Fashion has turned furry this week with models sporting more fox fur than a hunt.
Kate Moss was seen draped in furs, while designer Julien Macdonald launched his new fur-filled collection at London's Fashion Week.
But would you wear fur in the name of fashion? Do you think wearing leather shoes is as bad as wearing fur?

Wearing animal fur is disgusting and I don't understand why models want to wear it. Kate Moss should be ashamed of herself. I used to look up to her but my mind has changed since.

Kill ugly things like llamas or something but not cute stuff like bunnies!

I think real fur coats should be banned.

I once wore a real fur coat (I didn't know it was real until afterwards) for a play and it felt horrible and minging.

Wearing fur just shows how heartless fashion models and fashion designers are.
Catherine, 11, Wolverhampton
I have a fur coat myself but it's fake. Why not just wear fake fur rather than kill an animal?
Helen, 10, Reading
People who are cruel and strange enough to want to wear parts of dead bodies around themselves deserve all the abuse and criticism they get.
Martin, 15, Glasgow
I think wearing fur is disgusting, it is only for looks and living, breathing animals are more important than some silly fashion scheme.
Eleanor, 10, Weymouth
I think that people are making too much of a fuss over nothing, the majority of people don't buy fur so why get bothered over the small minority that do!
Oliver, 14, Bristol
People say fur is just a by-product of meat - I would never eat a fox or a tiger! I think it's sad that animals have to be killed for a new fashion craze!
Zenna, 14, Plymouth
What have these animals ever done to deserve the treatment we give them? I can't believe people have the nerve to kill animals and use them for senseless purposes, such as fashion.

Imagine wearing the fur of your cat or dog? I certainly wouldn't like that at all!
Annabel, 12, York
I would wear fur. It looks and feels better than faux fur. The good thing is you¿re keeping animal numbers down.
Susan, 13, Kilmarnock
Real fur is sick. It's like wearing dead animals around your neck.
Toni, 13, Warwickshire
Animal fur is just a by-product. Animals are killed for meat not fur!
Everyone wears leather school shoes and leather trainers. It's the same thing.
Dani, 14, Gerrards Cross
What's wrong with fake fur? It looks just as good, costs less and means animals don't have to suffer because of us selfish humans!
Melissa, 16, Ruislip
Wearing fur is cruel and should be illegal. I even try not to wear leather shoes.
Emily, 12, Worthing
I can't believe models are wearing fur again and they're vain enough to make animals suffer.
Rachel, 12, Bristol
