simply h² : Fur or Faux Fur?

Fur is definitely a topic of interest in the fashion industry. Sure, it looks great, but just as good as faux fur. I'm personally against using real fur on clothing, and so are many celebrities who pose for advertisements and join campaigns. Some popular PETA campaigns are the "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" and "Ink Not Mink." I think it's great that celebrities take a stand for what they believe in. Rachel Zoe even recently came out with her own faux fur line that contains jackets and vests that look just as good as normal fur.

Some people that are passionate about these issues will actually walk around New York City throwing red paint on people who are wearing fur. I think that's a little intense, but overall, fur isn't a neccesity and I don't think it should be used in the fashion industry, what's your opinion?
