Your view: Animals are not meant to be used by fashion industry

Animals are not born to be our handbags, coats, shoes, and furniture. They are sentient beings with the ability to feel pain, fear and death just like humans. They are poisoned, inhumanely trapped, painfully gassed, and electrocuted for their fur, feathers, skins, and scales, and some are skinned alive for these frivolous items.

Animals are blinded and poisoned in cosmetic testing, and there are many cruelty free companies who make their cosmetics, soaps, and household products etc. without testing on animals. Shoppers can help geese and ducks by purchasing luxurious down-free pillows and jackets, and by purchasing natural fiber or synthetic items instead of wool. . You can give the gift of style without harming animals by opting for silk-free ties to vegan chocolates, non-leather handbags, shoes, and fake fur clothing.

Make this holiday a cruelty-free one by not causing harm to animals. The next time you need new shoes, a sweater, or cosmetics go to https://tinyurl.com/y9kgvyoj or search Google for cruelty-free vegan products.
