Today, the fashion industry is pumping out thousands of fur coats for prospective buyers. The attempt of masking the true price of retrieving that fur by glamorizing coats is beyond most buyer’s attention. Some people know that animals go through pain when their fur is taken for the purpose of fashion, but most people do not understand the extent of the mutilation they go through. To be sure the fur is fresh and neat, certain animals are sometimes skinned alive. Fur farming is not only inhumane, but it also has a negative effect on nature.

The fact that animals are willing to chew of their body parts in order to escape means that the leg-hold trap must be painful towards the animals, which means it is an inhumane way of capturing an animal. Fur farming has been around for many years, but not always for the poor purpose of fashion.

Effecting the environment has been a common issue that seems to keep resurfacing all over the world. While raw animal fur pelts may be biodegradable, the fur industry conveniently neglects to mention the fact that all of the animal skins used to make fur go through a tanning process (‘Nothing Humane about Fur Farms”). Tanning is a process that uses environmentally damaging toxins such as formaldehydes and strong acids. These chemicals are a danger to the atmosphere, helping destroy the environment which is already being damaged by other human-made things such as carbon dioxide from cars or grime from nuclear plants.

Although the numbered treaties were intended to benefit both the Natives and the Canadian government, in many cases, the treaties were not as favourable or beneficial to the natives as they were to the state. The natives were forced to sign the treaties and even when the treaties were
