Fur is not fabric… fur is murder.
What do you think when you see a fur coat?? A symbol of
wealth? A fashion statement? Or the pain
and misery of the animals the fur was ripped from?
There seems to be so much real fur on display at the moment,
on the catwalks of the recent fashion weeks and on celebrities, I can’t help
but wonder if people have forgotten fur isn’t a fabric. Designers etc. will
tell you that it was obtained humanly, but ask how you humanly kill health
creatures just so someone can have a coat and they struggle to answer. After
all it is 2012 and there are alternatives and we don’t live in an ice age!
Of course some fur farms are better than others, but any fur
designs encourages fur into fashion and most people can’t afford the “humane”
designer fur and buy the cheap copies where the fur comes from China or via pet
dogs and cats stolen from the streets. Even faux fur feeds into keeping fur in
fashion, plus faux fur from China has found to include cat, dog and rabbit fur.
As you can tell China has a lot to answer for when it comes
to fur, this is because of the lack of laws protecting animals and lack of
labelling laws.
The Chinese fur farms are living hell. Anyone that has been
to one has said the only thing worse than dying on one, is living on one.
Ok here is where it gets horrifying... Animals on fur farm
in China suffer the most barbaric treatment; they are left without food or
water, to suffer all the weather elements, crapped into small cages. They go
mad with the torment they suffer; they chew off their own limbs and some just
scream the whole time.
When it comes to “harvesting” these poor creatures are
beaten, crushed, anally or vaginally electrocuted or just skinned alive, after
having their limbs (if they still have them) removed to stop them struggling.
Most stay aware throughout the process and even live for minutes after the
process is done. The killing is done in plain view of the next victims. If you
can stomach it and want to check I’m speaking the truth there will be video
links added soon on this blog.
When you learn about the horror & misery that goes into
fur, you wonder how anyone could possibly want to be associated with it, but so
many magazines, such as Vogue, and celebrates, such as Kim Kardaishian are on
the payroll of fur companies it shocking. I would personally rather be a
prostitute than earn my money off this horror.
So next time you see someone in a fur coat, you will know
who the real fashion victims are.
