Year old rescued prepared his body is expensive made attracted animals. And as far as the not needing fur argument goes, I agree that people who live near the equator do not need fur coats. But anyone who lives somewhere that drops to freezing needs a coat. Even if it just above freezing, I still need fur when I am standing the dog park for hour, or waiting for the bus.

Nor can we argue against those that profit from using and treating animals as nothing more than commodities, instead of the Sentient beings they really are.
