Fur Trade

Fur Trade is another form of animal cruelty.

"Eighty-five percent of the fur industry's skins come from animals living captive in fur factory farms." The animals are simply a money maker and aren't treated with respect they deserve. Minks and foxes are the most commonly farmed fur animals. The animals that are farmed have a short life span and are housed in small cages where disease and parasites live among them. By being confined so long and overcrowded many animals are driven to insanity. They only get a few drops of water (if that) and are only fed meat unfit for humans. There is no law that protects animals in fur farms. Their are sickening methods used on the animals such as electrocution, skinning, and gassing. People don't realize fur productions actually destroys the environment. "The amount of energy needed to produce a real fur coat from ranch-raised animal skins is approximately 20 times that needed to produce a fake fur garment". We are choosing to hurt animals to create clothing to improve our style, 

but was it worth an animal's life?

“Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't mean to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful."
