Fur has always been popular with people, especially women. Some people like fur clothes because they are warm in cold weather, while others just follow fashion. However, there are plenty of people who believe that animals should not be murdered for their awesome fur. Let me express my opinion.

I suppose, it is wrong to wear clothes made from natural fur. Firstly, killing animals is cruel. Animals are living beings that have the right to live. Secondly, nowadays, we do not need animal fur to survive. We can buy warm clothes made of different quality material. In addition, it is hard to look after fur, for example, it is impossible to wash it.

Nevertheless, fur fans are sure that it is warmer than artificial materials and it is essential in the countries with severe climate. Moreover, modern fashion is unimaginable without fur. Many designers use fur to decorate their creations because it is very beautiful. Besides, it is considered that having a fur coat is a sign of the owner’s wealth and high position in the society.

I cannot totally agree with these arguments. In my opinion, our market can offer equal substitute for fur as modern technologies have created a big number of excellent fabrics.

To sum up, I believe it is unacceptable to kill animals for fur to satisfy people’s ambitions to look trendy or show off. I am sure it is possible to find an elegant warm garment made without natural fur.
