Kate under fire for fur campaign

Kate Moss is the latest celeb to come under criticism from animal rights groups after fronting Burberry campaign that contains fur. The World Society for the Protection of Animals wrote a letter to Moss and says, "I've written in the hope that she will think twice before wearing or advertising fur in the future." A rep for Burberry insists that their use of fur is as humane as possible and says, "There will be occasions where the use of fur will be...important to the design and aesthetics of a product. We will not use fur if there is a serious concern that the fur has been produced by the unacceptable treatment of the animals concered." Wait...I'm confused. Doesn't the very presence of fur mean an animal has died??
