Fur Is Green

I know that many people, some of which belong to PETA, will be quite upset when they hear that I love fur. I’m sorry if you think that I’m cruel and tourtering small animals. I’m sorry you feel that way. But, I think it’s luxurous, classic, classy, and WARM. I have always loved fur. I think it goes back to my roots. My Grandmothers both wore fur. And my mother also wore an incredible black mink.

Lucky me, I inherited these fabulous coats. I can not tell you how much I enjoy them. I know that someone will be offended when they hear this but, oh well, you can’t make everyone happy.

I was thrilled to see this web site from the Canadian Fur Council. FUR IS GREEN! So true. Fur is natural, won’t hurt the environment and can be recycled (yes, you can have your great Aunt Trudy’s fur refurbished to look more like you).

Here are some fun facts about fur.

First of all, the fur trading industry has been around for 400 years!

Most fur is farmed. And, actually, the fur is treated quite well (until death, that is). Fur farmers are interested in breeding healthy animals. The healthier the animal, the better the fur.

There are more than 6,000 fur farms in Europe.

Some celebrities who show off their fur include: Nicole Richie and Kimora Lee Simmons. So, get your Grandma’s fur out of those moth balls and strut down the street in your fur!
