(36,926 posts)Not the specific result of torture for vanity. And at least in theory the animals are killed humanely. Not the case with fur.

(36,926 posts)I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe preserving the fur or something similarly disgusting. Wearing fur is becoming as taboo as smoking cigarettes in public. Fortunately!
I am a vegan, but I absolutely see a difference between eating meat and wearing fur.
