Stop using real fur in costuming


Stop using real fur in costuming
The Issue
The use of real fur is completely unnecessary and promotes the cruel fur industry. Fur-bearing animals are killed by gassing, neck breaking, anal electrocution, clubbing, trapping and injection with poisons so as not to damage their pelts. These animals live horrendous existences when they are "ranch-raised" on a "fur farm", or are brutally killed in the hands of trappers. On ranches, they spend their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages and suffer tremendously, many become deranged until they meet with brutal deaths. The U.S. produces about 10% of the cage-raised fur in the world; 60 to 75% of the fur in coats sold in the U.S. comes from cage-raised animals, and 90% of cage-raised foxes are used in fur-trim. Hopefully, if enough people respectfully ask the producers of Game Of Thrones to STOP using real fur, they will listen!
