Celebrities, please stop wearing all fur


Celebrities, please stop wearing all fur
The Issue
Fur is ugly. Not only that, animals are tortured so you can wear it. Ducks and chickens have feathers ripped out of them while still alive; sheep and lambs have their bodies slit and cut while getting sheared; alligators are cut then hung upside down to bleed out; minks and chinchillas are held in tiny cages until it is their turn to die, same with foxes and rabbits. These animals are away from family, natural habitat, natural food, if any food is given at all, natural light, they do not have enough space to lie down or stretch out, and when it finally comes time for them to die it is not a quick death. Minks are gased; foxes are electrocuted; other animals face this or worse ways to die.
If the animal does not die during this, no one cares to make sure they are dead before they start skinning the animal. They are tortured when it comes to us getting what they have, their skin. Their. Skin. You are wearing skin. Think about Silence of the Lambs here.
I am asking that influential celebrities, like Jay Z, Beyonce, and the Kardashian family, stop wearing all fur. People look up to you for fashion advice and you saying you will not support these cruel, inhumane tactics will make an impression on people. You could even start wearing faux fur, and maybe more people and companies will make the same change so we can start saving some of these animals and not torture them.
You wouldn't wear your baby's skin, so don't wear something else's baby.
