Killing animals for fur.
Every
year, millions of animals are killed for the clothing industry, all in the name
of fashion, and since humans do anything to be trendy, this means a big
worldwide business.
I strongly disagree with this view for a number of reasons.
First of all, millions of animals are killed annually; some of them are raised
and slaughtered on farms and others are hunted by using non-selective traps,
which in turn causes the death of more animals that are not useful for fur.
Also, the methods used to kill animals are shocking. In the case of wild
animals, death occurs primarily through the use of traps which do not
kill the animal quickly, but that prolong suffering.
Farm animals are forced to live in small boxes. As a result, they suffer psychological
stress, abnormal movements, apathy and self-mutilation. Moreover, they are
killed by methods such as gassing with carbon, dislocation of the neck and
bleeding.
Of course, there are many people who argue that they have to protect themselves
from cold or they want to be fashionable.
But in my
opinion on the matter is that this business should be banned and countries
should be stricter with all the people involved in the chain, from hunters to
consumers.
To sum up,
true beauty cannot be achieved through suffering of others.
