Crimes of Fashion!

Dear Friends,
Certainly, I can't afford most of what makes the pages of fashion magazines, nonetheless I buy them , to look at the colourful, glossy pictures, particularly in September issue of Vogue  and Instyle, to get ideas for my modest fall and winter wardrobe. However, this season's "warm and fuzzy," splattered across the pages (raccoon, coyote, mink, snake, rabbit, fox) has left me cold and flat. How can anyone justify killing so many animals? It's not bad enough that they kill them (surely they were not lying dead, on the roadside, waiting to be skinned), but they also have to paint them! 
Although I would have issues with faux-meat, I really don't understand what can possibly be wrong with faux-fur or faux-leather. And, as my friends can testify, I'm not even an animal lover. I can only imagine, how humane society feels about these crimes of fashion!
If animal fever is contagious, only god knows how many more have to be bred and sacrificed so some women, who don't even walk in the cold, can make a Fendi statement, at $3.500 a hood!
