No, wearing fur is wrong

This position holds that wearing fur is wrong. It argues that fur is an affront to animal rights — the industry massacres animals for clothing — and that a complete boycott of fur is the only effective way to bring that industry to an end.

  1. The fur industry massacres animals
    Over a billion animals are killed each year for the fur industry, and the moral depravity in participating in such a wide-reaching and cruel corporate structure is immense.
  2. A fur boycott is the only way to stop the industry
    No matter how small a contribution to the fur industry buying fur is, mass boycott is the only way it will stop.
