Fur-wearers and meat eaters disgust me. Animals on farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, rusty and contaminated wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available which include suffocation, electrocution, gassing, and poisoning. More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and sometimes even skinned alive for their fur. Chinese fur is also often mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, there's no way of knowing whose skin you're in. Most leather comes from developing countries like India, and China, where animals routinely have their throats slit and their skin ripped off while they are still conscious. In India, cows have their tails broken and chili peppers and tobacco rubbed into their eyes in order to force them to walk after they collapse while traveling long distances to slaughter.

The Truth Behind Fur, Leather and Wool
Most of the world's wool comes from Australia, where sheep undergo "mulesing," a gruesome mutilation in which large chunks of skin and flesh are cut from lambs' backsides without any painkillers. Each year, millions of sheep discarded by the Australian wool industry are crammed onto export ships to be sent to the Middle East. Sheep who survive the terrifying voyage are often dragged off trucks by their ears and legs, tied up, beaten, and have their throats slit while they are still conscious.
The solution is simple: production stops when the buying does.
