Fur Loving Facebook Groups.

“Real Women Wear Fur” and “Fur is Worn by Beautiful People & Ugly Animals -Their titles are a clear swipe at anti-fur groups/individuals and a look on their pages show a clear mocking of anyone who dares to speak against their fashion choice.


Here is a sample of their posts

Real Women Wear Fur


Real Women Wear Fur Or better yet, stay locked up in a mental institution until she's cure of animal rights activism disorder.


Fur is Worn by Beautiful People & Ugly Animals

Yesterday at 16:59























Apparently its people like me with the issue for refusing to believe its ok for an animal to die in this day and age for the likes of them and Kim K to have a new vest.  You people do not live in an ice age, since you have Facebook – you are not nomads living off your wits and the land in the middle of nowhere shunning modern times, because your coat is expensive or from a clubbed seal, it does not mean you’re not playing a part in keeping the Chinese fur farms open – your pages promote fur that the average person cannot afford – they will buy cheap copies, and it doesn’t change that animals should not die for fashion, fashion is pointless  – a life should be worth more than vanity.

P.S. There is also Fur is Eco-Fabulous.

They are not quite so hateful on their page but will brand you troll and a cult member if you disagree with them.

They claim fur is green – this is incorrect. Fur is a "natural fibre" when it is on an animal's back, to be used it must treated or “tanned" in order to stop it from biodegrading. This uses caustic chemicals including formaldehyde and chromium. These are serious environmental contaminants. The US Environmental Protection also claims that wastes from fur processing plants "may cause respiratory problems, and are listed as possible carcinogens."

Fur farms also consume a great deal of energy. In fact, a study by Ford Motor Co. researcher Gregory Smith found that production of a factory farmed fur coat required nearly 20 times more energy than the production of a synthetic coat.

The large amount of animal faeces produced at fur farms also pollutes soil, rivers and lakes.
