PETA has been praising faux fur for ages. What they don’t address is the simple fact that faux fur still supports real fur by sending the message that fur of any kind is acceptable in the fashion industry.

Likewise, they fail to address the fact that the production of faux fur has a larger negative environmental impact than the production of real fur.

Faux fur, made from acrylic (plastic) fibers, does not rot in a landfill, costs more to produce, and is created using more toxic chemicals than are used in tanning agents required for real fur. More info on the environmental aspect of furs can be found here: http://www.furisgreen.com/furisgreen.aspx

If you wear faux fur but sneer at anyone wearing a genuine mink coat, take a look in the mirror and consider the fact that you fashion choice still supports the industry AND has a larger negative impact on the environment. 

YES. PURFECT.
