This is how PETA denounces the horrendous exploitation of minks for making fur coats and accessories like lashes.

"In Australia and other countries, mink lashes have become popular. Their mink fur, that's been shaved off a mink's body, that are then glued in strains to a human's eyelashes for a fuller and thicker look. Mink lashes are often sold as 100% cruelty-free or safely collected from a free-range farm or even taken only after the minks have been brushed. Minks are the most commonly farmed fur-bearing animals in the world."

To discuss this topic, I have with me Malcolm Klimovic, a professional photographer and an animal rights activist who got in legal troubles for denouncing this industry

Do you believe it is ethically acceptable to purchase mink fur at a second hand store? The issue of wearing second hand fur is that it promotes real fur fashion. Wearing real fur in public may encourage someone to buy a brand-new real fur clothing item. Wearing any item made from the death of an animal is also speciesist. Give that fur coat the proper burial it deserves.

In addition, some retailers that are targeted by anti fur campaigns have tried stating they want to used recycled fur. But there is often no third party verification process that traces where the fur is coming from. It is used by retailers as an attempt to circumvent initiating a fur free policy.
