FUR IS VIOLENCE, FUR IS MURDER

Fur farms are on top of the cruelest betrayal of animals that humans have ever created.
Every year, more than 100,000,000 animals are killed for fur, having lived in horrible conditions, and are released from their cruel fate by death (often minutes to hours after being skinned alive!) until the same fate awaits the next generation.
Rabbits, foxes, minks, chinchillas, badgers, dogs, cats, and other species fall victim to fur production.
People who pay for the fur of other animals and wear it as a jacket, hat, or accessory are the indicators of why this cruel business still exists. Companies and manufacturers are happy to cover for this ignorant and completely apathetic demand and promote it as normal, necessary, and natural (when it’s anything else but that) to make money from the suffering of others.
Fur causes its endless victims inconceivable pain, suffering and ALWAYS leads to murder. Animals are crammed into tiny structureless cages where they vegetate for months waiting for their cruel death by repeatedly bludgeoning them in the head and face with a metal rod, breaking their necks, electrocuting them with a steel rod through their rectum, and pulling off their skin while most of them are still fully conscious. After the skinning, their bodies are dumped like trash leaving them to die slowly.
Other fur-bearing animals are caught with metal traps. They do not die in the process but are only severely injured. Once caught, they must linger in horrible positions for days until they are finally killed. In whatever way the fur was “produced,” there is always immeasurable pain and torture involved.
If this doesn’t make you sick to your stomach and instantly go against this horrific industry with all you can and all you are and stand for, honestly...there’s something truly and seriously wrong with you!
------
Commercial trapping for fur production was banned in Austria in 1995. At the end of November 1998, the last fur farm in Austria had to close. Although the production of fur is banned the import and sale of fur are still allowed.
