Is it illegal to wear animal fur in US?

Jeannie Out of the Bottle

No, it is not illegal.
However, there are some crazy fanatics who occasionally behave atrociously and throw red paint and feel animals should have more rights than people.
Once in a restaurant, a girl attempted to challenge me regarding my leather jacket. I just laughed and said honey, it may have originated on the same farm as the steak you're eating. She looked rather sheepishly at her plate and apologized. She was a wannabe activist.

It is not illegal but there are a few terrorists known to throw blood or water on you if you are wearing fur because they are naturally violent, I guess.

No. But as you see there are those who would assault you for it. There are even those who would throw red dye on your imitation fur. Then justify it because wearing fake fur promotes the fur industry.
And just for Kim, if you do assault someone as you have suggested you would I hope that they defend themselves. You should then go to jail and pay damages.

Haha no! There are some people that throw red paint at you, but I have never seen it! Don't worry... your fine!

no, it's just gross and disgusting to wear an animal. but hay, who are we to stop someone from staying warm. if this country keeps going down hill, we'll all be wearing animal skins and furs to stay warm. so wear away.

what is wrong with some of you? when your ancesters first came to this country how do you think they kept warm? i see nothing wrong with wearing fur as long as it's for the right reason, to keep warm. people who come from other country's still practice wearing animal fur TO KEEP WARM.

No, it is not illegal. The few people who object to other people wearing fur, still eat meat. Maybe only from bald animals.

Absolutely untrue

Micky....the resurrection

No it is not illegal but you have to watch out for the animal rights activists who go way overboard in their message.
For Kim, do you really think people will stop wearing fur if you throw things on them? I don't personally wear fur but if I did and someone attacked me like that, I'm kicking some **** and then I'm suing for the cost of my fur.

It is not illegal, but many 'animal rights' supporters advise not to wear real fur and have demonstrations from time to time. It is ironic that sometimes these protests get out of control and the defense of innocent animals is conveyed in a violent way.
I assume you are a foreigner planning your trip to USA. 'Immigration' is not the right category for your question. If you are going to travel in next 1-2 months, you may not need heavy protection like fur. There is a possibility of it getting stolen. Also make sure if you are supposed to declare the furs when you enter the country.
Happy traveling !!!

Absolute piffle. Wear your fur proudly. Even here in the UK, the politically correctness centre of the world, I wear my full length men's fur coat (and no it doesn't look poncy or feminine or gay) and never had any hassle other than some idiot once have a feeble attempt to argue, which he lost badly in an embarrassing way. I get many complements from my wearing my coat.

Don't worry the PeTAphilies are a bunch of hypocrites. Real fur is far more sustainable than the fake rubbish and doesn't put anywhere near as many chemicals into the environment.

WhyMe?

It's not illegal but PETA activists can attack you for wearing fur so just beware. I'm not an activist but I don't think wearing fur has a point other than showing off.

MAD DOG

No.

You'll just get red paint thrown on by PeTA.

life is good!

I'd throw paint on you.

edit: to the person below. I am aware of that, it would not stop me and I would gladly accept the charge.
