Animals killed for their fur is a serious issue. They are killed inhumanely and kept under squalid and distressing conditions just so women - and men - can look stylish. Baby seals are clubbed to death when they are just 2 months old or younger and some animals are caught in traps, sometimes chewing at their own paws for days in a desperate attempt to escape. And all to be slaughtered for someone elses benefit. It is horrible how the poor creatures are electrecuted, or gassed but worse how some are skinned alive. This cruel action has to stop. Especially as synthetic fabrics have been proved warmer then fur blankets and wearing fake fur looks just as fetching.
