Fake for the Crocs’ Sake

The mock-croc look is in! Now while some celebs, ~~(i.e. Ashley Olsen)~~ not naming any names, will insist on the real deal and support an industry that costs the lives of magnificent crocodiles and alligators, we – along with fashion writers, shops and celebrities everywhere – know that fake is always better. Better for the sake of the animals and the mock-look is totally convincing. Alligators can naturally live up to 60 years, yet on farms they’re usually butchered before their fourth birthday, often beaten with hammers and sometimes take up to two hours to die. Check out these new ads aimed at the exotic-skins trade, pretty nifty huh? But what I want to know is, which do you prefer?
