Cruelty to Animals
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Animals are one of the greatest wonders in the world. Farming and hunting is both equally increasing day by day. Therefore animal population is gradually decreasing and rare kinds of species have already vanished from our world. There many cruelties towards animals such as, animal testing for scientific researches, whaling, for entertainment purposes and etc. One of the major cruelties which really affect on animals is ‘Fur farming’. This is gradually increased in numbers in the twenty-first century. Therefore will there be any animals which is currently use for fur farming?
First of all what is meant by fur farming? It is the practice of breeding or raising certain types of animals for their fur. Ahead hearing the word ‘Farm’ most people get a picture in their mind of green hills, red barns, bunch of animals lazing in the sun. But life on a fur farm is nothing but the death. Especially for the foxes and minks and other animals killed for ranches each year. About 26 million are minks and 4.5 million are foxes. In addition 250,000 Chinchillas, 150,000 sables, another 100,000 racoondogs and some small number of bob cats, tigers, and bears are killed each year.
Having examined “Man’s best friends” dogs and cats are killed for fur. PETA’S (People for ethical treatment for animals) recent investigation shows that, Chinese dog and cat fur trade revealed, what the industry is so desperate to hide. Millions of dogs and cats in China are hanged, bled to death and strangled with wire hoses, so that their fur can be turned into trim and trinkets. It is important to recognize that nearly two centuries, “Britain’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) has waged a war on black bears, supporting financially the slaughter of hundred of these animals in Canada and using their pelts to make head pieces for the Queen’s guard” [www.mercyforanimals.org – (2011/03/17)]
Consequently in fur farming above mentioned animals spend their entire lives stacked on top of one another

    When the early settlers came to Australia, they removed lots of native bushland and Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat‘s habitats for building Houses and cities, they also made farms and agriculture areas where the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat’s lived. The Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat was known as a “pest” to many Farmers in that area. The Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat used to eat many crops and vegetation, dig burrows on farming areas and even damage fences. This was an unusual environment for the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat and lead to many Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat’s dying because they did not have their natural habitat, and they did not have native plants and grasses that the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat eats.Farmers would shoot the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat because of its damage to the farm and agriculture.

    Did you know that more than 50% of the fur in the United States comes from China, where there are no penalties for abusing animals, which are raised in unbearably cramped and run-down cages on fur farms? Animals should have a Bill of Rights because they have emotions, feel pain, and are being forced into painful experiments.…

    The next difficulty they face is surviving the winter. Unfortunately, a large portion of surviving is having enough grease, or lard, to cook and tan deer hides to make clothing. So they go out and hunt down a large black bear and kill it to get bear grease. Along with killing the bear, they hunt down coyotes, who are equally as important for the fur trade and making warmer clothing.…

    Even if a couple companies claimed to be treating the animals’ right, there would be no way to know for sure and it would be far too expensive to have people surveilling all the fur companies in the world. Fortunately, there has been an increasing number in those who are opposed to the fur trade. Thousands of animal rights activists have put multiple fur trading companies out of business due to their cruelty towards the animals. Many super models including Christy Turlington and Elle Macpherson have chosen to become fur free. Some fashion designers such as Stella McCartney have also chosen to go fur free, Stella not only avoids fur products but all animal products. Each year we are closer to nearly exterminating the fur trade but it has continued thus far. Why should millions of animals have to die for one person to be slightly warmer than they would be with a regular coat or jacket? Why should living things be tortured for money, it doesn’t sound right in any way whatsoever nor should it. We need to do all we can to help animals as well as those paid so poorly to do the “dirty work.” We need to do all we can to make sure we avoid purchasing anything that has the word fur on the tag unless the word “fake” is in front of…

    Arctic Fox Climate Report

    • 728 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Arctic fox is known for their luscious white fur, which allures the hunters for the warmth and appearance (Angerbjörn & Tannerfeldt, 2014). The fur trade impacted the Arctic Fox population greatly because of the high quality pelt they produced (Vertefeuille, 2016). This made it a very desirable target to trade and wear for humans. However, the fur trade decreased drastically and Arctic fox populations are not as susceptible to overexploitation as before (Vertefeuille, 2016). Still, native populations hunt for this fur (Vertefeuille, 2016), since they live near the foxes in the Arctic and value its fur for warmth and accessory. The disease and genetic pollution is also another major threat for the foxes bred in captivity (Angerbjörn & Tannerfeldt, 2014). They are held in captivity to produce their furs, but the confinements of being bred in the caged areas promote those negative factors. Further problem is associated with the human interaction in North America, as Arctic foxes that are not native to the area of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska are being directly killed (Angerbjörn et al., 2012). This is because of conservation efforts regarding the bird population, since the Arctic foxes are predators (Angerbjörn et al., 2012). However, they are lessening the Arctic fox population and need to realize this before it is too late. Therefore, the human interactions with the Arctic fox increase their mortality…

    Anyone who has ever observed a fur trapper separating a pelt from a recently killed animal knows it is a gruesome, painstaking procedure. Yet this very act, repeated countless millions of times, was a surprisingly vital component in the early history of the United States. The hunting and killing of animals for their skins affected the survival of the Pilgrims and their precarious, debt-ridden colony; the relentless exploration of wild places prior to settlement; and the rapid decline and near demise of numerous mammalian species.…

    Fur-bearing animals that are killed to fulfill the sources needed for the fur industry are raised in fur farms, and eighty five percent of the skins that are used in fur industry come from fur factory farms (Inside the Fur Industry). Animals that live captive in these fur farms are condemned to go through agonizing moments and brutal treatments, until the moment they get skinned with the most horrifying methods. In fur factories, small animals such as foxes, minks, raccoons and rabbits spent their lives in small cages, and in many cases multiply animals are forced to share a small cage. These cages do not offer protection from the weather conditions, and the hygiene is miserable with feces falling in water and food, because there is another animal…

    Factory Farm

    In my research on factory farming, many websites described in detail the abuse these poor innocent animals endure on a daily basis. The farms use various labels for the different types of processing such as broiler chickens, layer chickens, pigs, veal calves, and dairy cows. These names and labels are placed on the animals that are put through misery to satisfy the high demands for food products. For example, one instance of maltreatment, the broiler chicken, is raised for its thighs and breasts. The birds are bred to grow at a rapid rate and end up really heavy. Then their bones cannot support their weight, making it difficult to stand and eventually they cannot walk and are killed. Additionally, the birds are stripped of their beaks and toes to prevent fighting between them. The cruelty does not stop there.…
