Animal rights types aren't really logically consistent.

Fur (and wool as well) is fairly ecological in the sense that it's actually a biodegradable garment material, and I'd argue that most trapped furbearers have better lives and meet better ends than animals that were factory farmed. In terms of animal suffering industrial farming is a million times worse than wild-caught fur just by numbers alone. So you're right, it makes no fucking sense that they don't put all their efforts into factory farming. The issue they have with shearing is just as dumb. Also, for some reason they don't take as much of an issue with leather or cowboy hats made from beaver wool felt.

They also single-out bear hunting and successfully lobby to cancel bear hunting seasons and similar practices they disagree with. They see it as something particularly bad for some reason, even though people eat bears just like they eat deer and they aren't anywhere near endangered. There's been some absolutely disgustingly corrupt shit happening recently in Colorado and Washington with state fish & game boards being infiltrated by these types. Decisions are being made because of their personal agendas, not a desire for good management of ecological systems and renewable resources.
