Sorry this comment comes a couple years late but I just found your blog and it’s so awesome to see a fashion icon like yourself against fur!! Thanks for voicing your opinion on it! I can’t believe so many people (it seems) in the fashion scene still wear fur even though they know how these animals suffer! But it’s great to know there are people who care too!!
Thanks for your inspiration!
Ainsley

You tell ‘em. Cruelty is NEVER in fashion; and there is no reason for it either, since virtually identical replicas are available.

I only use faux fur, I care a lot about animals, although I’m not vegetarian because I really love meet :/
but I really care about their conditions and at least in what concerns to clothes, etc I refuse to use that kind of things! Even if I was a billionaire I would buy faux!

Lovely blog, I’m following :)

I really enjoy your blog Hanneli, good on you for standing up for yourself.

In other blogs, especially THE big swedish one, the girl wears fur coats all the time, and people are just going “awwww” and “so cute and warm” about it…if you post anything that criticizes, your comment just gets deleted by her.
So thanks again for keeping a blog what it’s supposed to be: a place where people can exchange their opinions!

The animals in traditional husbandry, like cows and sheep are social animals, they live in herds, these are animals one can more easily give proper living conditions on a farm (not that they always get good living conditions). And at-least in Norway these animals roam free in the summer (not always cows, but at-least reindeers, sheep and goats). I feel no problems with eating meat from these animals, but norwegian sheep are not normally used for fur, the sheepskins one can buy in Norway normally comes from Australia and New Zealand, but from what I have understood, sheep in Australia and New Zealand has rather good living conditions as well. Reindeers are used both for their meat and their fur, and they live a good life in the free.

Foxes and minks on the other hand, do not naturally live in herds, they roam alone, and thereby, when farmed, need to be kept in separate cages. And in this way they do not have the chance to develop their natural instincts and behaviour, and therefore they suffer more when farmed.

That said, I used to have a fox hat, it was the warmest, and most practical hat I have ever had. In a country where the temperature sometimes goes down to -25 C (-13 F) it makes sense to wear fox fur, in warmer climates, it is a pure fashion statement, and unnecessary. In colder climates it is the very best material to keep warm and dry.

If only true vegans can be anti-fur, does that mean you can’t be against drink driving if you have ever gotten a parking ticket? Can’t be anti-smoking if you ever had a puff? Kudos to you Hanneli for your measured and articulate reply.
