CRUELTY IS NEVER
IN STYLE
If you don’t want animals trapped, clubbed
or gassed, don’t buy fur!
Before you buy fur, please think about the animals that were
killed to make this product. If these animals were trapped,
they suffered excruciating pain in steel-jaw leg-hold traps
for hours or even days. Such traps also catch dogs, cats,
songbirds and other animals who either are crippled or killed
or who chew off their own feet to escape, only to suffer or
die later. If these animals were “ranched,” they
were kept in tiny, dirty cages for months and were killed
by electrocution, poison, suffocation or possibly were skinned
alive. Remember that trappers, “ranchers” and
furriers care only about their profit, not about the animals’
suffering. Please show that you do care and don’t buy
or were fur.
To wear fur or not to wear fur-the real issue
is compassion. Fortunately, due to the manufacture and availability
of products like cotton, canvas, fiber, nylon, acrylic, and
others, we can cloths ourselves in a cruelty-free manner.
For the American people, fur has become as
More than thirty million animals world-wide
are raised in cages and killed each year for their fur. Not
only are cage raised animals killed inhumanely, but they suffer
numerous physical and behavioral abnormalities induced by
the stress of caging condition. Synthetic fabrics that are
warmer and lighter than fur have eliminated the need for fur
apparel.
Because many animals are housed in a small
area, caged-fur facilities contribute to environment contamination.
As animal waste falls to the ground through the cage floors,
it is washed through the rain into nearby streams and lakes.
The nutrients contained in the animals waste can also soak
into the soil and contaminate ground water. Unnaturally high
level of phosphorus and airregen cause increased algae growth
and can kill trees.
