I bought a fur coats because I saw someone wearing it and it was so beautiful coat so I became wants to buy for myself. After I bought fur coats, I heard about how animals are treated and killed in fur farm, I felt sad and guilty. On the other hand, someone told me that they love fur coats and those fur coats are amazingly beautiful and keep me warm. On the other hand, someone told me to be careful because peta will attack me by wearing it and others say I shouldn't feel guilty at all and I should wear in cold winter. I'm so confused of what I should do with my expensive fur coats. Sould I donate the fur coat? or should I wear without feeling guilty? or I should sell it? or I should keep them but not wearing?

it all comes down to what you want. personally, i don't agree with the way the animals are treated, but i love how soft the fur is. if you spent a lot on the coats, i would keep it. they are so expensive to just throw away. if you bought it with your own money, wear it especially proud. those are hard to get moneywise. if you can't stand the thought of wearing the fur, you could donate it or sell it either one. look at it this way. you didn't kill the animals yourself. and if some nut runs up to you telling you how wrong it is, buy a stun gun. lol i agree everyone needs their opinion, but don't let them force it on you.

Don't be afraid to wear the fur you bought with your own money. But, now that you are more aware of their origins, be sure to know where the things you buy come from. If you like fur so much, why not buy vintage or secondhand furs? New furs are so much more expensive, and new animals have to be killed for them.



The companies that made the vintage furs are most likely out of business by now, so I have no qualms buying vintage fur. Wear your proudly but when people accuse you of being evil or ask where they can buy their own, tell them you feel bad for buying the fur new and they can get vintage fur from secondhand stores.
