What do cats and pigs have in common?
Answer: Both are used to make LEATHER!
Leather can be made from:
(just to name a few)
*Cows
*Pigs
*Goats
*Sheep
*Alligators
*Ostriches
*Kangaroos
*Horses
*Zebra
*Bison
*Buffalo
*Elephants
*Snakes
*Dolphins
*Dogs
*Cats
Yes, DOGS and CATS are slaughtered for their meat and skins in China (China exports their skins around the world). *Since leather is normally not labeled, you never really know where (or whom) it came from.
Most
leather comes from developing countries like India and China, where
animal welfare laws are either non-existent or not enforced.
Many
of the millions of cows and other animals who are killed for their skin
endure the horrors of factory farming—Along with extreme crowding and
deprivation, the animals must go through a series of painful procedures.
ALL THE FOLLOWING ARE DONE WITHOUT ANY PAINKILLER:
*castration
*branding
*tail-docking
*dehorning
*and even skinning the animal alive!
InIndia,
a PETA investigation found that cows have their tails broken and chili
peppers and tobacco rubbed into their eyes in order to force them to get
up and walk after they collapse from exhaustion on the way to the
slaughterhouse. At slaughterhouses, animals routinely have their throats
slit and are skinned and dismembered while they are still conscious
after improper stunning.
Most of the millions ofanimals
slaughtered for their skin endure the horrors of factory farming before
being shipped to slaughter, where many are skinned alive. Buying leather
directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses since skin is
the most economically important byproductof the meat-packing industry. *Leather
is also no friend of the environment since it shares all the
environmental destruction ofthe meat industry, in addition to the toxins
used in tanning
With every pair of leather shoes that
you buy, you sentence an animal to alifetime of suffering. Instead, you
can choose from hundreds of styles of nonleather shoes, clothing, belts,
bags, and wallets. Fashion shouldbe fun, not fatal! Read more about the cruelty of the leather industry.
Whose skin are you in?
Okay, I agree mistreating critters is wrong… but srsly nothing compares to my leather jacket, its survived ten years and a car fire…..
