Fur For Fashion Is on Its Last Legs

Two more big name fashion labels have joined an animal welfare commitment to going fur free. Yves Saint Laurent & Brioni brands have pledged that their fall 2022 line and all future lines will be fur free moving forward, signaling a continued downward spiral for the use of fur in the fashion industry. Both brands will join others such as Oscar De La Renta, Canada Goose, and Saks Fifth Avenue who have also ended their use of fur for fashion.

Fur has long kept the industry going for been viewed as a luxury product. This perception of fur has kept an industry alive that has been exploiting and torturing animals for decades for nothing more than novelty items. However, the industry is coming to the realization (finally) that our society has changed their views on fur and that they must adapt to this changing mentality regarding fur and fur products.

You see, fur is one of the biggest exploitative industries when it comes to animal welfare because these animals are not utilized in any other way. They are kept crammed in cages from the minute they are born, often having a plethora of issues that could include lack of veterinary care, poor access to clean food and water, untreated sores and illnesses, and living amongst their own bile. These animals are skinned and their bodies are discarded like trash, all so we can have fur trimmed coats or accessories.

What we're seeing though is a continued shift in the use of fur. More and more of these recognized fashion brands are committing to fur free designs and pledging to end their use of fur in the near future. We also discovered how susceptible the industry was to being taken down with the coronavirus and the various outbreaks that happened on mink fur farms across our planet. Tens of millions of mink were euthanized in order to protect humans from the spread of the coronavirus which was not only a giant loss of life, but also profits.

The industry is dying and the cracks are starting to become prominent. Fur is disgusting, unnecessary, and no longer viewed as a luxury. Our planet will be better off when this industry disappears and we're on track to see this come to fruition!
