The Reasons Why Animals Started Becoming The Endangered

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)

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.

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

Wear two ways: underneath your usual socks or by themselves. Feet remain toasty warm during frigid weather conditions. Also, 35 Below socks are super-soft and lightweight.

The Chippewa Men’s 9” Waterproof Steel-Toe Super Logger Boot is a mouthful to say, but so are the features involved in the construction of this super boot. A synthetic slip-resistant sole is meant for traction on unstable terrain where safety is of the utmost importance. Waterproofing on the boot and the bootie keep your feet warm and dry in the wet weather, and snow. Also, a triple ribbed steel shank along with speed hooks for easy lace up provides steady support. Furthermore, these steel toe boots will protect your feet from impact and injury.

Do you feel like you just stepped into the 60’s? Probably so, fur coats were at the height of their popularity then and if you were seen wearing one you were thought of as wealthy to be able to afford this luxurious item. Come 2018, that’s not the case. Instead of a fur coat, everyone in the fashion world is gravitating towards the faux fur coat for obvious reasons. Not only are there no animals skinned to make your coat but also, the price is significantly lower. Big name designers such as Gucci and Michael Kors have stopped the use of real fur in their clothing items and it is expected that other designers will follow their lead. In the 1960’s fur coats were seen typically without

Prior to the final result of a product made out of animal fur there is a cruel process that is involved in order to create the product. Animals frequently suffer harsh cruelty and many result in death as a result of fur farms. Over eighty-five percent of animals used to make fur products come from fur factory farms in Europe, North America, Argentina, China, and Russia (“Inside the Fur Industry: Factory Farms” 1). Animals such as minks and foxes who are among the most popular to use for fur are often put into small cages that are not substantial for them to live in as well as have to face disease, stress, fear and other hardships (“Inside the Fur Industry: Factory Farms” 1). Animals are left to deal with such harsh and inhumane conditions because of unfair conditions that they are left to live their

Animals that are housed on fur farms live in unbearably small cages, living with stress, disease, parasitic infections, fear, mental hardship and other physical deformities. Many methods of killing are used on fur farms; electrocution, neck-breaking, gassing, and even live-skinning are few of the most popular methods. The methods used in fur factory farms are designed to maximize profits, at the expense of the animals well-being. PETA, People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals, continues to work with designers and clothing retailers to encourage them to promote the lived-realities of animals on fur factory farming. PETA uses controversial tactics in many of their images to promote their extreme stances. These stances are typically seen as not being true since they are coming from a company that misleads their audience by use of graphic images, and offending phrases to grab a viewer’s attention by any means necessary. Although a great deal of people disagree with claims made by PETA because they tend to exaggerate their claims, this image mirrors the lived reality that animals typically face in fur

Chapter two start off with a story about rhinoceros and the reason behind why black rhinos became an endangered species. Some examples used in the book show that if a material object draws in a profit, it is okay, but when they no longer have purpose, then they become expendable. Author Wheelan illustrates that this has nothing to do with compassion but everything to do with maximizing the profit of that limited resource. He emphasizes the concept that almost all things in life boil down to economics. Incentives are the best influences that motivate individuals.

Since the beginning of life itself, some species have lived and prospered while other species have gone extinct never to be seen again by mankind. Because of this, some would claim that extinction is natural and not significantly problematic to the world that we live in. Others, however, understand that due to climate change, habitat loss, and poaching, more and more species are becoming endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.

Author of the article, “I’d rather wear fur than go naked”, Brendan O’Neill argues that people are uncomfortable with being on top of the food chain and that as humans we shouldn't care if animals have feelings or not. He states, "Fur - where we take animal's coat and make it our own - is just too explicit an expression of man's control over nature for some people to handle.". He also argues that people are hypocrites because people are okay with animals as food, pets and leather boots but not okay with wearing their fur. The intended audience of this article is people that lie in the middle of being against animal cruelty, such as PETA, and people that are pro hunting, a killing sport. O’Neill use of emotional appeal, particularly irony and sarcasm, in convincing his audience of

2.4 billion litres of water is also being consumed by fox and mink farms alone which is about the same as the annual needs of nearly 3 million humans. Another thing is that there are also environmental issues after the animals die. Around 50 million carcasses of foxes and minks are being disposed every year and be it by incineration which produces airborne toxics, burial which causes toxic breakdown or rendering which has high energy production, no matter how are the dead bodies being disposed, it still causes harm to the Earth and environment. Furthermore, with the design of these fur factories, just one animal being sick may cause viral and bacterial to spread to the other animals or even to the workers at the factories which may in turn spread it to even more people. As you can see, just the desire and want of the general public for the these products can cause so much trouble and damage to the environment and the Earth. Just to look good or to look fashionable, do you think that it is ethical cause such harm to the environment? Do you still think that buying these products should be condoned?

    Nevertheless , People use animal parts for many things such as big cat fur for coats or fashion. They use elephant tusks because it’s made from ivory to make jewelry and in some Chinese culture they use it as medicine(“Rescuing Africa's Elephants.” pg 6). You would think that because they are many acts such as The Endangered Species Act that people who follow the rules and not hunt these beautiful species, but some people have to do it to feed their families sometimes. Rhino horn was reported to be selling for $65,000 per 2.2 pounds in 2012, making it more expensive by weight than gold, diamonds or cocaine.  These goods would help feed families and

Many people who wear fur are not aware with the sad reality behind its production. Fur is associated with glamor and wealth. However, the truth is entirely different. Annually, millions of animals are brutally killed for their skin in the name of fashion. Coats, accessories, hats, scarves, and other fancy items are made from these innocent beings. They live their entire life in tiny cages, often with diseases, and at the end – beaten, skinned alive and thrown onto a pile. It may sound terrifying, but this practice happens on a daily basis. Before buying fur, people should be well-informed that their trendy items come from cruel, needless, and bad for the environment industry.

Violence against nature appears in various forms affecting different sectors of life. All kinds of hunting methods for recreation, food, fur, musk or any other reason have been the big threat to ecology. It is also known as exploitation of the rare species for commercialization purpose. The land of Nagas were once counted as the meeting place of wild animals and the riches forest but these days wild animals are no more, the dark green foliage is deceptive. It hides an unpalatable truth. The animals that once survived are on the endangered list. Once Nagaland was so rich in flora and fauna but now it is on the verge of extinct. The reason for the extensions of the wild plants and animals is people as they are greedy to get easily rich at the expenses of those beautiful and precious creatures .
