    This is a terrible article. First of all your points contradict each other. How can producing fur be environmentally friendly when you clearly state a con that it produces pollution? Then you go on stating as pros, that buying animal fur is a statement that is bought by the rich to show wealth. I don’t see how that can be a pro when animals are brutally slaughtered and tortured to produce these article of clothing. There is also misinformation in this article stating that animals are a renewable source because they are bred “naturally”. Maybe if you took proper time into looking into this issue you can see that these poor animals are bred on breeding farms with horrible conditions. I don’t see anything natural about that. This article should be either taken down or be reworded to be more accurate.
