Killing animals for fashion

Being in fashion school, over the past year I have done more projects and research  on killing animals for their fur for our fashion. I've come to know horrible details of how they do it, I wont go into details because is to sad and depressing. All I know is that it is a huge issue and problem, there are so many designers that have real fox, squirrel, or lynx fur in there designs. ITS DISGUSTING!  ITS SAD! Do these designers really know how bad these animals get treated just so they can make a money on a coat?
