Anti-Beyonce


As anyone who knows me will know I am completely against the use of any animal products.

That means companies who test their products on animals and people (celebrities) that wear fur.

I do not care how people think wearing fur is 'glamourous'.

This is wrong. I am a major fan of PETA. Where are the red cans of paint when you need them.

I found a News release in 2003 from the Humane Society International. This is what they had found.

HSI's global investigation found:

-The death toll is conservatively estimated to be in the range of two million dogs and cats killed annually for their fur. Usually, 10 to 12 dogs and 24 cats are killed to manufacture one coat - more if puppies or kittens are used.

-The fur industry deliberately misleads consumers about product composition. A dog product may be sold as Gae-wolf, Sobaki, and Asian jackal among many others. Cat products are often sold as Wildcat, Goyangi and Katzenfelle to name only a few.

-Inhumane means are employed to kill animals for their fur. Investigators witnessed and recorded animals dying by slow suffocation, hanging, bludgeoning and clubbing, or bleeding to death. All of these methods involve severe panic, trauma, and needless prolonged suffering.

Maybe Beyonce might think twice about wearing the fur coat.
