Calling a Fur a Fur

There was a time that celebrities sported fur as though it were diamonds and pearls.  Although these remain symbols of wealth, they are not symbols of empathy. 

The fashion world is finally ready to call out fur for what it truly is, the “skins of tortured animals.”  Although many a high-end company has already banned its use, there still remains a well-known exception.  Louis Vuitton continues to insist that its use of fur is somewhat “ethical and responsible.”  But the four-legged stakeholders did not get a vote.
