Justice for Animals in the Fur Trade
There is no doubt that the fur industry causes unspeakable suffering of animals that are either rasied on fur farms or caught in the wild.
As we appraoch the fur season, it is neccessary to speak out for these animals and to educate, inspire and change the minds of those who wear the skins of animals that wanted to live a safe and natural life.
We will be having a demo infront of Kahnerts Furs+ Outerware: A family owned business of over 50 years who profits off the bodies of innocent animals such as beavers, foxes, minks and coyotes.
Facts about the Fur Industry
-Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methodsavailable, including suffocation, electrocution, gas, and poison.
-More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and often skinned alive for their fur.
-Chinese fur is often deliberately mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, there’s no way of knowing for sure whose skin you’re in.
-Animals who are trapped in the wild can suffer for days from blood loss, shock, dehydration, frostbite, gangrene, and attacks by predators. They may be caught in steel-jaw traps that slam down on their legs, often cutting to the bone
