Can you answer this?I've heard both sides?

My grandma got me this really cute jacket for my 11 b-day and even though it has faux fur I wanted to know if they shave the bunny or do they have to kill it?I have heard both sides
Answers:
If it's faux fur then isn't it fake and not from any animal?
Thats what i thought? hmmm.
I never heard of bunnies fur being used to make faux fur.
I'm pretty sure they would have to kill it.
faux fur is fake fur so they are not shaving or killing anything.
faux fur as in fake fur. that is synthetic material. Fur comes from different animals. I think your safe.
darlin, they have to kill it to get the skin and fur.sorry. if it's true faux, it's a polypropylene type material.
Faux fur is not real fur. Faux means fake with is some kind of processed polyester or other material to look and feel like real fur. They do shave goats and rabbits to make things like angora sweaters, but they don't call it faux. Check the tag.
Sadly to say but they don't shave an animal for its fur.here is a video to let you know what happens to animals that dress up our clothes with their fur..It is VERY VERY hard to watch.http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?. please don't buy anymore clothes with real fur.THEY ARE SKINNED ALIVE!
animals used for fur industries are killed, the fur is not removed from skin. some birds are removed of feathers at the loss of life but not those who's feathers are clipped to prevent flight.
they kill it they have to use the skin on it 2! isnt it mean!
I think your sources are a little mixed up.

Yes, there is such a thing as rabbit skin fur, which means that you'd have to kill the rabbit for its skin. 'Faux', of course, is the French word for 'false'.

Bunnies that are shorn or plucked for their fine, soft fur are Angora rabbits. This fur is made into the famous Angora wool.
.
any fur or leather garment is made from a dead animal. they just gradually make the skin layers thin enough to be covered by material/lining.
faux fur means "FAKE" fur meaning it is made from a synthetic material, not a real animal.that is the point of fake fur!
