The lives of several animals are in danger for different reasons. Very soon many of our most cherished animals will become extinct, and whose fault will that be? Although nature plays a huge role in the lives of several endangered species, we humans play are also responsible for them.
Many animals are murdered for various reasons, some reasonable and some completely inhumane. The reasons why people kill animals vary from the need for food, medicine, clothes, souvenirs and sometimes even fun.
5 Facts About Animals Being Killed For Fur:
Fur Fact 1= Eighty five percent of the fur industry's skins come from animals who were captive on fur factory farms, where they are crammed into severely crowded, filthy wire cages and later often skinned alive.
Fur Fact 2= There are no penalties for people who abuse animals on fur farms in China, which is the worlds largest fur exporter supplying more than half of the finished garments in the United States.
Fur Fact 3= After an animal has been slaughtered, his or her skin is treated with toxic chemicals to keep it from rotting and decomposing in the buyer's closet.
Fur Fact 4= Electrocuting fur-bearing animals anally and genitally is an agonizing slaughter method used frequently to limit damage to the fur. New York is the only American state in which this inhumane method is illegal.
Fur Fact 5= In China, more than two million cats and hundreds of thousands of dogs are bludgeoned (battered), hang, left to bleed to death and often skinned alive for their fur.
