Twiggy Calls Designers Who Use Real Fur 'Intolerably Cruel'
Some people aren't so thrilled with fur making a comeback
hermes bracelet, including Twiggy, who has called designers' actions "intolerably cruel

She said, "I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable," and pointed to a new report from Animal Defenders International (ADI) that details "horrific conditions" at fur farms.
But these aren't the nutria used for furs. Fur coat nutria are raised in tiny cages on so-called farms. They live miserable lives and suffer unimaginably. Nutria in Louisiana wetlands are there because of a few that escaped the farms when they were introduced from South America in the 1930s. Those runaways bred and live on grasses that hold back soil erosion

Trappers used to get $4 a pelt but the price went down to $1 a pelt, so not so many trappers any more. If people didn't make them into coats, Louisiana would never have had nutria to deal with.
Yes, they are exactly the nutria pelts used in present-day furs.
The animals were imported from South America in the 1880s. They were a popular fur in the 1930s (Garbo had one)

They were farmed through the 1970s

I know of no nutria farms in Louisiana at present.
Nutria pelts in use now are mostly wild caught and professionally tanned.
The current bounty on nutria tails only, paid by the state of LA, is $5

A coat made out of pelts might serve the wearer for 40 years.
How many 'fashionable' faux fur coats might one buy and discard in a landfill in that same amount of time?
To those criticizing Twiggy, she's a strict vegetarian and doesn't wear or eat animal "products".
To those advocating fur vs fake fur, a farmed mink excretes 44 pounds of feces in its short and miserable existence, feces which carry traces of the antibiotics and vaccines it is routinely given. Waste from these farms pollutes our waters. Tanning and processing the pelts adds a sea of chemicals

In addition, from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) website, this information:
Fur farm pollution is further compounded when all aspects of farmed-fur production are considered: Fur processing requires transporting feed to animals; removing animals' waste; providing electricity for housing facilities, the slaughter process, and other operations

When all these processes are taken into account, a fur garment takes more than 15 times more energy to produce than a faux-fur garment.
Economic historians and anthropologists have studied the fur trade's important role in early North American economies
