I wouldnt even like wearing faux fur. I think it looks like Hey, dead animal is attractive!, fake or not. But I have never even heard of those stores.

That is amazing they have gotten away with that, needs to be some retribution for such a scandal.

Re: Faux fur, ask the rabbit how faux it is

However, it is interesting how perception has shifted. A few years ago, a few companies were in the news for pawning off fake fur as real.

Somehow, effecting public perception to that degree seems like a much greater victory than petsmart switching to 2 inch larger cages while still selling deathtrap balls and wheels for chinchillas and guinea pigs.

Yeah, it is kind of reassuring to think that they have to lie and say fur is fake, not real. That shows that more people are against it than with it. I mean it is horrible to lie, but you know what I mean!

I would never shop at Burberry, they still proudly sell the real stuff, and even if I'm not buying fur I won't support somewhere that sells it. The other shops can't be that great as I've never heard of them !
