Peta definitely aren’t doing their job. Throwing paint on people’s fur coats is just going to anger them and get them to spite Peta by wearing even more fur coats.

I get the feeling that many people who don’t care about the fur issue are people that have NO IDEA what actually goes on in the fur industry. If you just had to watch 5 seconds of the barbarism of it, I can promise you that you would NEVER wear fur. If people don’t stop buying fur coats more and more animals will suffer each day as we speak in the name of vanity and profit.
TO THOSE WHO ARE UNIFORMED ABOUT THE REALITY AND SAY IT’S ALL PROPAGANDA, HERE ARE A FEW FACTS:

Most of the fur in the West gets imported from China where labour is cheap. Now this is where the problem lies.

1.) China has no animal welfare laws whatsoever.
2.) Among animals such as foxes, raccoons and mink, they also skin dogs and cats alive. Yes, you heard me right. They skin them alive! You may think it’s an urban legend, but it is completely true. Just Google ‘chinese fur trade’ and you’ll see for yourself.
3.) The dog and cat fur is marketed to the West as faux fur/rabbit fur/fur with exotic sounding names. Dog/cat fur is easy to dye different colors to resemble other fur.
You might be wearing a coat that contains dog fur and not even be aware of it.
4.) The barbaric Chinese fur industry is going strong as we speak and it won’t stop until people STOP BUYING FUR.
6.) China skins up to 2 million dogs and cats every year.
7.)China is the biggest exporter of fur globally.
8.) Because of this the European Union has voted to ban the import of dog/cat fur from China in 2009.

And if you still don’t believe me, just watch this footage:

And another thing, the above video is not an isolated case and is not Peta propaganda. For more viewing material you can buy the dvd called EARTHLINGS.

The reason why these animals don’t get killed humanely by shooting it in the head/slitting its throat is because it would ruin the fur and therefore the pelts would fetch a much lower price. The reason why they don’t humanely give them a lethal injection is because the costs of doing this to so many animals would be too expensive. Remember that it takes up to 65 minks to make one fur coat.
SO PLEASE PEOPLE! I BEG YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THIS SUBJECT. BESIDES: ‘ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS FOR GOOD MEN (AND WOMEN) TO DO NOTHING.’

cas, actually, one of PETA’s goals is to outlaw the owning of pets, period. Dogs, cats, even fish.

~Larissa, apparently you’ve never seen mink mate. They’re about as close to extinction as the cockroach is. Most animals used to make fur coats are forms of rodents, and are prolific breeders if you’re unaware.

I hate PETA. Can’t stand the hypocrisy, the apathy, the need for publicity. Did I also mention that, as a grandchild of holocaust survivors, I hate them for making light of it in order to save a few chickens.

What exactly do you think this is? A competition to see who cares more about cruelty to animals? Support PETA’s methods if that’s what you want to do. Your business. I’m standing firm in the ‘terrorist tactics are NEVER acceptable’ corner and that’s where I’ll be staying.

So it is preferable for an animal to killed for 1 wear only???

Try focusing on doing more by offering to purchase desperatey needed equiptment and supplying the manpower to cities that are overrun with endless cases of cruelty, or doing away with puppy mills, and actively patrolling the streets looking for and providing aid to animals that are suffering through starvation, being chained and left with no food or water or just to die alone, cruelly.

It seems that if PETA was truly concerned with the treatment of animals, they should concentrate on spending less time in the limelight and adopt a more active approach to eradicating animal cruelty and maybe concentrate their efforts along with the animals cops that do more for these poor creatures with less desire for the ‘atta-boys’ PETA seems to always angle for.

If you practiced half of what you try and preach, I believe through combined efforts you might actually save more animals in trouble than the time it takes you to threaten celebrities from your air conditioned offices. Lets hear less of what you believe and more of putting it into action out on the streets.
