Fur in Fashion

After reading the PETA websites page on Fur in Fashion I was astonished and thought it was very wrong. However after going to a not so biased website (the British Fur Trade Website) I realised that it isn't bad IF it is done legally and ethically.

However on the PETA website I found the following quote:

"It is hard to fathom that anyone is still wearing fur. It is so plain to see that killing animals for their fur is completely barbaric. The only purpose is vanity." —Joaquin Phoenix

Is this a fair statement, when in countries such as Iceland fur is essential to survive the below zero temperatures.
