Save The Chinchillas!

Many chinnies have been captured and skinned just to make someone a coat. It takes at least 40 of them to make a single one! This needs to stop!!

We the undersigned,
would like it if you could somehow in any way help us help the chinchillas. We understand there aren't any wild chinchillas in Iowa, but there are still poachers buying and killing them for a profit. We think it's wrong and needs to be put to an end. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider this.

How would you like if some species bigger than us grabbed us by our legs, and broke our necks, or attached a electrical cord that was dipped in water and plugged us in just so they could take our skin and make it into clothing? i don't think anyone would like that very much. I don't care if there little and you have no compassion. Killing these animals for their fur is cruel and it should be stopped. what's next chopping the snouts off pigs to make jock straps? its idotic, and stupid

Incredibly, the trailer park I live in has had several sightings of a 'wild' chinchilla - I couldn't imagine any one wanting to kill thses little creatures, but, then I am a vegetarian & have trouble with the way humans (ab)use others that inhabit their world.

I just would like to know how would the people who kill these animals to make coats would feel if somebody skinned them alive to make a hat or a coat.

Killing a chinchilla is just plain stupid. They never hurt anyone.

What do you get when you put a fur coat on an ugly woman? You get an ugly woman in a fur coat. Are women so ugly that they think the only way to beauty is through skinning and wearing an animal's fur? Guess what? You are still ugly. Rich, maybe, but still ugly.
