...I'm missing something. Is this secret saying they don't like her anymore because she wears fur? What a stupid reason. She's not wearing children-skin, and animals are animals; we butcher them all the time.

Not everyone has the same beliefs in regards to this. For some of us, this is a moral issue. There's nothing wrong with that.

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

Also, perceptions of things like this may vary a lot by culture, too. I'm in the U.S., and at least in the environment I grew up in, fur has always been seen as outdated at best. It seems very common for people to see fur as being barbaric here.

I grew up in Wyoming, and some members of my family still make a living trapping rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. So, it's moral issues versus livelihood for me. You're morals don't have to match mine, obviously, but fur isn't considered outdated everywhere.

Which is why I specified my environment. I don't doubt that it may be very different in some states or in more rural areas. But in the places I've lived, wearing fur is very rare.

Ok, moral issue. Fair enough, you don't like this. As you say nothing wrong. Well when you take your moral issue and use it to be outraged at other people like the girl in the secret or people who want to wear fur and such? Like this thread is doing? There's your problem which is what a lot of people do. If you just decided it's not for you but this whole thing is telling others they can't or shouldn't. If we are to respect your morality and cultural differences, respect others' and that you might find it ugly but lots of people find it quite beautiful.

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

That's a difficult thing. There's a fine balance between believing that something is wrong for you and believing something is wrong, period. The latter can be a really slippery slope, but we all draw the line somewhere.

In any case, I don't agree with the OP that this isn't a subjective or cultural issue. I wouldn't feel comfortable making broad claims about the morality of fur. But I do think it makes some sense to choose role models who have values we agree with. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with losing respect for someone if they do something we don't believe in or hold an opinion you find abhorrant.
