Ban The International Fur Trade

I know that a lot of people aware of this - the cruelty of the fur trade industry - but I feel that we have  to talk about it until it vanishes forever.
I got a letter from Peta and it says it so well that I just to want to quote it...

"The fur trade is one of the cruellest industries on earth. Every year, millions of individual animals, including rabbits, minks, foxes and even cats and dogs, are mercilessly killed and skinned – often whilst they are still conscious – for an item of clothing!

There is no excuse for wearing fur. With so many luxurious fur alternatives on the market and so many top-end designers and high street shops using high-tech modern fabrics, there is no reason why a single animal should be confined to a cage on a fur farm and slaughtered for the skin on his or her back.

And yet some uncaring designers and fashion houses continue to use fur in their collections."

"Fur belongs to the wonderful animals who were born with it – not on the backs of vain people. If animals on fur farms could speak, I know they would be calling out for you to save them from a cruel and painful death."

"The designers and fashion houses that continue to sell fur spend thousands of pounds on advertising and PR to try to convince you that the animals they turn into coats and fur trim are treated well and have a good life.

Don't believe them. Here is the terrible reality:

• Animals languish in barren metal cages with barely enough room to move around for almost their entire lives.
• They go insane from boredom, and many bite and chew at their own flesh. Undercover investigators found an animal who had gnawed his own limb down the very bone.
• Some animals who are kept together in cages fight and jostle for space, and sometimes only one survives. Cannibalism is not uncommon.
• To prevent damaging the valuable fur, the farm workers will kill the animals by poisoning them, breaking their necks or using anal electrocution.

Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruellest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gassing and poisoning. Many animals are electrocuted by having rods inserted into their rectums and 240 volts sent through their bodies. The animals convulse, shake and often cry out before they have heart attacks and die. Crude killing methods aren't always effective, and sometimes animals "wake up" while they are being skinned.

Please help stop this horrrible industry. How you can help?

• Don't buy from designers who uses fur in their designs.
• Educate people who don't know about the truth of the fur industry.
• Write letters, sign petitions. For example: Tell Burberry to stop selling fur - petition.
• Donate: here you can.

Dogs, cats, rabbits, foxes, wolves and other wonderful, intelligent animals are waiting for your help.
