Cool, I'm sure the sables are thrilled to be tortured and killed again in higher numbers.

Why?

It's definitely because many non-disgustingly-rich EU citizens are clamoring for it.

They're famously mountainous countries. Not that I agree with using animal fur for warmth, but it's not like you can't be cold in Italy.

Also, in Greece, there is a giant pubic wig factory that needs them.

That has be near top of list of the things that should not ever be allowed to import, let alone from a sanctioned country.

I hate to say it, but sable hair makes some of the best paintbrushes... The structure of the hair is impossible to replicate synthetically.

I know I'm part of the problem.
