liberationbc.org/issues/fur#environment I can see why you would think that initially, but unfortunately it isn’t true.

Sure, PETA sucks. That's why you can support Compassion Over Killing or Farm Sanctuary or Vegan Outreach or Mercy for Animals or any of the other millions of small grassroots groups around the world.

Fake fur is made of petroleum based materials that don't degrade, damage the environment and lead to global warming which kills far more animals that a fur farm. Why not focus on humane methods of culling instead of attacking people with paintballs? What’s wrong with wearing fur?
