This is horrifying, I didnt realize these animals are actually farmed and not trapped / hunted.
Materials and fabrics have some such a long way there is no need for fur in terms of density of warm material (winter coats) or for softness.
There are other uses for fur like makeup and shaving brushes, where fur is the best but for almost all users, plastic brushes will do a perfect job.
I would be really excited to see a day where even leather is replaced by a superior alternative, and I’m very curious about waxed canvas, and any other waterproofing that doesnt involve PTFE chemicals.
