I have a little problem with this discussion.
Do we really believe that we are supposed to rule on this as if it s a new shayla. You know, the world has been around for thousands of years, and The Torah has also been with our people for thousands of years. There have been mane great Torah scholars over the years. The fur industry has also been around for thousands of years. So why are we pretending that we need to make up rulings on this ancient subject which already has all the ruling necessary. Gedolim throughout the generations have worn furs and allowed others to wear them. Have you seen the famous painting of The Chasam Sofer? He’s wearing a fur hat. And so too many many others. So who is the person here who thinks he is going to be a bigger gadol baTorah than any gadol Klal Yisroel ever had? Who thinks he should question their rulings.
So this conversation is silly, conceited and ridiculous.
