Fur Coats - Yes or no?

Imo; As long as the animals fur isn't the fur of an animal which is becoming rare, I'm not fussed.

The thing is why would you ever want to wear a fur coat/any other think of fur... Yes, a small trim of fur around the hood is fine (they're usually fake fur anyway unless you get the expensive ones) but a full on fur coat? No thankyou. Doesn't look nice at all. Almost tacky imo!

it seems that fur coats are a symbol of wealth. so those who wear them (regardless of how horrible they look) do so to portray themselves in a more affluent way.

I believe it's called an opinion, that's probably why

I second that!

gotta have ya furs

I think Kim looks good in hers and Kanye too but the pink one is trashy. Anyway that wasn't the question, I think everyone's got their own taste and if they want to go for it. Regardless of people buying them they'll always be making fur coats anyway.

The look isn't really the issue here. You seem some relatively nice-look ones and a lot of totally hideous ones. The issue is clearly animal wellfare. Why would a person wear and animal when faux fur coats can look nice if not better.

But then again, I suppose the same could be said about why eat meat when there is meat substitute :/ But we eat animals all the time without hesitation, so...

Real furs, I say no.

personally i would not wear a fut coat. if i wanted one i would get a USED one rather than a new one which feeds directly into the manufacture of them. not really a fan of the fur industry. but at the same time i'm not here to criticise those who wanna wear it. i eat meat so i think i'd be a hypocrite if i said NO 2 FUR.

I don't see the big deal at all. I have coats with real fur... people are just so used to not having 'cold' winters in the UK, so they don't see the point in having them, yet if you go to countries abroad with really cold winters i.e Russia, if you don't wear fur coats and hats you'll a) get looked at like a complete idiot and b) get ill extremely quickly.
