Fur, really need?

It’s one terribly cold winter with frozen fingers.
But isn’t it a good world to live in?
It’s not like the old times when we didn’t have enough resources, so we can fight through the cold if we wanted to.
So I’m about to talk about fur today.

One fur coat. This is the lives of 100 chinchillas.
One fur coat. This is the lives of 45 foxes.
One fur coat. This is the lives of 200 minks.

The most noted animals used for fur coats are minks and foxes.
Also, starting from luxuries such as martens also known as sables and cuticles that are made from the fetus of sheep to chinchillas, hamsters, raccoons, rabbits, dogs and cats that are raised at home, etc., there’re nearly 220 kinds of animals that are sacrificed in the fur business just for the satisfaction of people.

The animal liberty regiment goes out on street campaigns for the animals that are being sacrificed for fur every year. This year, it took place on the subway and in front of department stores where there is a huge crowd.

The fact that our attention can decrease the animals those are to be killed due to cruel acts,

decrease the people wearing fur by informing them with the reality of it-
it is the calling that we were given to establish a society that respects life.

Can you see the hot press?
Fur is no longer a necessity.
The alternative is to not wear nor buy fur!
