We are in midst of the winter. Except for a few places down south, the northern
part of our country is pretty cold. Keeping yourself warm in a fur or leather
jacket sounds very cozy is it not? Great. Read on.

I had received an email from a friend. That email was in Spanish. I couldn’t make
the head of tail out of it. But there was a link to an embedded video, which I
clicked, not knowing what to expect. (later I learned that the mail was an
online petition chain mail.)

And then, I was watching the most gruesome video of my life. My stomach was churned
and I was almost on the verge of throwing up. My mind a turmoil and I was at my
depressive best.

Friends, please do not get deterred by my experience in watching that video. I want each
and every one of you to watch the video till the LAST. No matter if your
stomach churns, no matter if you get depressed. No matter if your mind becomes
numb and a mental mess. Still do watch it.

The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a
symbol of elegance and fashion. But these ads fail to show how the original
owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.


Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes,
bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are
killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild
by drowning, trapping, or beating.

On fur farms in China, where most fur originates, minks, foxes, rabbits, and other animals are kept in
tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. They are strangled, bludgeoned, and
often skinned while they are still alive. Since fur is often deliberately
mislabeled, if you wear fur, there's no way to tell whose skin you're in—it
could even be cat or dog fur.

What You Can Do

Compassion is fashion!
You can discourage trapping by discouraging fur-wearing. When you see people in
fur, tell them the facts about trapping; many people incorrectly assume that
animals are killed humanely. If we stop using fur and leather products, the
manufacturers / sellers will automatically stop manufacturing / selling them. Please
have some conscious friends. Please allow the beautiful animals to live too.

You value your liberty and freedom so much.

So do they.

You love to live life.

 So do they.

You have pain when you get hurt.

So do they.

So why kill?
