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.

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.
