Un-fur-givable

I'm sorry, but every time i see snapshots of celebrities by paparazzi strutting on the street with their oh-so-beautiful and oh-so-expensive fur coats, my inner self explodes as if it's a volcano.

Can you endure the pain of a fur coat? At least one animal is scarified through cruel means; drowning, gassed, hit on the head and hung and even electrocuted.

Unforgivable. Unfurgivable. 

Fur Fur Fur

Once again, i cannot emphasize how extremely cruel it is to wear fur. Yet i can't help noticing the large numbers of people wearing big big fur coats, especially since it's winter. It disgusts me. It really does.

I wouldn't try to be extremely biased here. In a way i really do understand why fur clothing are fashion statements. But it really horrifies me how we're at a state in civilization where we have many other types of clothes to keep us warm. We're not cavemen and we do not require the skin of benign dead animals to keep warm and alive. This is the same as leather, although i highly doubt preventing the use of leather would be very effective as most of the designer brands and so forth use leather to produce their products. I, however, avoid leather and all kind of animal cruelty related products like they're the plague. You should too.

Of course, i do see a point why people use leather. We raise and slaughter cow for meat, and as it is impossible to make every single one in this world a vegetarian, making leather from cow makes full use of its existence. But fur coats from tiny cute furry animals such as foxes, minks and rabbits? Really?

Synthetic fur exists for a reason. Man-made cruelty free fur. Just as soft and as luxurious. And the upside? No living thing is killed!

Abusing and murdering innocent animals for the sake of vanity products is absolutely unnecessary and plain horrifying and a disgrace to the human race.

Fur Coats. Where Do I Even Start?

One thing i'm sure of though.

Fur Coats are worn by beautiful animals and ugly people

Now i'm sure a lot of people just don't understand the process of the production of such coats. 

Why do people wear fur coats? Because they're warm and comfortable? Because they're fashionable? I don't think wearing the blood of a living creature is fashionable. What they're wearing, whether it's a fox fur coat or a chinchilla one, they're all related. It's the blood and skin of a living thing that was once alive.

Can you imagine the pain and agony those poor little creatures went through? Workers throw the animals on the ground and beat them until they're too weak to fight back. The animals are then hung either by their tail or thrown on their backs. And as a dog owner, the only time my dog likes lying on his back is when i give him a tummy rub.

So you might ask why they're skinned alive. That's a good question. And if you ask those cruel workers? They'll answer "Because it's easier". To me, it simply means "The animal's pain is not significant to me as long as i have it easy".

Those pitiful creatures are then left in a corner, their skeletons writhing in pain. For what? To contribute to the economy? To produce fashionable clothing? It's gruesome! The fur doesn't belong to anyone apart from the original animal. It's not human's choice. If we were an animal, would we want ourselves skinned?

Discourage your family and friends from wearing leather! Tell them about animal skinning! Whatever clothing you have made from real animal fur to the needy! I'm not encouraging people to wear fur, but if you already have one, then i'd beg you to give it to someone who has an excuse to wear it. And also because i can't do anything to undo your mistake from buying such products but to suggest you donate it for a good cause. Then at least you're helping a human even though it's at a cost of an animal.
