I was thumbing through my daughter’s phonebook-sized fall fashion magazine, and I was horrified to see so much fur is in the fall collections. If people and designers knew how intensely animals suffer to have their fur removed, and if they had any compassion, they would eliminate fur from their designs.
Some animals are skinned alive as the skin/coat comes off easier and more intact before rigor mortis sets in. The animals are picked up by their feet and their bodies are slung to bash their heads on the ground until they are unconscious.
Minks are killed by using an electrode in their anus and are forced to bite a wire to electrocute them. In China and other Asian countries, our beloved cats and dogs are rounded up and killed for their fur. Their fur has been found mixed in with “fashionable fur” AND faux fur.
When you purchase a garment with fur, you have created a demand for cruelty. Consider having compassion for the wellbeing and comfort of other living beings who should not have to suffer just to be the latest fashion trend.
The glow from your inner being should be your best and most attractive accessory. Say no to fur and let the animals live a pain free existence in their own skin. You can even consider going vegan with your clothing and accessories which means not using any animal products…leather, suede, feathers, fur etc.
Man has exploited so many natural resources, some to the point of extinction. We have to evolve as a society to be more in harmony and less burdensome to beings who have every right not to be harmed and exploited.
