Fur: Mean, Not "Green"

Fur is mean, and not 'green', claims PETA, stating that 'more than 60 times as much energy is needed to produce fur coats from ranch-raised animals than is needed to produce fake furs'. Which might as well be true, if one excludes things such as oil-drilling and transport, refining, and such, from the polymer side of that calculation. Since they haven't bothered to actually show us how they got to the number they cite, that is probably so.
