Be Comfortable In Your Own Skin And Let Animals Keep Theirs
As a spin-off from their "I'd Rather Go Naked" anti-fur campaign, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) created "Ink, Not Mink." Tattooed celebrities show their body art and voice their support for animal rights and fake fur.
take a look at...
Say "No" To Fur and Fur Farming
Thousands of animals, mostly mink, chinchilla and foxes, are raised and killed solely to obtain their fur. The animals are frequently raised in cramped and diseased conditions with up to 25% of the "crop" dying from respiratory or other illness in the process.
The animals are then subject to electrocution, drowning or are often clubbed to death. Many animals are just horribly wounded or stunned instead of outright killed and it's not uncommon for them to then actually be still alive when they are skinned for their fur.
It's now possible to create synthetic "fake" furs that imitate real animal skins and as such, farming and killing animals just to harvest their skins isn't necessary anymore.

How do YOU feel about fur?
Should people wear fur if they wish?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand bySure, humans have worn fur for thousands of years.
No way, real fur should be replaced by fake fur!
Orthia says:
There's no reason that all fur used in fashion shouldn't be fake. They look the same as real and it's easier to care for them. There's no reason animals should be farmed for their fur.
