< p > 2013 is a symbolic year of the anti fur movement in the United States. From September this year, West Hollywood will become the first city in the United States to ban the sale of less than a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" and fur clothing /a. So far, 339 brands or businesses in the United States have promised not to sell fur products. < /p >
< p > the Hollywood star Woody Harrelson played the role of a narrator in a recent filming of the American Humane Association against the use of animal fur in the fashion industry, calling for a 2013 year refused to wear fur. "It's hard to get people to directly face cruelty to cruelty to animals, because no one wants to see the truth in fur acquisition," Harrelson said. This video is so powerful that you don't need to go to the scene to know the price behind the fur. I really hope that fashion designers and consumers will think twice before using and wearing animal fur, especially now that we have so many fashionable materials that can replace it. < /p >
< p > in the United States, buying fur is regarded as one of the typical acts of "political incorrectness". Hilary has suffered losses. At that time, the tailor did not control his mouth and told the media that he had helped Hilary make a mink coat. So PETA was very angry and the consequences were very serious. PETA issued a written statement calling on the whole nation to call Hilary or write a letter asking her to stop this "atrocity". During the period, Hilary's office tried to deny her purchase of mink coat. Later, under the thorough investigation of PETA and the media, Hilary office finally admitted that she owned a mink coat with a history of 25 years, because she was too old and bought a new one. < /p >
< p > according to the statistics of the international organization for the protection of animals, about eight million animal skins have been traded around the world each year, and more than thirty million animals have been raised around the world for the purpose of obtaining fur. The brutal anal electric shock is a common way to kill factory cultured foxes, because this ensures the integrity of < a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/news/index_q.asp" > fur > /a >. < /p >
< p > in China, the peeling phenomenon of animals is even more appalling. It is said that when skin is alive, skin will be brighter. There are also people in the industry who claim that skinning is not different when they are alive and skinned after they die. There are a number of videos and photos on the Internet. Raccoons are struggling to look back at their blood stained bodies after losing their skins. It is reminiscent of the federal humane slaughtering law promulgated by the United States in 1958, which aims to ensure that animals lose consciousness before being slaughtered, so that they will not feel pain when they are slaughtered. < /p >
< p > Gandhi once said, "the greatness of a country can be seen from its attitude towards animals." China is the world's largest exporter of fur and produces 95% of its fur. So far, more than 100 countries in the world have enacted the law on Prohibition of cruelty to animals, while China's "anti cruelty to animal law" remains at the stage of drafting expert recommendations. From these two points, we can see that the protection of animals is a long way to go. < /p >

< p > it has been argued that this problem can not be generalized by simple right and wrong, because it contains different ideas about animals in different countries' cultures. Some people believe that the American hypocrisy is reflected in the slaughtering of animals. For example, the federal humane slaughtering law itself has many loopholes. According to John Robbins in the food revolution, "in the United States, 90% of the animals consumed by human consumption (including poultry) can not enjoy the safeguards provided by this Law." < /p >
P, anyway, we have to admit that animals, like humans, have emotions and needs, and they also fear and pain. If we can agree with this point, even if the act of pillaging fur or bony bones is unavoidable, reducing their pain as much as possible in the process is a mercy. < /p >
< p > in fact, the rejection of fur in the field of sustainable fashion is only the most basic "politically correct" bottom line, and the avant-garde environmentalists even try to avoid using products made from animal leather. For example, in recent years, environmental designers used artificial materials to simulate the appearance and texture of cowhide or goat skin to make veggie shoe (Su Xie). < /p >
< p > celebrities wear it on the carpet or take part in a charity dinner instead of Jimmy Choo. < /p >
< p > Hollywood actress Natalie Portman is one of the leading figures. She has worked with TeCasan to design a series of prime shoes. Although 5% of its revenue is supposed to be used for charity, a pair of leather high heels, priced at $265, have also been criticized by some as price violence. < /p >
< p > genuine leather shoes are not only refused to use < a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/news/index_s.asp" > animal leather < /a >. For example, the British brand Beyond Skin (look at the name), is committed to making shoes with the most environmentally-friendly materials, such as the use of natural fiber fabrics or organic fabrics as shoe fabrics, and the cushions come from India natural rubber. The use of artificial materials strictly follows the principle of "minimal impact on the environment", such as the use of PU synthetic leather instead of PVC artificial leather, because the former is more environmentally friendly. Product packaging and promotional materials are printed on recycled paper, and the use of soy based ink is emphasized. < /p >
