      It seems to me that in a case like this, averting cruelty would be the bigger thing. What kind of environmental impact can the fake fur industry have when contrasted with the environmental impact of, for example, the entire fossil fuel for generating electricity system? Because I’m guessing it’s a tiny drop in a giant bucket and we can be more concerned with averting unnecessary cruelty here.

        The real fur industry isn’t great for the environment in its current state either.
