We live in a world where compassion and fashion should be one and the same, but companies like Burberry are showing little compassion to the animals who die for their clothes. With fur alternatives readily available, it's kinda messed up that Burberry is still intent on using the fur of animals for their coats. All we can think is that they are trying to scare off their chav buyers by producing clothes so tasteless and disgusting that even they wouldn't buy them.
How messed up is it that Burberry still uses dead animals for decoration in their clothes? Arctic foxes, red foxes, minks and Finn raccoons are among the victims of their bloody-minded fashion choices. The life that these animals lead is shrouded in misery right from birth. Being kept in steel cages with little to no room to move, they are treated as nothing more than objects which will eventually be drowned, anally electrocuted or beaten to death and skinned for their coats.
Fur is cruel and unnecessary, and the fur industry is putting cruelty in the limelight and exposing the companies which use it as uncaring and uncompassionate. Animals that are killed for their skins are slaughtered in unusually cruel methods, such as anal electrocution, drowning and gassing. This is all completely pointless, as there are alternatives to real animal skins that look and feel exactly the same.
By not using fur, you will show that your company is forward-thinking in the same way your competitors are, including Vivienne Westward, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Mark Bouwer.
Please stop using fur in your designs and adopt a fur-free policy.
