real fur accessoriesIt’s no secret that there’s a lot of debate surrounding real fur accessories and whether or not people should wear them. This can easily place a lot of fashion enthusiasts at a crossroads. Is it really “worth it” to wear real fur accessories? Is wearing fur really for you, and if so, how can you tell? Truth be told, there are many different factors to consider before you jump into wearing fur, many of which have to do with the ethical dilemmas some people may encounter due to all the bad press surrounding the industry. We want all of our customers to be 100 percent happy with their decision to wear fur. Before you make the leap into wearing fur apparel, consider your feelings about the following issues.

The Use of Animal Remains After Death

Most people don’t give too much thought to the ways animal remains are used once they die; in fact, the vast majority of people are all too happy to dig into a succulent steak or hunt for gorgeous fur accessories in Dallas and San Antonio at the nearest opportunity. However, this issue does sit in the mind of a select few, and if you’re one of these types of people who believes we shouldn’t use animal remains or products in any capacity, wearing real fur accessories may not be the best choice to make. On the other hand, if you aren’t bothered by using and wearing animal remains, fur apparel may be an appealing option, especially if you appreciate the aesthetic.

How Animals Are Treated During the Harvesting Process

One of the most contentious issues regarding the creation of fur apparel is the actual fur farming industry. The general consensus is that animals are treated inhumanely within the industry, despite the vast amount of evidence to the contrary. Think about your own feelings and opinions regarding the fur industry. Do you believe animals are treated fairly and healthily by furriers, or the animals are raised in a cruel environment?

Before you decide on your thoughts toward this particular issue, we encourage you to conduct some research beforehand. There are lots of facts and articles about the fur industry that are worth taking a look into; the fact of the matter is that some of the articles about the “horrors” of the fur industry are sensational in nature and shouldn’t be taken as truth.

The Species of Animals Used to Create Real Fur Accessories

A few of the animals used to create real fur accessories in the past were hunted to the point of endangerment and, in some rare cases, extinction. However, the industry has now been regulated to the point that this doesn’t happen nearly as often as it used to. In fact, there are limits on the types of animals that can be used to create fur apparel all so certain species of animals can be protected. If you’re worried about potentially driving certain animal species past the point of no return, you can rest assured that this possibility is slim to none.

Of course, sometimes the best way to make a decision on whether to invest in fur accessories in Dallas is to try them on firsthand.
