I remember how popular naugahyde-covered furniture once was. You don't see it anymore since the African nauga became extinct and the Indian nauga was declared endangered. But you don't have to worry about the Arctic faux. All the faux fur used today comes from faux farms in Saskatchewan. Carl, I understand your concern.

And here I thought there was a biological medical basis! Silly me. Speaking of medicine, there at least they try to use EBM to verify procedures. Have the biologists done Proper Preparation before they don Faux Furs? So, insanity is in the eye of the beholder? And here I thought there was a biological medical basis! Silly me.
