Fur trappers: The real pro-animal activists
'Fur is Green' model, brought to you by the Fur Council of Canada.
You gotta love the moxie of the Fur Council of Canada’s “Fur is Green” campaign:

This is one of five stranger-than-the-Yes-Men moments in marketing described in yet another brilliant column I wrote for the Mother Nature Network.
