The reason that fur was picked on over and above other types of animal products was...
The reasoning I heard that rang most true was that it is much easier to shout at celebs and old ladies than bikers.
It was said by a comedian, but I still think it's proably true. There are a heck of a lot of luxury leather goods out there too.
I suspect there are some grim fur farms, I suspect there are some entirely sustainable and "pleasant as natural habitat" ones too. Like with meat I think the way forward is making the quality of life of the animal the first question you ask (and the first thing the marketing tells you).
