I love animals, so I would never feel comfortable wearing one of their carcasses for decorative purposes.
However, I'd never throw paint on anyone for wearing fur since I've never felt that everyone else should hold the same beliefs as I do. I might fart in their direction, though.

I just can't stomach the idea of wearing a dead animal and I've been that way ever since I was a small child. I feel the same way about leather furniture. I don't want to sit on them.

I have no problems eating them though.

I would love a second-hand fur - yes an animal(s) died for it but it is being recycled. A good fur is the warmest possible coat and feels luxurious.

My only diamond is vintage circa 1920s. (Ie, already in circulation. )
Sounds like the same thing as a vintage, second-hand fur!

I have a fur hat and a fur ruff on my winter coat. Both furs are from Alaska, where people still hunt and trap to live then sell the furs at auction.

Fake fur has no heat saving ability compared to real fur at -40F

No different than owning leather, IMHO!

You aren't wearing a "dead animal".

You have a problem wearing leather shoes, or carrying a leather bag? Same deal.
