Fur “Stinks”

Fur “stinks”
because it is a part of one’s body, an animal’s skin which is no longer
in function after the animal’s death, and tends to rot and decay as any
other part of a carcass would, resulting in a bad smell. Processing of
fur, which uses enormous quantities of water and chemicals that can be
carcinogenic, is meant to slow down this process and reduce the stench.

Fur “stinks” because
violence that is ‘weaved’ into every fur coat or garment has no
justification and it requires a public condemnation of everyone who
sells it, promotes it or wears it.

Fur “stinks”
because most of the animals are raised at fur farms where, after
spending their lives in tiny, filthy cages, they are killed by gassing,
electrocution, strangulation, suffocation, poisoning with strychnine,
breaking their necks, or inserting red hot iron rods into their anuses.

Fur “stinks”
because animals that are trapped in nature freeze or burn under the hot
sun, helplessly exposed to predators. Those that survive are trodden to
death, strangulated, drowned or bludgeoned by the hunters in order to
prevent stains on fur.

Fur “stinks”
because millions of “unwanted” animals such as dogs, birds, cats,
rabbits, or squirrels get caught in the traps and die in agony.

Wearing
fur coats and trimmings should be abandoned immediately and left to the
past as part of primitive heritage. Today there is an abundance of
high-quality ecological materials which are far better-looking and
warmer than animal fur.

Fur “stinks” because wearing animals for clothing is completely inexcusable, egotistical, heartless and hideous.
