The Importance Of Animals Used In Fashion

A growing share of the more than $60 billion people are spending on their pets is on pet fashion. Pretty much anything a human can wear, a pet can now wear. There are pet T-shirts, sweaters, footwear, parkas, holiday costumes and even sunglasses. Today’s pets are as stylish as ever.

During the 1800's, there was a noticeable spike in demand for animal fur's, pelt's, and hide's. Especially in distant countries such as Spain and England. People believed that wearing the fur's or having them around the house, such as rugs or throws was a sign of their wealth. Due to this sudden high demand, men began noticing they could generate a significant amount of money by opening businesses and selling the animal fur's, hide's, and pelt's as well as, other supplies for trapping and other jobs. In 1833, three business partners decided they wanted to take a chance and open a fur trading post as well. However, not only was this trading post for selling goods, it would also become headquarters for an Army unit. In an open area now known as La Junta, Colorado, the three business partners, brothers William and Charles Bent, and Ceran St. Vrain opened their first trading post, naming it Bent's Fort. Bent's fort quickly became a very popular and successful trading post in Colorado selling animal fur's and, other goods as well as, housing an Army unit.

Many animals are tortured and killed just for their skins in order to make materials such as leather. In some cases these animals such as pigs, -

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)

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

There are a plethora of news sites, organizations, and establishments, all within the American fur trade, that enjoy deceiving the general public with claims of a humane and safe fur trade. While these claims seem to hold credibility, they fall flat once challenged with heavy evidence of cruelty and peril. The fur trade should be outright banned from the United States as it excludes humane methods of euthanasia, utilizes wretched methods of confinement, and as it acts as an extreme health hazard. Trappers, farmers, retail stores, and any individual who accommodates this cruelty, fails to take into consideration the lives of millions of animals, as well as their own health.

The experimentation of animals has been used for a multitude of years for research to advance a scientific understanding of a living organism. To this day animals are being tested on for the use of human products. In 3D-printing human skin: The end of animal testing? by Jessica Mendoza, Speculative Philosophy, the Troubled Middle, and the Ethics of Animal Experimentation by Strachan Donnelley, “Animals and Medical Science: A Vision of a New Era” by David O. Wiebers, Cruelty-free cosmetics benefit consumers as well as animals by The Sydney Morning Herald, and Technological Alternatives Can End the Experimental Use of Animals by George Dvorsky, show how Animal experimentation is redundant and needs to be diminished because there are

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves. Not only is fashion the reflection of self-image but also the reflection of our history as Coco Channel have said, “Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion

Cruella De Vil isn’t the only person who wears fur. The killing of animals for their fur is a common day thing, and is not only a disgusting act, but also unnecessary and people who purchase it is rightfully represented by a villain in Disney’s “101 Dalmations.” Cruella De Vil isn’t the only villain in the world who is violently killing animals in order to make supposedly luscious full length fur coats. However, she did have enough puppies to make a full length coat. Typically it takes around 100 animals to make said item. To keep up with the demand for fur coats, around 2 million cats, along with hundreds of thousands of dogs are killed in China. The animals contained on fur farms live in monstrous conditions, all leading up to

Deer, elk skin, pig skin, lambs, horses, goats, and the famous alligators and crocodiles are just a few of the animals used for these products. Although, the animals are not alive when they are skinned down still does not make it okay. The animals are put to sleep in order for them to do this. Also, it probably wouldn’t work if they were alive because the animals would try to run. Believe it or not, cats and dogs are used for their skin in Asia for products that are sold to the United States (Is It True That Some). The clothing company Gucci announced they would stop selling fur products in 2018. This is huge news. All fur and leather products coming from animals fur and/or skin should be banned worldwide.

Our country is home to a handful of cosmetic and skin care companies, many of which have become a part of our society’s daily routine. What many of us users may not know about these products is how they have been tested to their perfection. A large amount of companies choose to use an outdated and cruel way of testing product’s safety for in order to ensure perfection. Animals aid testing by being an empty slate for these cosmetic companies to test and improve their products. However, with other testing options available, why do companies continue to use this cruel and inhumane way of using animals for our selfish benefits? The first year that Animal Testing started was 1922. Now, 94 years

When you think of the word fashion, what do you think? Do you think about outrageous runway outfits? Cocktail dresses? Tracksuits? Whatever your impression of fashion, it is obvious that fashion plays an important role in today's society. We are judged by our clothing and appearance on an everyday basis, so why not make the most of our choices?

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.

There are many aspects to the question of whether or not Fashion can heal. This report investigates the possibility of fashion as a creative therapy in it’s own right and proposes that fashion can aid in pain management, as well as improving wellbeing and mental health, and provides evidence to support this theory. It assesses the healing properties of textiles such as Ayurvastra, and sets out the research which supports the claims that such fabrics can heal much more than just topical skin conditions. It also evaluates the potential for fashion and clothing garments to assist in the treatment of for example psychomotor deficient children and dementia sufferers through the use of sensory and tactile therapy clothing.
