Watch Out for Designer "Faux" Fur

[Alex]

I don't see any conflict with animal prints. Someone wearing tiger print Buttafuoco pants doesn't look like you killed the tiger to make loose fitting cotton pants.

I also see a difference between "inspired by" and "imitating the slaughter of."

But then I'm, within certain limits of method, I'm all in favor of "the actual slaughter of" whether it be for clothing or food. I just don't understood why someone opposed to the production of fur for clothing would then want to put on clothing essentially indistinguishable for the moral abyss they despise. It isn't like the synthetic fibers have to look like realistic fur to provide the warming properties people presumably want.

But if you get a coat made out of raccoon dog, demand that the monstrous shape-changing testicles still be attached.
