Prohibition Of Wearing Fur To Prevent Suffering Of Animals

Animals are actually widely used as symbols of a country or state or province, mascots of commercial products or the use of animals in spectacles, circuses, shows, films, or for recreation. But also visualized in stories, art, poetry, astrology, paintings, advertisements, and even the symbol of political parties. Animals can be a symbol of strength and ferocity, but also wealth, luck, pleasure and even bad luck and anger. In the past animals were used for war and transportation, but now for sports, racing, hunting, even more tragic for complaints. Humans make extraordinary use of animals, for food, clothing, bags, footwear, belts, household appliances, medicine, experiments, fuel, ornaments, souvenirs and even friendships. But animals can also be a source of disaster if animals act as a source of disease.

So if animals can talk, will they thank or even sue us humans for responsibility?Imagine being beaten to near death and being painfully skinned alive. This scenario seems as if it would only happen in a horror film, but in reality it occurs on a daily basis. Looking at a fur coat through a store window or in a glossy magazine one may not realize that animals were beaten, electrocuted, crammed in filthy wire cages, or even hanged just to produce a simple fur coat. Every year millions of animals are treated wrongly and even killed for the fur on their backs. Society may think twice about wearing the corpse of an animal when one knows what really happens in the name of fashion. An immeasurable amount of suffering went into every fur trimmed jacket, leather belt, or wool sweater hanging in ones closet. To prevent the unnecessary suffering of animals for fashion, wearing fur must be made illegal. When it comes to wool one imagines idyllic surroundings and sheep who naturally shed their coats or need haircuts to keep cool during hot summer months, and one may believe sheep live this life until the final breath, but ones imagination is far from the truth. Even though wool could be multimillion dollar a year production, due to the welfare of the animals that unwillingly participate in this process should be shut down.

Lyn White, campaign director of Animals Australia states “Australian wool producers are striving to produce ultra-fine wool to supply the demand from elite fashion houses both in Australia and overseas. Snakes, crocodiles, and other reptiles are hunted because of their skin. snakes are usually nailed to a tree and cut into their bodies and skinned alive. just like snakes, crocodiles are often slaughtered and their skin is taken for fashion. sometimes it takes 4 crocodiles to make 1 bag. Today, the price of crocodile and snake skins is increasing and many are interested because they want to be stylish. they don't care about the sacrifice of the beautiful animal. they deserve protection despite their large population. There are few laws to protect reptiles from abuse, and those that do exist are often not enforced. For example, although animals such as anacondas and crocodiles are covered by Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) regulations, it is estimated that for every animal who is legally killed for the exotic skins trade, another will be illegally poached. In the United States, reptiles are excluded from the meager protections afforded by the Animal Welfare Act. In addition to being cruel, this industry is extremely wasteful: It can take the skins of four crocodiles to make a single bag. All five rhino species are threatened with extinction: Africa’s black rhinos are critically endangered, with a population under 5,000. The 3,000 one-horned rhinos of India and Nepal are endangered, while Southeast Asia’s Sumatran and Javan rhinos number only in the hundreds and tens, are also critically endangered.

At around 20,000, the southern white rhino is most numerous, with the vast majority living in South Africa. Rhinos are often hunted in African grasslands. Destroyed a life just to take its horn and make it a luxury for humanity. In the face of interests, hunters will step on the ground with equal life and precious protected animals can only be replaced by cheap victims of money in their eyes. Elephants are the largest protected animals. There are two types of elephants in the world, namely African elephants and Asian elephants. elephants are hunted because he has ivory that is very desirable for humans. Previously the price of ivory had decreased and hunting had declined. but now prices are rising and elephant hunting is rising. hunters have no conscience at all, all they care about is money. a few years ago there were 25,000 elephants killed by African hunters. because at that time the price of ivory was very expensive to sell at blackmarket. currently the elephant population has dropped dramatically. in various regions there has been a conflict between humans and animals because their habitat area is disturbed, both because of the opening of settlements and the opening of plantations, so that the elephants roam the area and cause losses to plantation crops. The hunting of endangered species is mostly caused by economic factors that cause poaching other than caused by economic factors, this is also caused by the belief that endangered organ organs can cure malignant diseases that cause wild animal populations to be hunted, without thinking of the consequences in the end it will be self-destructive. Many laws have been made to protect these endangered species, but there is still a lot of lack of attention to the law, so there are still many illegal poaching that occur.

As well as many wildlife reserves or nature reserves established to protect animals. these rare animals whose population can be said to live a little. As a final step which is also very important is public awareness about the dangers of illegal trade in wildlife. "If it is not supported by awareness from the wider community in helping to protect various wildlife, including the absence of the desire to buy and maintain wild animals, then any step will not go well. The rampant illegal wildlife trade was triggered by market demand. So, if the community stops the request, illegal trade in wildlife will decrease. "Maintaining wild animals, especially those protected, including storing body parts, is not a pride or prestige. This is actually a crime for violating the law.
