Connecticut is set to become the second United States state to enact a full ban on fur but they need the help of residents to make sure this bill makes it through the legislature. Advocacy group In Defense of Animals is asking Connecticut residents to call, write, or email their local state senators and express their support of a statewide ban on the production, trade, and sale of new furs. As we all know, the fur industry is one of the cruelest and most unnecessary of the industries that we utilize animals for. Animals like foxes, minks, coyotes, and rabbits are denied all of their wild, natural instincts as they sit in cramped cages awaiting their turn to be slaughtered. These poor animals live amongst feces and urine, suffer from sores and infections that are often left untreated, and live their entire lives in fear as they witness the brutal deaths of their companions. To keep the pelts in tip top shape, these poor animals are electrocuted to death, killing them from the inside out which we can only imagine is excruciating to endure but also to witness. In some cases, these animals are bludgeoned or skinned alive, neither of which would be a pleasant experience for these poor animals.
If you are a resident of Connecticut and want to help, follow the link at the top of this page to the World Animal News page where they outline the various ways you can get in touch with your local senator and express your support for a full ban on fur products. California was the first state to enact a ban and now we have the opportunity to see Connecticut as the second which would hopefully trigger other states to consider a ban as well.
It's time to end the fur industry once and for all and spare the hundreds of thousands of innocent animals from being slaughtered in the worst of ways. The future is fur free and we're on the way! HAPPY VEG
