Cats and Dogs for Fur

[ Back To Grrls Articles ]

A Mori poll commissioned by the RSPCA indicates that 74 per cent of British people support a ban on fur farming, and 86 per cent oppose the wearing of fur. Information Taken from the PETA site and other sources:

On December 15, Dateline did an in-depth report on the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) investigation into the slaughter of cats and dogs in Asia to provide fur garments to the United States and Europe.

The investigation showed dogs living in filthy conditions and being skinned alive for their fur. Frightened cats were shown huddled together in an overcrowded crate before they were killed by being hung with a wire noose. Please take a moment today to contact Dateline and thank them for exposing the miserable conditions and barbaric deaths domestic dogs and cats endure for their fur.

Bad Karma Merchants - Dolce & Gabbana trimmed evening coats in mink and fox.Boycott their stuff, diffusion lines, 2nd hand, cosmetics, everything. Show your concern with your wallet. thats what these guys take the most notice of. The big old dollar pound sign. OK So you might think what does the 40$£ I'm spending on a diffusion item make any difference ? Well yeah. Its called your conscience. Do you REALLY want to be associated with something like this ?
