Now I am only going to bring this up once this once on my fashion blog to avoid being labelled a tree-hugger. CRUELTY IS ONE FASHION STATEMENT WE CAN DO WITHOUT!
I am a lover of animals and most of my spare time is spent rescuing and rehabilitating stray animals from the pounds. Seeing how much they suffer in the pounds and THEN how much love they offer once they are out has made me TOTALLY against fur for fashion.
Kim Kardashian really needs to take note. She is loosing her popularity and hence her money making ability when she sports a different piece of fur almost EVERY DAY! Over winter I became very annoyed at her and although I do not believe in pushing my opinions onto others I subconsciously stopped watching her shows or paying attention to anything she was doing. I dont think I was the only one.
According to http://furcruelty.com/ 50 million adorable fluffy animals are killed each year for fur. During their short life they endure much suffering (please go to website for detailed insight into the life of an animal in a fur farm).
Below is a list of how many souls are lost to create one fur coat (depending on which animal is used)
Beavers 9-15
Bobcat 16-22
Cat 20-30
Chinchilla 30-200
Coyote 12-16
Dog 15-20
Fox 10-20
Lynx 8-12
Marten 50-60
Mink 30-70
Muskrat 25-35
Nutria 26-34
Otter 10-16
Polecat 45-55
Rabbit 30-40
Raccoon 30-40
Sable 60-70
Seal 6-10
So please stop buying fur. Trust me for every person that tells you that you look amazing there are hundreds that think you look like a murderer. Thats all...
Celebrities who wear fur. Are you really telling me that you cant re-create this look with faux fur?
Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Ciara, Victoria Beckham etc wearing animals.
