Fur is natural unlike faux fur right ?
Fur might be considered to be a natural product if you ignore the long processing chain needed to produce a fur coat. From carbon intensive factory farming to energy intensive pelting plants to the final dressing process, the whole industry is far from natural.
The factory farming stage is perhaps the most unnatural part of the process involving battery cages and instances of animal cruelty. Animals are removed from their natural habitat or bred in captivity – a situation far removed from any sort of natural habitat. They are removed from their own natural traits rooted in their DNA.
After the farming process, pelts are tanned, preserved and dyed with petrochemiclas manufactured by the petrochemical industry. Huge amounts of these products are bought every year by the fur industry to preserve millions of furs.
