Major brands designers are flocking to China to take advantage of
the zippy, skilled and cheap labour as well as a major loophole in animal
welfare laws. (China has no animal rights laws in place at this point - and abusing an animal is thus technically not against the law)
China has now become the world’s largest fur producer and exporter.
Chinese entrepreneurs have set up so-called “fur farms†and have managed to
obtain remarkable results, as demand for fur has increased significantly almost
every year.
Most of readers do not know the dark secrets that are hide behind
closed doors. Undercover investigators from organizations such as PETA or the
Humane Society have managed to cast a light into the inhumane activities that
are taking place in such facilities.
Animals are exclusively bred for their fur and are regarded solely
as disposable objects; workers couldn’t care less about them. They are forced
to spend all their lives in misery – crammed in small, dark, tiny cages, with
almost no room to move; food and water are luxury items. When the time is
right, the animals are put down in the most inhumane ways; for instance, some are
hit with metal bars until they perish, others are electrocuted, stomped
repeatedly or just have their skin ripped off of them while still conscious.
Foxes, minks or rabbits are normally used in the business, but now
suppliers have diversified and are also
using stray dogs or stolen pets for their skin, taking advantage of the
abundance of canines (regarded only as “raw materialsâ€) on the market.
This is the shocking truth behind the fur industry. Many companies
have set up intermediary firms in order to cover up their tracks and never
appear that they have been dealing with China, but everyone in the business
knows who the suppliers are. Fur is then turned into high-end fashion garments
and exported into Western countries, only to be sold to ignorant, self-centred
customers – usually at ridiculously high prices.
One of the most with the most activity in the fur industry has to be
French-based Louis Vuitton. It is just appalling and heartbreaking what this
fashion brand can sell on its website – you can find luxurious pelts, pricey
and ugly shoes, purses or caps, all made out of fur!
Those animals passed away in terrible conditions for this!!!
Urge Louis Vuitton to stop this inhumanity and become a responsible
company and go cruelty-free. No animal deserves to subjected to such
treatments, under any circumstances. It is our strong belief that the company
would never lose market share by denouncing fur, on the contrary, it would gain
the respect of every compassionate and kind person in this world.
Louis Vuitton, save the dogs and other animals in China. Stop
skinning them alive for your fancy producs!
Take action now to send a strong message to the greedy executives at
Louis Vuitton and ask them to ditch all types of fur from their collections.
