Biodegradeable polymers have been round for donkey's years. This needn't be an issue. I don't think special forces use fur on any garments and they need to cope with extreme conditions. There's plenty of alternatives that don't involve what really amounts to animal cruelty. If I can avoid it and it's not necessary for the function of the article I'm kind of confused why anyone would actually choose to go for the crueler option. I just bought myself a parka that was on sale, original price was about that of a Canada Goose jacket and the thing is incredibly warm. It has synthetic fur trim and supposedly ethically sourced down filling.

Here's a company that makes their clothing in canada. They have very high quality stuff, not urban expedition centered.
So does Canada goose use farmed or hunted fur?
Her beaver got pounded, alright. I'm sure that was part of getting famous
How is the static on those?
I can tell you lots of coyotes get hunted just for fun

Maybe it's the one she was donating. Still weird though...someone had to buy it in the first place. ...or was it given to her?
Do you have polyester for filling? Or down?
As you see from Lightcycle's post above, it was a gift
That being said, I do not support peta and recommend that people do not donate a penny. Return their media back in their supplied envelopes so they have to pay for postage. Not because of this issue (this is one of the few times I've been in agreement with them), but rather because of their practice of killing adoptable pets, stealing people's pets and killing them and spending more money on raising money than they do on actually treating animals well.
I find the use of an animal solely for its fur to be immoral, use every bit of the animal or don't use it.
As for coyotes being pests, as we encroach further into the wilds with our subdivisions and put our livestock and pets out in harms way we will have incidents. It is us who are the pests.
In fur ranching the carcass gets used in a variety of ways, pet foods, industrial rendering plants, sent to feed other ranched animals. In trapped furs the carcass feeds other coyotes, ravens, vultures, fox and anything else that has a scavenger diet. It depends on your perspective of what is waste.
I have no issue with PETA and the message they have. I do have an issue when they release 1000 chinchillas into the fields around the 'ranch' because they think they are setting them free, not decimating the local environment. Sometime celebrities get to hold attention because they are celebrity not because they have a clue.

I have one and the matching snow pants but work paid for it, I used it for an outdoor installation in Northwest Territories in the winter, and I took off the fur because it's not my look and it wasn't that windy. That said, I'd rather see fur be worn and used than disposed of if the animal has already been killed. If I throw out the jacket or the fur that doesn't bring the coyote back to life.
Also, there are places where coyotes are hunted just to keep the populations down. I'd rather seem at least part of them get used.
I would be against that but I am not for people who thinks any wearing of fur is bad. I have a feeling that Canada Goose doesn't skin their coyotes alive.
Coyotes are hunted for fun in Canada because they are considered pest. Sad, I know but that's just the way it is.
Welcome back!
