11 February 2011 Animal Fur Rights God created this beautiful university. He breathed life into animals and man, and made them living souls. Animals are just like man. So, why are there on earth the rights to kill animals? Why human are being so cruel to the animals? Animals have been killed for their fur, burnt, sliced, poisoned with toxic chemicals, tested in the laboratory. The question is not,” Can they reason?” nor,” Can they talk?” but rather,” Can they suffer?” Is it right to take the life of an innocent animal? Imagine how animals suffer from pain, I feel deep sorrow. There are many categories to form the term animal rights. I will only discuss a few. Killing animals for their fur is a sin. My goal in this paper is to bring some specific facts about fur clothes cruelty and why should we stop use fur products.
Do you love your pet? How would you feel if someone came and skinned them for their fur? Most people know about the good quality of animals’ fur product but they do not clearly know how they were collected. Since people know about the process to make fur products, they will realize that it was a shame to killing innocent animals for furs. Before I can begin the research of this subject, I need to provide the cause and effect of wearing fur clothing. Tran 2

There are various reasons would explain why people wear fur clothing. First, people who live in a cold climate area such as Alaska wear fur because other fabrics may not be warm enough for them. For this purpose, it can be acceptable to choose fur to wear. Second, natural fur looks
