Fur flies over fashion
6:21am Tuesday 13th February 2007 in News By Telegraph newsdesk
THE RSPCA is renewing anti-fur campaigns with the backing of Blackburn fashion designer Wayne Hemingway.
A survey for the animal charity shows 93 per cent of people will not wear real fur.
Mr Hemingway said: "The idea of wearing fur is disgusting, and the thought of anyone draping themselves in the skins of dead animals in the belief that it makes them look beautiful is beyond belief.
"We are not in the Stone Age, there is no need for real fur - fashion designers don't need to use it and people don't need to wear it."
