Is it morally OK to wear fur? I would say YES! What are we eating when we buy a hamburger from Mcdonalds? Meat! And what do the manufacturers do when they kill an animal, then take out the meat? They probably sell the fur to some other manufacturer who makes it into a coat. This is all simple guys. When an animal is killed for us to eat, all of it goes to use! The fur is just a little bonus we get, it is fine to wear it.

God created man on the sixth day, and what did he create animals for? He created them for our pleasure. Which includes eating and using their fur. Who wants to eat vegetables all the time? Not me! God allows us to kill the animals for us to eat, and he just adds a little bonus in there for us just to be nice.

Now, there is one exception. If you are a hunter and you like to hunt for sport, please be careful. Don't hunt endangered species or something fairly rare in your part. There is nothing worse than killing an animal for game, then just leaving it there to rot. That is disrespectful to God. Also, if you hunt for the meat, try and preserve the fur. Don't just throw it away or throw it down some where. We need to be respectful and thankful for what God has given us.

Even after that exception, I still believe it is morally OK to wear fur. Just as long as you aren't trashing it.
