Fur Fashion- Getting Involved In Campaigns

If you are thinking about purchasing fur fashion items, you should first evaluate many points. Do not buy fur garments and try to convince people you know that do not either. In addition, you can always get involved in campaigns against animal killing. Gather as much as possible reasons for not buying, you can write letters to newspapers in your city or protest to the establishments that sell furs.

1. If you already have a fur coat do not use, their use might induce someone to buy a coat like that.

2. Participate in the protest actions that take place in your city, working in the campaign to collect signatures and associate any of the groups campaigning against the use of fur.

Like every year, when winter come the controversy rages over the use of fur. Until recently everything was mere witnesses, but in recent successful campaigns has achieved remarkable results skinning and have resulted in falling sales of fur coats and the closure of numerous fur farms.

Just look at Europe to guess what would happen later in our country. The reason finally established itself, and fortunately, the new generations are more sensitive to these issues. The leather garments are not functional; do not serve to combat the cold when there is no animal fat layer, which is the true insulator. In fact give more heat to the skin on the inside. To combat the cold there are plenty of natural fabrics and synthetic fibers, less bulky, little heavy and breathable. In fact, any skier or mountaineer will carry leather garments occur.

The only reason I used is the aesthetic. And against this weak argument precludes personal ethics and solidarity with nature. The guild fur out advertising campaigns defending the freedom of choice of individuals, but that is where lies the strength of the campaigns, free choice after knowing the cruelty and aggression to animals and the environment. If someone still buy fur coats for lack of information.

Obtaining skins

There are two ways of obtaining skins, hunting and farming on farms. Hunting is done with invasive methods such as sticks and other non-selective: traps, snares and traps, which fall even protected animals and people. Death occurs after a long agony, bleeding, suffocation, etc. Some manage to escape after pulling member caught.

Furriers, before the advance of the campaigns against, have invented another gimmick like the label "skin of origin" to indicate which have been developed from animal farms. But it is cruel factory farming on farms. It is a traumatic captivity because these animals, in their ethological and instinct, are very active and are not adapted to the housing.

For example, a fox has a territory of 20 to 50 square kilometers, while the cage measuring 0.6 meters. They suffer from stress and schizophrenia. It affects behavior, with frequent attacks that sometimes they even cannibalism among them.

The cages are confined spaces where the animal can scarcely turn around. Live in the same cage the whole litter. These habitats are mesh on all sides, including the ground, so it will deform membranes plantar. Many are killed by various procedures such as gassing with carbon monoxide in an agony that can last 30 minutes, electric shocks with electrodes, or broken neck at the hands of operators. They are then skinned and their bodies shredded to serve food to their fellows.
