To be perfectly honest, I don't find it any more or less horrifying than any other sort of fur. And I actually think it is pretty hypocritical of countries to say that dog and cat fashion fur is illegal, but lynx and fox fur is fine, along with all the other animals used for fur. At the very least, those people who did use strays could argue that they were 'solving' a problem for the cities they were in, and not using the furs of much rarer wild animals. Not saying it in any sort of justification, just trying to look at it a little objectively. I mean, does a golden retriever suffer any more than a marten? Does a mink deserve life any less than a cat?
