“We now see fur as any other fabric. It’s just another piece of cloth." - Connecticut Furs
Huh?
When you spot a raccoon, does the image of a fur-trimmed jacket or a full-length coat pop into your head?
Of course not! Animals are so cute that when I see them, I can’t help but smile from ear to ear … I admit it. But when fur farmers and trappers, and some designers look at animals, all they see is future clothing, accessories, and dollar signs. That is exactly what this guy at Connecticut Furs is saying.
Raccoons, minks, foxes, chinchillas, rabbits, beavers, and in some Asian countries, even dogs and cats—are killed for their fur. This is so disgusting.
Just as someone else said, the animals are forced to live in horrible, crowded, dirty conditions and suffer painful deaths just so that they can be made into fur products. Crazy, I know—especially because there are so many alternatives to choose from. There’s no reason that anyone should still be wearing animals!
Animals don’t want to be made into the latest fashion trend, and the good news is: They don’t have to be! There are lots of alternatives to fur, including faux (fake) fur.
I am 18 years old and I wouldn't be caught dead in real fur.
