Essay about Stop Killing for Fur Coats

“Hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.”-Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt’s quote is saying like racing, hunting requires safety. Before the hunt can ever happen there are safety precautions that must be learned. Hunting safety is essential to protect not only the hunter but also the community. People fall victim to hunting accidents every year due to not practicing proper firearm or hunting blind safety.

In every laboratory, any new product or ingredient is usually tested on animals like rats, guinea pigs, dogs, or rabbits. The questionable substance according to some scientists may apply to a small area of the animal’s skin to determine primary irritation. However, we should also know that this is already too much for the animals. We may need them for food and research but we should also care for their welfare. Animals should be treated humanely, even though most people are unlikely to give up eating meat or wearing goods made from leather and wool. We, humans are given the capability to think superior than any other living creatures, that’s why we have the power to think another way to stop these exploitations. For example in fashion, designers should stop using fur and use fibers instead to make fake fur. The best part is, it can look almost identical to real

In America, deer are an animal hunted widely throughout our country. Each winter citizens have mixed emotions about the sport. Some say its barbaric and cruel, while others argue that it’s beneficial and useful. Although people may say hunting is cruel and barbaric, have they ever thought about the upsides to be gained from hunting? While this is a topic that can be argued viciously back and forth, I believe hunters win the argument. Deer hunting keeps the population down, protects farmers’ crops, boosts economic sales, betters a person’s mental health, and teaches lifelong lessons on respect. These are just a few of the amazing benefits that can be gained from hunting.

Anybody feel like voluntarily waking up at the crack of dawn just to sit in the middle of the woods in a blind and probably see nothing for hours on end? Wait, what if I add that it’ll be in the middle of winter so the temperature will not only be freezing, but you’ll also have a frost bite approved wind slapping at your face? No takers? I figured that would be the response. You’d be surprised though, because when I was around five or six years old freezing temperatures and being stranded in the woods sounded like paradise, especially with my best friend, my Dad, was right there with me.

Hunting is the practice of pursuing wildlife in order to kill it. Individuals who hunt do so for a variety of reasons while wildlife activists oppose hunters’ views and practices. Many people in rural areas of the United States hunt in order to harvest lean, organic, healthy meat for personal consumption. Some individuals hunt because it is tradition and a significant part of their heritage. Others choose to hunt as a means to escape the ins and outs of a chaotic society while taking in the serenity of the great outdoors in a therapeutic manner. Some hunters enjoy hunting for the thrill and the challenge of the chase. Other reasons people hunt include trophy hunting, travel to exotic locations, spending quality time with family and friends, and wildlife conservation. Individuals who are against hunting typically argue that hunting is inhumane and is considered cruelty to animals. Due to the benefits of properly managed ethical hunting, hunting should be legal within the United States.

Background: I was talking to my friend Jess. We were talking about the weather. I was saying it was too hot and she agreed with me. Jess then asked “Do you feel bad for the animals since they have fur and it makes it harder for them to cool down?”

Animals are much more complex and innovative that should be given more credit than it should be. Now learned about the animal feelings exist, human could be too cruel in using their survivor coat, fur, for expensive souvenirs or fashion runway. The Born Free USA organization expounds in 50 million violently killed animals for fashion every year. Fur is believed to get from meat production, but ¨fur comes from animals who are factory-farmed or trapped purely for fashion.¨ Animal furs are obtained through gassing, electrocution, or neck breaking in traps. Imagined a full house of fully coated species trap in a cramp factory house, the animal of intelligence are thought to be under humane treatment, but the fashion factories say differently. Rifkin support of animal is simply a moral principle that every human should have instead of thinking as a superior intelligent

Every 60 seconds an animal is abused. Dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of animals are being neglected and tortured everyday, yet resulting in few and minor consequences for the perpetrators. Animal abuse is prevalent in the United States and has been an ongoing issue since the 1970's, and prior to. Society as a whole has chosen to avoid the facts and arguments about animal cruelty, because to some it is seen as acceptable and typical. It becomes much more frowned upon when people actually see the results of the cruelty, especially in the media.

Because of the fact that fur sheared from a dead animal will rot, manufacturers fight off decay through the application of a slew of chemicals that are designed to prevent decomposition. The main processing chemicals used are formaldehyde and chromium which are both linked to cancers, such as leukemia. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, in the United States, has “previously fined six fur processing plants for causing high levels of pollution and for using solvents in fur dressing that “may cause respiratory problems…” (Hoskins, Tansy. "Is the Fur Trade Sustainable?" The Guardian. Guardian News and Media, 29 Oct. 2013. Web. 20 Mar. 2016.). Even more unacceptable is the fact that fur production is unregulated. This leads to the incorrect labeling of fur clothing which essentially leaves consumers ignorant about the severe chemicals that are exposed. This horrid fashion statement not only threatens animals, even those that existed in tremendous numbers, with extinction, but also threatens consumers with respiratory issues and cancer. Essentially, both humans and animals encounter ultimate death as it has been found that fur clothing contains carcinogens, which is any substance that is directly involved in causing cancer. Altogether, it is more than apparent that the hazardous fur trade causes a greater amount of harm than good.

IF YOU REALLY want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is why I love to hunt so much. To me, hunting season is probably the best time of the year. The weather is wonderful, not too hot and not too cold. It's basically a tradition to go to hunting camp every year. It's probably what I look forward to the most in the fall. When I go I am normally there with my dad, my uncle, a family friend named Kevin, and his dad named Archy. I go to hunting camp on the opening weekend of hunting season. The first day my dad and I set up everything at our blinds, and then head back to the camp. We spend the rest of the night hanging around with all the guys. It's super fun, we play games like 500 rummy and cribbage while watching whatever football games are

Why is it that we as a society condemn the actions of a man against a man but very rarely a man against an animal? I think this question must be understood if we are ever to change the rights animals have. As of yet I don't believe animals have any actual rights. Rather humans have rights that involve animals. If we are to truly allow animals to have rights the same or similar to humans then we must first define what it is that makes us feel as if they are entitled to rights.

For many centuries clothing was used namely as a form of symbolising one’s ascribed class and social honour. A good example of this was evident in Feudal European times when sumptuary laws were created in order to regulate and specify

For the past 20 years, there has a been an on going heated debate on whether experiments on animals for the benefit of medical and scientific research is ethical. Whether it is or isn't, most people believe that some form of cost-benefit test should be performed to determine if the action is right. The costs include: animal pain, distress and death where the benefits include the collection of new knowledge or the development of new medical therapies for humans. Looking into these different aspects of the experimentation, there is a large gap for argument between the different scientists' views. In the next few paragraphs, both sides of the argument will be expressed by the supporters.

Some countries have already banned hunting. These include Botswana and Costa Rica. Still, two out of 196 countries is not enough to help save animals. Banning hunting is an activity that needs to occur all over the world. Hunting should be made illegal worldwide due to the negative influence it impacts on children, its use as a sport and hobby, and the extinction of species it causes.

Non-human animals are given rights only because of their interactions with human beings. Without involvement with humans, animals do not deserve rights. It is through this interaction with humans that animals are even given moral consideration. We do not give rights to a rock simply because it is a creation of Mother Nature, similarly non-human animals do not have rights unless it is in regards to humans. As pointed out by Jan Narveson "morality is a sort of agreement among rational, independent, self-interested persons who have something to gain from entering into such an agreement" (192). In order to have the ability to obtain rights one must be consciously able to enter into an agreement, non-human animals are
