Few people under forty own a fur coat now.

Furriers in New York, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal don't sell many new fur coats anymore; their business now specializes in storage, maintaining and preserving expensive old coats.

And yet, the fur bearing animals of the continent are still there - they are not endangered or even threatened. In fact there too dam many beavers. Furs are a renewable resource that we are wasting.

The Native Americans who specialize in trapping the animals (humanely) find the prices so incredibly low, they would rather stay at home. They have lost a way of life because trapping was one of the last bastions of their traditional existence.

And its all because of the ANTI FUR GROUPS who have no idea the damage they have done to Natives and honest trappers the continent - or even to the animals themselves who are overcrowded in diminishing forest habitats and wetland reserves.

MY IDEA?
Well, now that you ask, I think someone should organize a pro FUR group and therein raise funds for a TV CAMPAIGN to educate folks on the merits of wearing fur.

What do you fashionistas think about it?
