For real? Got a link?
I think they’re confusing the fact that faux fur is less environmentally friendly than real fur. Real fur can biodegrade, faux fur is plastic. It’s the “vegan leather” debate.
I'm not confusing anything I added a link, there was a news story years ago exposing fashion brands not labeling real fur (implying it's synthetic because real fur must be labeled) or labeling it synthetic when it was real fur.

Yes it was a huge news story a few years ago, a lot of designer labels were just not labeling and quietly claiming it was synthetic or labeling real fur synthetic.
They are more animal friendly but just as environmentally bad is the result of my google search
I'm referring to real fur being labeled synthetic it was a big news story a few years ago.
