Somewhere in the world a trap snaps on an animal every second.
While you are reading this line, at least three animals are trapped in a snare trap. It is all for vain humans.
Every second an animal dies for fashion. 60,000,000 animals are killed for clothing every year.

The human race did, and will continue to do, anything to control animals and use them for his comfort and his luxury lifestyle. People are still wearing furs. Do you get it?! What hope is there that some day humans will see milk as rape, baby steal, extreme exploitation and murder, if humans are not even beyond, the so basic step, of not wearing someone’s fur?

The most common method of trapping is the use of “steel-jaw leghold trap”, the diabolical instrument of torture.
To lure fur bearers into the trap, trappers employ any manipulation they can think of including audio recordings of a crying animal previously ensnared, like a fox caught in a steel-jaw trap.

When an unsuspecting animal puts his foot on the trap, heavy iron jaws snap it, slashing skin and breaking bones. Trapped mothers are desperate to return to their young who are doomed to starvation. The animals struggle and try to release from the trap with their teeth, breaking many of them. They suffer a slow, excruciating death by freezing, hunger or being attacked by predators.
What great alternatives to choose from. How would you like to die?

Many animals will chew off their own leg to escape!
Up to 1 out of every 4 trapped animals escape by chewing off their own feet, only to die later from blood loss, fever, gangrene, or predation.

Animals that did not manage to escape from the trap, will suffer for hours or even days, before the trappers arrive.

The trappers murder the animals by suffocation or by clubbing, beating and stomping their victims to death, to avoid damaging the pelt.
A common stomping method is for the trapper to stand on the animal's rib cage, concentrating his weight near the heart.

Two examples of murder tools are heavy iron pipe, about 18 to 24 inches long, or an axe handle. Animals are stricken twice, first time to render them unconscious and second to render them either dead or comatose. To ensure death, the trapper is pinning the head with one foot and stand on the chest of the animal with the other foot for several minutes, afterwards he touches the eye or mouth of the animal with the striking tool and watch for any reaction. If there is no reaction, he cuts of the animal's hind legs and yanks his skin and fur out.

Other commonly used trap is the wire snare which is made of a cable shaped like a noose. When animals go through the noose, they are caught. The more they struggle the tighter the noose becomes. If the animals are caught around the neck they will slowly suffocate. Death can take up to six minutes.

Another appalling way in which animals are caught is by the use of leg traps, set under water. These “drowning sets” are frequently used to catch animals such as beavers and muskrats. Beavers are well adapted to an aquatic life, and so it can take them 25 minutes to drown. During those 25 minutes the animal is suffering from the striking and clamping force of the jaws, as well as the panic of being held under water by a violent, mysterious force.
It is a slow drowning as they fight for air while the trap holds them back. If they are able to drag themselves out of the water while they are still trapped, the struggle can last for days.

About 8,500,000 animals are caught and murdered every year in United States alone.
About 4,000,000 of them are considered as "non targeted animals" which are not of use to the fur industry, but yet being tortured and murdered.

80% of all the fur comes from farms. Fur farming means factory farming.
As with other intensive-confinement animal farms, the methods used on fur farms are designed to maximize profits, always at the expense of the animals' needs and comfort. Animals are kept in the most atrocious conditions. Foxes raised in fur farms are often crammed - four in a cage - measuring 25 square feet!
These conditions make it very difficult for the animals even to stand.
Intensive, completely unnatural confinement leads to high-level of stress, self-mutilation and even cannibalism.

The animals live in conditions that go completely against their needs. Beavers are forced to live on cement floors instead of water.
Minks are solitary animals by nature, but in the farms, they are forced to live in extremely close contact with other animals.
Foxes, who normally roam over 2,000 to 15,000 acres, are imprisoned in a tiny cage.

The stress is so high in the fur farms that killing and injuring cubs by their own mothers is common. It is estimated that 10 – 20% of female foxes kill their cubs at some point in fur farms. Cub mortality, because of infanticide, exceed 50%. Females of lower social status are more prone to kill their cubs and they have poorer reproductive and nursing success.
Dead cubs have bite marks on their bodies, often with the skull crushed, or half eaten.

Artificial insemination is common in fur farm. It is mostly used to produce crosses between blue and silver foxes as their natural mating times do not coincide. The systematic rapes often result in ripping of genitals membranes and thousands of deaths duo to lack of hygiene.

An eyewitness tells: "Fur farms are contaminated and piles everywhere with excrement. This causes many diseases for the animals, including pneumonia, wet belly disease, and nursing disease. Flies, lice, and flees infect the cages. The smell of decay permeate the place, animals with severe injuries don't get any medical care"
He continues: "Foxes and minks are pacing in endless circles, crazy from the confinement. Row after row of tiny wire-mesh cages, stacked four high and about 25 in a row, chinchillas peering watchfully through the wires, a rack of pelts hanging on a far wall, and except for a radio playing softly in one corner of the room, a morgue-like hush".

After seven months, the factory animals are murdered. This is usually in november when the fur is at its peak quality.
Various violent and brutal methods are used for killing.
Many ranchers break the necks of the animals with their bare hands.

Another common method of killing is by gassing. Relatively big animals like foxes are removed from their cages and placed individually in a killing box, filled with the gas. Smaller animals like squirrels and minks are gassed with a cup filled with gas. Most animals screech, defecate, urinate, and exude the contents of the anal scent glands. The suffocation is slow and painful.
An alternative is the injection of a lethal drug, often performed by ranchers with no medical training.
Another method is to connect a car exhaust to a box containing a live animal, and wait for him to die. This often only stuns the animals and therefore they are skinned alive.

Electrocution is commonly used for killing foxes. The apparatus consists of a battery, a metal bar and a clamp. The clamp is fastened around the muzzle of the fox. The bar is inserted in the animal's anus, a switch is flicked, and the electric current electrocutes the fox, causing an intense pain of a heart attack while they are fully conscious. The animals are literally burned from the inside.

Each year in March, the Russians brutally murder, 10 day old, baby harp seals in the White Sea. The hunters are coming toward the baby seals. The naive baby, who is not familiar with the human race, is happy to see the hunter, thinking that he found a new play mate. As the hunter approaches the seal, he swings his heavy club and start beating the baby on the face, until he smashes his fragile skull. The hunter tries to hit the baby’s face as near as possible to the nose, in order not to damage the “prestige” white fur.

The older seals are being shot or clubbed to death. Many do not die right away, and are skinned alive!
Many are shot while they are in the water, and may escape to die later.

Over the 3 years of 2003 – 2005 about a million seals were slaughtered in Canada with the support of the Canadian government. In 2006 325,000 harp seals, 10,000 hooded seals and 10,400 grey seals were brutally murdered, confirming its reputation as the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. Thousands more were murdered on the beaches of Newfoundland.

A well-organized fur trade spends millions of dollars every year to glamorize fur coats and to mask their real price – pain.

The campaign against fur was once considered to be the most successful campaign ever by the animal rights movement.
After almost a decade of being branded politically incorrect, fur is back in fashion. The fur industry comeback in the last 5 years is an irrefutable evidence of the sole significance of trends in human behavior and public political views.
It is not empathy, rationality, concern and compassion that dictate humans’ behavior.
It is trends. Let the only one solution be the last trend... Literally.
