Is Fur Back?

Well, this is a new one by me. After decades of the animal rights activists dominating the debate, apparently some people are fighting back and posting arguments for the wearing of fur. Frankly, the argument is wanting. But it is always interesting to hear a new point of view.

Also, fur is a lot friendlier to the environment than its synthetic counterparts. Faux furs require one gallon of petroleum oil for every three jackets manufactured and fake furs do not biodegrade...Why do some people flinch at wearing a fur and think nothing of downing a steak or killing a cockroach? I suppose it's because cockroaches are ugly and furry animals are cute even though some of them, if given a chance, would tear your heart out...I went off to the party in my beautiful fur jacket. Up with fur – down with roaches! There is a big difference in animal welfare and animal rights. I was making a statement.

Somehow I doubt this particular philosophy will be sweeping the streets of america. But then, sometimes philosophy tends to follow instead of lead.
