No difference. Faux fur just sounds fancier because faux is the French word for false.

i do not see any massive difference myself. ought to they merchandise to a leopard-print textile? i ought to have concept that the reason the extremists ought to spray-paint fake fur isn't because they imagine it really is purely as undesirable as authentic fur, yet that they couldn't immediately figure the form. I mean, they couldn't extremely walk as a lot as each body with a can of spray paint and say, "it truly is not fake fur, is it?" so that they justify their moves to themselves with the "symbolism" argument, even regardless of the reality that their good judgment is lacking.
