FUR On HUMANS.*
-------------------------------------------------
*I do not believe that animals should be killed to become someones coat.
If you are unaware of The Truth behind the 'processing' of All (yes, 'ALL') fur items, I implore you to investigate the barbaric 'behind the scene' cruelties of the fur market.
'YouTube' is a great place to start, if you can bare this Live Footage. -I, to be very honest, can not.
View the Chinese fur industry, as well, where the Majority of U.S. fur items are 'manufactured'.
Dogs and Cats too, are Routinely tortured, slaughtered and passed on as 'Faux' Fur.
The vast majority of these animals are skinned alive, a fact which is also well-documented.
Animal welfare laws and guidelines are virtually non-existent in China, where it is estimated that over two million dogs and cats are killed each year for their fur.
Child-labor (an entirely different subject) is also an increasingly serious issue in China.
The number of Chinese child laborers (16 years and younger) is estimated at between 2 and 3 million. Many of these children work in fur 'production'.
-Think about it.
This is not to say that a 'Humane' Fur Farm exists anywhere on Earth. -For one does Not.
The treatment of animals in China just happens to be Particularly despicable.
The German Shepherd, as but one example, is a top breed of choice for slaughter in China, as their fur most closely resembles that of a wild animal, such as the coyote or the raccoon.
I wish for every U.S. Law Enforcement Officer who has ever worked with the high intelligence of the German Shepherd to raise a voice in protest.
I would love to see every Handicapped U.S. Citizen who relies on the guidance and fierce loyalty of this breed to come forward, as well.
These animals are raised to adult proportion, for economic reasons alone.
Their lives in captivity are spent with the barest of necessities and within immobilizing cramped quarters.
Brutality is a way of life for these animals, as is the terror of witnessing the gruesome deaths taking place daily before their eyes.
There is little regard for their lives or for there slow and agonizing deaths.
Death does come slowly for these animals, as any damage to their pelt will result in financial loss.
It was recently revealed that the U.S. clothing lines of music artists Sean “Diddy” Combs ('Sean John') and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter ('Rocawear') were each diagnosed as having used the imported fur of the Raccoon Dog and falsely advertising this as 'Faux' Fur.
No fur-labeling, in either case, was included on any of these garments.
The Truly shocking thing about each of these instances, for me, was the fact that this Was 'shocking' for so many people.
-This deceptive sort of marketing is an Absolute commonplace 'occurrence' in the Fur and Fashion industries, taking place at this very moment - every day of the week.
There is vast, wide-spread and Live Documentation of these animals being skinned Alive for their fur. This is not at all unusual and is, for many 'harvesters', the cheapest 'way to go'.
I will not on this page display the unspeakable images which I have viewed, but I ask that you do a 'Google' search on this subject matter.
If you Then find yourself either Nauseous, Mad As Hell and/or in Tears, you may be ready to say the following along with me:
"I Pledge Never To Wear Fur And Shall Be Far More Beautiful For Having Not Done So."
If, somehow, this experience leaves you any less than heartsick, You are on the Wrong page. ~W

“Nothing will increase the chances of survival for life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.”
"If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty."
~Sir Paul McCartney
"To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body."
