Well we all know how incredibly cruel the whole production for fur is and how those animals have to suffer. There is no "good fur" out there. Besides, farming and killing a living being just because you want to wear it's fur is a cruel act in itself. Fur is a luxury product and it's not like any human being out there would suffer by not wearing fur. Especially not someone like Ayu. Killing thousands of little kittens just because their fur is so fluffy - honestly, I don't even know what to say. Animals are not inanimated objects one can turn into a product which can be produced and farmed. Or at least they shouldn't be.
Since I don't think of Ayu as stupid and I think she knows the problematic behind all of this I think she just doesn't give a fuck about it. I'm disappointed she choses to wear fur but well, your idols are never as perfect as you wish they would be.

While everyone is allowed an opinion, and yours is truly valid, this portion however simply is not. I know this goes beyond the discussion of Ayu so I'll try and keep it short. But, have you ever looked up some of the areas in Russia where people live? (such as Oymyakon or Verkhoyansk) Wearing fur is probably their best bet for survival.
People living in America probably don't have much of an excuse to wear fur (depending on which state they live in, of course) but for places that are permanently frozen with a small population of people need furs to survive. This is more of an assumption on my part, however.
