Fox fur

Hello everyone! Last week I wrote about the American foxhound that is the most common dog that people trains to hunt foxes. But, today I’m going to write about the fox fur, all the things that people do with this and the controversy of it uses.
When the hunters kill a fox, they need to pick up the corpus and take it with them during the entire hunt and after this, they sell the fur and gain a lot of money. But, what happen with this fur? Well, some people use the fox fur to create clothes like coats or, sometimes, costumes. People buy this clothes because they said that is elegant, comfortable and pretty, but, in the other hand, the protectors of animal rights are against of this. One example of this in the case of Johnny Weir he is an skating champion, Weir wore a costume of fox fur during an olypistic  and because of that, people started to protest against his outfit. Also PETA started to send him, e-mails with videos of animals being skinned. After this, Winter has been forces to switch from real to fake fur.
In my opinion, I am against of using animal fur for clothes. I think that people don’t have the necessity to use this and it could prevent a lot of suffering of animals. I don’t understand the reason of killing an animal and make them suffer just because it’s going to make you “look better” when they can use fake fur and it is going to look almost the same. Sometimes, I think that a good way to stop this, is to make campaigns in which people show all the process that the animals have to pass to being skinned.

  1. I'm incredibly touched by your background picture. One thing is hearing about dead animals and another is watching images of them dead. Its a complete different perspective, like an awful taste of reality. I'm also against people who KILL animals, innocent animals and they use they fur for personal uses. Thats completely unacceptable. I also love this very beautiful creatures, the foxes, their fur its really astonishing, the colors are so warm and perfect, but I believe their fur would look even more pretty if it stays in the animal than in your own body. Ethic is an important role, to which point is it ethic to devalue the life of a flow and use it as a fashion accessory? A living animal is part of a natures cycle and its death should be natural. We cant deny that is also the natural flow that kills the wicked for surviving but we don't have part in this part.m I love your blog and I'm going to read it next week.
