For years now there has been a struggle between certain fashion designers who choose to continue to use animal fur and those who are opposed to the ill-treatment and slaughtering of animals. Regardless of all the protest, petitions and actual attacks with paint on those who indulge in this irresponsible act of wearing animal fur, designers continue to create pieces featuring animal fur. Designers reasoning for the continued use of fur is that their isn't any faux fur that is as comfortable and warm as animal fur. However Aimee Cho, a former writer for Vogue, has come up with something called the "responsible fur" initiative in which she recycles and reuses fur that has been hand selected from vintage shops and flea markets. I think that this is a good start and should be adapted by more designers. It will definitely reduce the rate at which animals such as: fox, mink, rabbit, etc.
When you look at it like this fur doesn't seem so bad.
