title: WARNING: VERY disturbing. :(
People, brace yourselves!
I am not a huge animal lover, to tell you the truth. We have pets at home but my brothers do all the pet stuff because I'm too lazy to feed and bathe the dogs. But it doesn't mean that I hate animals or that I don't care about them. I care enough to post this video and make EVERYONE aware of the fact that hundreds of animals are killed in order to satisfy the demand for FUR COATS. Coats? How completely senseless! Recently, I've heard from a US entertainment news that Giorgio Armani will include fur coats for children in his Fall Collection this year. Most of his loyal customers are Hollywood stars and when they start to purchase and support this collection, some other people, who are unaware of how serious animal cruelty has become, will follow to do the same. The images of the beaten and blood-drenched animals I've seen on the video will continue to flash on my mind for a long time, but it's better than not having something to remind me to avoid buying anything made from real fur or real leather.
Here is PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) definitive video on the Fashion Industry:
There is a way you could help stop the killings! Spread the word. Post this video to your blog, your Friendster, Facebook and MySpace accounts, e-mail it to friends, tell the story to your families, friends, co-workers or even to strangers. Ignoring this won't make you cool. Being part of something BIG will.
