Cool, I'm sure the sables are thrilled to be tortured and killed again in higher numbers.

Why do you need FUR in GREECE and ITALY of all the countries in the EU? ๐Ÿ™„

They're famously mountainous countries. Not that I agree with using animal fur for warmth, but it's not like you can't be cold in Italy.

Also, in Greece, there is a giant pubic wig factory that needs them.

I hate to say it, but sable hair makes some of the best paintbrushes... The structure of the hair is impossible to replicate synthetically.

I know I'm part of the problem.
