RABBITS KILLED FOR THEIR FUR
@weanimals | Jo-Anne McArthur
Rabbits died in agony for this ugly piece that some ignorantly call “fashionable, cheque, and elegant clothing.” In reality, however, this coat is not white, but dyed red from the blood of its victims.
If we could just feel their fear and hear their screams of those confined, tortured, and skinned alive. When their delicate, white, soft fur is pulled from their bodies while they are still alive or stunned to do this infernal torture to them.
For the production of a small jacket (a fur jacket for children; shown in the photo), about 30 rabbit skins are needed. 30 lives brutally taken for an ugly, useless and violent piece of “clothing.”
Approximately 320 million rabbits are bred in the European Union alone. As you can imagine, dark numbers are much higher. Most of them are bred for meat, fur, and animal testing in laboratories.
What they have to endure goes beyond any imagination.
Rabbits that are killed for their fur are about six months old. With good care and healthy genes, they can have a life of 15 years. Females are kept longer for breeding, but their babies will be killed as soon as they reach the six months’ mark.
The rabbits arrive at the slaughterhouse in tight wire cages stacked on trucks. They are usually still wriggling and thrashing about wildly after being hit on the head with the back of a knife, hung upside down, and having their throats slit. They are not checked for signs of life before being skinned and are still alive when the skin is torn from their bodies.
It is inconceivable that a human child should wear the flayed and processed skin of baby rabbits. It is inconceivable that anybody would and could consciously support this vile industry! No decent human being with the slightest bit of compassion and sense of justice would let this happen to these innocent gentle sweet individuals.
Go vegan and stop supporting the animal industry in all its violence and injustice! It is the least we can do! It is what we have to do!
