Fashion-conscious and compassionate people wouldn't be caught dead
in fur these days. Over the years, PETA has received thousands of
coats—made from every animal under the sun, from exotic leopards
to opossums, and even a coat made of minks' paws and another one from
monkey fur. They all come from people who have been sickened by exposés
of cruelty to animals caught in leghold traps and driven mad in tiny
fur farm cages or decided they don't want to suffer the humiliation
of being confronted, yet again, by someone haranguing them for their
insensitivity. PETA uses the donated furs in library displays, anti-fur
fashion shows, street theater, and other educational events designed
to convince consumers that animals should never be fashion victims.
We have given some furs a proper burial and cremated others. We even
give furs to the homeless and use them as animal bedding for orphaned
wildlife. |
