I'ts no different to wearing leather or having a leather sofa.
Most of what we as humans do causes an animal of some sort to die. Food, clothes, medical testing. Cleaning and beauty products are nearly always tested on animals. Even the vaccs we give our rabbits were tested on other rabbits.
I will never wear fur or leather but I wouldn't attack someone else for doing so. If she was wearing an endangered animal that would be a different argument.

Just to add before I get jumped on, I don't agree with her wearing it, but like I said there are lot's of things going on in the World that cause animals to suffer and die which the general public don't always realise.
I was going to say this...
BUT...for some reason I'm happy wearing leather, and not fur. (Not sure why!!)
Maybe because we know that leather is just a byproduct if the meat industry, but when people mention fur you instantly think of it as the animal has been killed only for its coat?
What I always think at first anyway
But is all leather a byproduct? I think I will have to try and find out.
I don't know if true or not but I heard that animals killed for fur end up in pet food.
I think it's completely different to wearing leather. The bodies of these poor animals are just discarded and are not used for the meat industry therefore their skin is never a by product, they are only literally killed for their pelts.
We don't eat foxes, dogs, cats, mink, chinchillas - all of which are used in the fur industry and unfortunately the biggest exportation of fur from China is cat fur. If anyone has seen the conditions these poor terrified creatures are kept in - only then to be electrocuted or very often skinned alive, it's not something easily justified.
I'm a vegetarian and don't wear fur or leather/suede etc but I do believe there is a difference in the products. Not all leather is a by product but it mostly is (although I don't like it either).
I think wearing fur is abhorrent.

Completley agree, and im not veggie!
Hardly any of my friends or family are veggie but not a single one would ever wear fur. My sister's view is, "if you don't eat it, you don't wear it". It certainly isn't necessary in this country, it's just a fashion and 'wealthy show' factor.

Yep it disgusting and the way the animals suffer before been skinned is DISGUSTING!
I am more against the Fur Industry (esc Chinesse farms) than anything else!!!!!!!!! :evil:
The way animals are treated for the food industry is often just as horrific as those bred for fur.
