After all, red is more Christian’s color than Christmas’!

However, the fur industry is ready to fight back and associations are vehemently promoting their products as a naturally sustainable choice, more responsible than alternative furs. As if that was the main problem… of course furs are eco-sustainable: isn’t it because they are made with parts of the ecosystem – animals, to be precise?!
