One follower informed the TOWIE star: ‘that company @west22uk uses REAL FUR- raccoon fur to be exact'.
While another fan admitted the snap was sweet but didn't agree with the fur: 'Beautiful but please don't promote fur ☹️ x'
A third follower implored the star to think again: 'Please can I ask @billiefaiersofficial why do you think it's ok to wear real fur? I'll accept your answer even if I disagree, I'm just curious to know if you've given it any serious thought? Thanks!'
Whereas this user didn't hold back, blasting the mum for the 'stupid hats': '@billiefaiersofficial teaching your children from a young age on how to be up compassionate towards animals , SHAME ON YOU ! What a disgusting trade to promote !! Skinning animals alive just to appear on a stupid hat !!!'
'Take those hats off those poor kids. Animals skinned alive for vanity and the kids have no choice', begged another follower, while this fan said: 'That's real fur I believe ? Real fur = unfollow. Celebrity status shouldn't be used for evil and promoting fur is just that.'
This fan simply questioned: 'why do you use animal fur when faux fur is available?'
