The Cruel And Inhumane Fur Industry

The primary purpose of this essay uses persuasive writing to get her point across. Informing the reader about the eco dangers of buying outsourced clothing material. Most people often want the cheaper alternative without going to the flea market or charity clothing banks. But all the clothes get worn down, shrink, fade or just deteriorate in the end because the fabric is unsustainable. Resulting in the t-shirts and jeans to be tossed away and put into a landfill. Where they have been found to transmite “more than three million tons of carbon dioxide emissions”. (Siegle, 7)

cows, horses and many more are skinned alive and left for dead to suffer a brutal execution (Dudley 17). Fur farms are at an even bigger fault in this clothing industry of horror. In many cases there are thousands of animals raised in a crammed cage and then are forced to relieve themselves directly where they stand developing many illnesses and infections (Whalow 2). Many of these animals do not even know what the ground feels like. Often some may die of starvation, infection or other illnesses and be left for dead in these cages for days (Kerven 14).

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

To bring awareness I am going to point out how important an animal’s life is just as important, they have feelings. They feel pain, fear, as well as abandonment. People think that because they have fur that they should be treated differently.Their lives are just as important as ours. Cruelty and neglect cross socio-economic boundaries, and media reports suggest that animal abuse is common in both rural and urban areas. (Humane society of the United States, 2016)

“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.” (César Chávez). Animal cruelty has been around for centuries, and it is not dying down. People are hoarding dogs, cats, and other animals. Rabbits are often tested with cosmetics (Calvin Klein, Chapstick, Clearasil, Dove, Marc Jacobs, etc.) and they become ill or infected with the products. Although the nineteenth century saw a significant transformation of society's attitude towards animals, the way animals were punished is similar to the present-day animal cruelty.

Fashion is everything to society and the media. The fashion industry has transformed into a necessity in the life of people. Everyone wants to look good, feel fabulous and feel as if we belong with everyone else. The envy and desire to wear certain things and look a certain way all come, from wearing the latest fashion handbags, accessories, dresses, shoes, and the list goes on. But, when is considering fashion into an individual’s life going too far to the extreme? Many do not consider the whereabouts of fashion materials and how the environment is affected by the mere existence of certain garments. Some may believe these objects grow on trees. But that is clearly not the case. Even though it would be nice. The fashion industry as a

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.

Humans have long used and hunted animals for food, weapons, and even clothing; but when did necessities turn into greed and fuel for consumerism? The purpose of this essay is to provide a brief history on the common use of animals and then delve into the current exploitation of animals and the problems that arise from it.

Animal rights are practically non-existent in many different ways today. Factory farming is probably the worst thing they can do to the poor helpless animals. Factory farming effects chickens, cows, pigs, and many other animals that are used for food, milk and eggs. One of the biggest organizations against factory farming is called Compassion Over Killing (COK). They go to great lengths to protest and inform people about animal cruelty.

One case of animal abuse in the U.S. food industry is the Central Valley Meat Co, located in Hanford, California. Employees at the Hanford Slaughterhouse were caught on video killing cows violently and inhumanely, neglecting to render cows unconscious before slaughter, and other forms of abuse. Many of the cows appeared to be sick and unable to walk as well. Under federal rules, sick animals can’t be slaughtered for human consumption. (Nidever)

Large companies such as L’Oréal, Colgate and Palmolive kill and torture animals so the society can buy their products.

For hundreds of years, animals have been used to trial cosmetic products before released to the public. The majority of these companies strive to conceal the idea of harming animals for their products, to avoid harm to their reputation or profit. Animals are forced to inhale substances, have chemicals forced into eyes, and are stored in containers with several other diseased animals. These cruel actions cause a large percentage of the population to campaign against these companies. Protests, boycotts and social media awareness are all methods used by activists to promote their cause and to strive for a greater future for animals. These animal liberators induce the government to create laws to prevent harm to animals through cosmetic testing.

Animal cruelty continues to plague the meat and dairy industry and a policy to reverse this is enacting stricter regulations on meat and dairy labels that explicitly state the additives and preservatives used on the product. Moreover, my policy will persuade people to purchase meat and dairy that is ethically raised and is not made with preservatives or additives, this is my value of health. Moreover, my policy is for those who eat meat and dairy and are unaware of the health side affects of consuming it and the animal cruelty that goes into producing a piece of meat or glass of milk, which encompasses my value of compassion. We are a compassionate species who turns the channel during an ASPCA commercial. We root for Nemo, Babe and Bambi yet we watch the movie whilst eating fish, pork or venison. The hypocrisy is unbelievable yet not talked about. Most Americans do not recognize this link between our compassion and the animals we eat and the hypocrisy that surrounds it. In this essay I address the compassion humans posses and how it is being wiped out through eating meat and dairy. I also address how we have the potential to rid the meat and dairy industry of the abuse. I will also discuss how meat and dairy is detrimental to our health.

Generations ahead of us only had a tiny wardrobe, where clothes were not washed every day. In our generation, fast fashion is in. It’s ok to have multiple shirts or shoes of the same color. It’s actually ok to throw away unwanted apparel. Apparel companies are beginning to focus on sustainable fashion, also known as eco fashion. Apparel, fashion, and textiles is the most polluting industry in the world. Every stage, that a garment goes through, uses up and threatens our resources.
