Fake fur
Wearing fur has been demonized by animal rights activists, but sometimes the substitute can be just as bad. Most fake fur is made of synthetic fibers constructed from blends of acrylic and modacrylic polymers derived from coal, air, water, petroleum and limestone. Like most plastics, fake fur also doesn't biodegrade easily. Besides, there are a lot of other ways to look posh and stay warm.

Synthetic fibers just as bad as fur ? So a petroleum based, non biodegradable fiber is as bad as raising animals in horrific condition for their fur and then kill them brutally? Don't think you can compare apples with pears.This was a very stupid article.
