Persuasive Essay On Fur Farming

Improved Essays
Behind every beautiful fur coat, there is a story with extreme pain. No matter where these innocent animals came from, fur farming took away their lives and caused them tremendous suffering. The fur farming industry is horrifyingly cruel where animals endure horrific and completely unjustified torture. Animals are beaten, suffocated, poisoned, strangled, electrocuted, or gassed fully conscious for their fur. Those are the cheapest methods available for fur farmers to use. Most survive after being skinned alive just suffering in agony until they can no longer hang on to life.

A poison called strychnine is used sometimes, which suffocates them by paralyzing their muscles with painful, rigid cramps. They also break their necks by stomping on them, or stand on their necks until they pass out. Some animals even wake up while they are being skinned.

People wear these fur coats or other necessities not having any knowledge or concern for these animals. There are a lot of products people do not even know use real fur. Designer brands Bebe and Michael Kors continue to import fur from China because of the profit they are making from these products. Other designer brands including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Stella McCartney have all decided to stop buying China's fur and have all their products 100 percent fur-free. There is no need to be cruel to animals just to look cute or stay warm for the winter. Products that are animal-friendly are sold in stores and should be more encouraged to buy than actual animal fur. Fur farming can be put to an end if more people refuse to buy any products made with fur. In my opinion, if more people were aware of how animals are treated at fur farms fewer people would buy those

    People today, daily, head to the store to go pick up that can of hairspray, the tube of mascara, and a new bottle of perfume that they want. They’re mindless to the thought of the process on how it was placed on the shelves of the store. They’re mindless to the thought that it had been tested on animals before it got into the hands of consumers. They’re mindless to the thought that those animals being tested on live stressful, monotonous, and unnatural lives of daily confinement and deprivation.

I see helpless, innocent animals, locked in cages, being victims to the testing of the corrosive, toxic chemicals that are used to make beauty products.

    We live on a beautiful and life giving planet that we don’t want to see being destroyed but still it seems that we carry out extreme and illogical activities that counter that presumption.
