http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_HartMs. Hart is also a batshit crazy fundie moron. "We need to have as our mission for our kids AIMING for Heaven, not Harvard."
She's also woefully inaccurate in her article. She states, "the AVMA noted that most farm-raised fur animals, which is where most U.S. pelts come from...". The US has roughly 10% of the worlds fur farms, and fur farms are responsible for 90% or so of all fur sold.
Also, "It's no accident that America's fur industry produces the most expensive furs in the world." is also inaccurate. While Blackglama is an expensive brand, Royal Chie commonly sells fur coats well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. That fur comes from Finland and Denmark, IIRC.
