Speaking Out For Those Who Can't

We can't put an end to human cruelty of animals. But can bring

about change to minify it by the same method used to minify

cruelty to human slaves categorized as property. No, not

The Price the Animals Pay
The REAL price of fur must be measured in deaths--not dollars.
To make one (1) fur coat you must kill at least

fifty-five (55) wild mink, thirty-five (35) ranched mink, forty (40) sables,

eleven (11) lynx, eighteen (18) red foxes, eleven (11) silver foxes,

one hundred (100) chinchillas, thirty (30) rex rabbits, nine (9) beavers,

thirty (30) muskrats, fifteen (15) bobcats, twenty-five (25) skunks,

thirty (30) possums, one hundred (100) squirrels,

OR twenty-seven (27) raccoons.

Many of these animals are skinned alive!

fashion industry. This number does not include nontarget animals, or "Trash Kill"

(a term for unmarketable animals, such as domestic dogs and cats,
