OUTLAW THE SALE OF FUR IN THE UNITED STATES

These animals are skinned alive, boiled alive, beaten, pounded to the ground or burned to death.

I am sure that if you knew what goes on behind the scenes in the fur industry, you would not want these cruel products to be a part of your collection in this wonderful country we call The United States Of America. I believe the children of this country have been led by bad examples involving this issue.



In China, more than 2 million cats and hundreds of thousands of dogs are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, boiled alive, and skinned alive for their fur. These dogs and cats live in tiny cages above the ground all their lives. They are separated from their mothers at an early age and some are slaughtered as pups; they do not feel what walking on the ground is like; they cannot mingle with other dogs other than those in cages beside them; they suffer summer heat and freezing winters outdoors; they are not given water; they have to eat the corpse of the dogs who did not make it; they get no exercise; they have been known to have their eardrums burst to prevent them from barking--every natural instinct they have is thwarted by the inhumane and tortuous conditions they must live under.



They are loaded into crates so cramped tight and stacked on top of one another that their bones break and when being transported they are thrown and slammed to the ground off of the the trucks resulting in injuries and sometimes death.



These dogs are skinned alive, boiled alive, beaten, pounded to the ground or burned to death. There is a perverted belief that the meat tastes better if dogs have high adrenaline levels in their meat before they die. Therefore, some dogs are made to experience extreme fear and suffering in the lead up to their deaths. Some are hanged and then a blow torch is used on them while they are still alive to remove their hair. Others still are simply beaten and tortured to death.

Eighty-five percent of the fur industry's skins come from animals who were captive on fur factory farms.



These animals are treated with such brutality and ferocity as you can see directly from this video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVsnHAf8NA0&feature=youtu.be

One-third of all fur sold in the U.S. comes from animals killed in steel-jaw traps. These traps slam shut on an animal's limb, which causes excruciating pain and leaves the animal stuck and starving, sometimes for days. Trapped animals often chew off their own limbs in their attempts to escape. The conibear trap crushes an animal's neck by applying 90 pounds of pressure per square inch, leaving the animal to suffer for another three to eight minutes while he or she slowly suffocates.



This video link will give you an example of how torturous it is for these animals to be trapped:

People assume that a scrap of fur on the collar is fake and I assure you that many would be appalled to learn that it is real. I trust that you cannot, in good consci
