CMV: We should not ban fur and leather production, the use of synthetic products in clothes harms everyone.

For the sake of environment, I don't see how banning fur and leather is good.  
I come from North Europe where weather can be rough, we are closing our fur farms and promoting to use synthetic. My family always tried to have products that are natural. (talking about clothes)  
Leather products always lasted me the longest and were more durable. For example shoes, I have 2 pairs of leather shoes that cost 3x more than synthetic ones, they were warmer and sturdier than synthetic shoes that I needed to change with each season.  
Even if producing  of leather  needs chemicals to process it, it will last you longer than synthetic ones that need constant replacement and are harder to recycle. Also leather keeps the warmth better.  
I have a fur coat from my grandmother. Nothing fancy but it lasted us already generations. We also keep pieces of furs that we apply on the hood of the coats and sleeves.  
If I purchase a fake fur it will barely last 1 season.  
Wool is better and environmentally healthier than synthetic counterpart. Cotton is better to make your skin breath and is more recyclable than synthetic.  


We end up killing animals in both ways, the synthetic and plastic production is still damaging the planet and killing more life in a long run, especially if we need to constantly replace it and the items that end up in nature don't decompose.   


I will agree that there are few synthetic coats of very good quality that can last you years. But they are too few in comparison of commercial mass production that is meant to least only 1 season.  


I feel like it's promotion from big commercial companies that want us to keep purchasing their products and really don't care of the environment. 

(To be clear I'm against using fur for luxury purpose, also fur is useless in warm countries)

How much environmental damage do you think one synthetic jacket causes?  Do you have any sources on this?

Also, IMO, it's worth drawing a distinction between leather and furs.  The amount of animal suffering involved is going to be substantially higher in the case of furs, since the animals are smaller and probably living in much worse conditions (cows are relatively well-treated as far as commercial farming goes).
