    This is horrifying, I didnt realize these animals are actually farmed and not trapped / hunted.

    • Materials and fabrics have some such a long way there is no need for fur in terms of density of warm material (winter coats) or for softness.
    • There are other uses for fur like makeup and shaving brushes, where fur is the best but for almost all users, plastic brushes will do a perfect job.

    I would be really excited to see a day where even leather is replaced by a superior alternative, and I’m very curious about waxed canvas, and any other waterproofing that doesnt involve PTFE chemicals.
