This discussion has arisen many times, but I am sure we can keep discussing it forever!
Some people love fur, and will wear it forever. The fact that some throw fake blood on them only serves to strengthen their stance of refusing to conform to political correctness, I think. I can't disagree with someone who feels that their choices are being forcibly removed through political correctness, it is a really unnattractive way of changing someone's mind.
For others... well I think their position has already been made clear.
I personally think that if an animal (eg rabbit) is a pest (in many countries, as it is in Australia) - then to enjoy wearing a rabbit fur jacket is not 'evil' as it can be portrayed, but in fact is quite an ecological stance... I realise that may sound bizarre to some, but hope some people understand this perspective.
Enjoying real leather/animal products is OK, as far as I'm concerned, as long as it comes from an ecologically-sound source, why not enjoy this beautiful natural material?
