Fighting fur on the demand side does seem more tractable than on the supply side. As I say, I’m worried that banning mink farming would result in a move to less responsible countries. But if you can make fur symbolize not only animal cruelty but also being “pro-pandemic” and socially irresponsible, I say go for it—it clearly is both of those things. If I could wave a magic wand and end the fur industry for good, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
