A few years ago, I bought these fab boots that are black and have some fur that I assumed was fake (the label said balance man made.) But the other day my friend said she liked my boots, and I said they're not real fur. But she felt them and said they felt real. So then I asked a woman I know who knows quite a bit about fur, and she said it was RABBIT FUR!!! I am a vegitarian, and have always been opposed to fur. But I did get the boots while I was still eating meat. Anyway, what can I do to get over this horrible guilt...and do you think they were actual rabbit fur...?

Yes - what you can do is stop wearing them.
Donate them to the salvation army or some resale shop.
Every time you wear them you are advertising what you've done.
It may not bother some people but it obviously bothers you.

You need to weigh your guilt over fur that you've been wearing for three years with no qualms, against guilt you've been feeling for the last few days. If the guilt is too strong, get rid of the boots...Boots are just boots..Even though I love shoes... :P

have a professional tell you how does that woman know by feeling them that they are rabbit fur. Don't do anything until you find out for sure.

well if you're so worried, get a dna test on them or something...i mean did that woman just feel the fur and was like, "yup, that's rabbit fur, alright?" because if she did then that's not really reliable...

well, if you don't like the boots that much then get rid of them.
if you really love the boots then get a bunch more opinions by professionals if possible.
