How many squirrels should be killed to produce 1 fur coat

When we buy fur clothes we don't usually think how animals are suffering from pain just for the fashion.

Do you know that to produce a fur coat people kill:

100-250 squirrels,

170 chinchillas,

60 martens,

55 minks,

50 polecats,

27 raccoons,

25 otters,

25 cats,

18 beavers,

18 dogs,

14 lynxes?


Look at these animals. They are cute!

Animals are caught with traps or grown up at special animal farms. When the animals are caught into the trap, its steel teeth damage animals' bones, muscles and make them feel horrible pain.
Then a death comes. Some animals die from cold and starvation in some days even before a hunter comes.
At animal farms minks, raccoons, foxes are kept in tiny cages. Dirt, little space leads animals to the neurotic condition. They begin to bite and scratch themselves or fall into the apathy condition.
Animals are killed cruelly by electricity, poisoning with gases, making chemical injections and by some other ways.

Fur has become a symbol of luxury and not an opportunity to feel warm in the cold weather. We can be warmed up with ARTIFICIAL fur (jackets, anoraks) rather well!
