I can't think of anything I'd rather be reporting on than this y'all! London fashion week is making history this year as all of its contributors are going fur free for the very first time. What's especially promising is that none of the participants were coerced into doing so, they have decided on their own to not include fur in their designs for this year's fashion show. This is amazing news and marks a very important shift in the attitude towards fur and the needless torture and slaughter of the animals used for fur. Of the animals used for fur, there are some that are bred specifically for fur. Minks for example, are not used for anything other than fur. What this means is that there is no argument that the animals are wholly used, they are literally bred solely for their fur. As I've reported in the past, these poor animals live in absolute squalor. There are several of them crammed into every cage, living among their own feces and filth, emotionally and mentally stressed beyond comprehension, and often fattened up beyond their natural capabilities to produce more pelt. It's a sad and abhorrent existence for these animals. Besides mink, animals like foxes and coyotes are also subjected to unimaginable torture. Often times, coyotes are trapped which causes them immense stress, and they stay trapped until the moment that they are shot and killed. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about the fur industry and it's apparent that more and more people are realizing that not only is it unnecessary, it is despicable. Fur was once a sign of elegance and wealth, so to see one of the biggest fashion shows in the world have all of its participants avoiding fur, I couldn't be happier.
