by Truth About Fur
Animal activists want to drive all animal users out of business, so it pays for the fur trade to keep abreast of their latest tactics. One now being pushed hard is “vegan fashion”, but what exactly is it? And how true is the hype? Does it really save animal lives, as proponents claim? And is it really more sustainable than alternatives?
First up, what qualifies as vegan fashion?
There is no strict definition, but the general idea is that no animals can be killed or harmed in any stage of its production. So it’s much like a vegan diet, except that you keep it in your closet.
But there is one important difference. Vegans only eat plants, but if you think they only wear plants, think again. Vegan fashion also contains lots of synthetics made from oil.
