When was the last time you saw someone wearing fur?

Winter of 2022, half of Europe. PETA can frolic naked in the snow if they want.

What? Anyway the point is that fur was at one point, not that long ago, quite common and fashionable, and now most people have never even seen a fur coat. This could be simply fashion (we dress a lot less formally now in general) but IMO you can also trace it pretty directly to PETA throwing paint on people wearing them. Why buy an expensive fur if somebody is just going to ruin it with paint or, worse, you just look like an asshole wearing it?

Why buy an expensive tablet made of nasty coltan if a brat is just going to jump over it?, oh wait... in fact they don't do it.

This hypocrites bully grandmas "in the name of ecology" while using all the time products made of materials that destroy the African rainforests, and never think twice about it.

And in their totalitarian utopia we all wear plastic replacements. Of course plastic fur is super-ecological. Have you heard of particles of "micro-leather" or "micro-fox-hair" contaminating the environment?. Me neither.

They are directly responsible of the death of animals and plants. To start the ruined products that would last a life have to be replaced at a faster pace, so more small carnivores must die for the paint. They liberate chimps in the zoos with the results that the chimps must be shoot and killed. They blocked fixing the American grey squirrel invasion in Italy, so now the squirrels are killing trees and the red squirrels are dying from viruses. Great job lads!. They liberate alien carnivores that kill millions of birds. They are always an obstacle for a sensible ecological management and always take the wrong side in terms of nature conservation.

But of course the rest of people are not moral enough and not saint enough. Not like them.
