Wanna be Eco-friendly this winter? WEAR FUR! The FCC or Fur Council of Canada is marketing this masochistic 'fashion' as this winter's hottest eco-trend. There campaign is in full force to convince people that fur is the oldest and most popular form of environmentalist fashion (link).
I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. This is the strangest marketing strategy I've ever seen. Check out these adds below to really be tripped out. I cant believe they used a picture of a guy roasting something that looks like a head in an ad for environmentalism.
My favorite quote from the furisgreen.com website is this :
"fur also makes sense if we want to protect nature."WTF! This is a perfect example of saying the opposite of what is actually true and hoping people believe it. Their website should have said:
"Research shows that most animals prefer to be anally electrocuted and skinned alive
rather than live out a full and happy life in the wild."
To quote a devote student of the fur trade Adolf Hitler, "in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility."
Please get informed about this issue of "green washing" the fur industry. Don't believe the lies.

Do you think that fur is 'green'?

I notice that you don't refute the environmental impact of the fur industry, but just cite it's unethical nature.
Your argument is incomplete and misleading.
