People wear fur clothing because they think it is more fashionable then fake fur and they usually don't care about animals.

People wear fur in cold climates because synthetics do not offer the same warmth and comfort value. There are many places in the US (outside of Alaska) where the temperature falls into the single digits and the windchill into the negative. Fur is simply a smart choice in these areas and the decision for people to wear fur in these areas have little to do with fashion. If properly cared for a fur garment can last several lifetimes (which is why these coats are often passed down from generation to generation) making it a more environmentally and financially sound purchase decision. Synthetics are derived from petroleum (bad for our environment) and while it's true that chemicals are also used in creating a fur coat, their lasting power prevents people from having to repurchase an environmentally harmful product every couple of years. Fur Coats are not Dry Cleaned with chemicals but instead cleaned through abrasion (generally saw dust), so their is no ongoing damage to the environment through the regular maintenance of a lifetime piece. From an ethical standpoint, some people prefer to wear a coat that has sacrificed an animal rather then one that has sacrificed human lives (American Soldiers who continue to work to secure petroleum for our 'fashion' desires) and also because long term, it is less damaging to the environment then synthetics. Call it the lesser of two evils, but their are a number of sound reasons for the wearing of Fur.

people shouldn't wear fur because it's basically killing animals just for fashion! Being a fashion lover myself I can understand why people want to wear it. I used to wear fur until I found out how they got the fur. In school we were doing about fur and we were discussingwhether it should be worn or not. None of us could agree if it should be worn or not, half the class thought it was OK and the other half didn't (I was in the OK half of the class. So the teacher showed us a video showing us why it should be worn. it basically said it was to look nice and stuff like that. Then we watched a video about why it shouldn't be worn. The person who filmed this did it with secret footage they had managed to collected. It was horrible! You saw people snapping the animals necks and stabbing a baby rabbit with a really sharp knife! The killed a cow by breaking its legs and then cutting its thought open while it was alive! There was this wolf that had had its fur on all of its legs ripped off, just left with the bone left for it to walk on, And it was still alive! The whole class then Went against wearing fur. I was crying because i never thought that anyone could be that mean. my friends were crying too. As soon as I got home i threw away all my fur And leather And I'm glad I did. I hope anyone who reads this changes their mind about wearing fur.

and it is very very very bad because you are killing animals to be made from fur which is cruel

Yes. When explorers from Europe went into South America, they found chinchillas and made coats out of them. They were in high demand and chinchillas almost became extinct. Chinchilla fur is still used to make clothing, but it isn't as popular as it once was.
