Hello vegans!

I recently found a therian mask that I really wanted to buy. I messaged the seller, asked for some extra photos, and we started discussing shipping. Only afterwards did I notice that the description said it was made with real fur.

(I was honestly surprised because therian masks made with real fur are generally pretty frowned upon in the community, so I didn't even think to check the materials beforehand😔)

I apologized to the seller and told them I wasn't comfortable buying it because it used real fur.

They replied with two things:

1. They said they only used real fur because they had run out of faux fur and reused the fur from an old coat instead of buying new fur.
2. They offered to remove the real fur and replace it with faux fur if I still wanted the mask.

I'm curious what other vegans think about this situation. Would you consider buying the mask after the fur was replaced, or would you still avoid it?
