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.

That has be near top of list of the things that should not ever be allowed to import, let alone from a sanctioned country.

Dont kill the sables :c

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.

Luxury market on an uptik?

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

It's definitely because many non-disgustingly-rich EU citizens are clamoring for it.
