John Carmody Animal Rights Activist PRADA DROVE ANOTHER nail into the coffin of a dying, barbaric industry recently when its artistic director, Miuccia Prada, announced that the Italian fashion house and its brands will stop using fur.With that announcement, Prada found itself in good company: Gucci, Versace, Chanel, Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, and Burberry are among the major designers that have dropped fur in the last few years.
With a push from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and others, it’s not just fashion’s trendsetters who are banishing the fur trade to its deserved place atop the ash heap of history. Confined to squalid wire-mesh battery cages, these naturally solitary animals, whose native territories extend up to 3 kilometres, are denied all opportunity to engage in their instinctual behaviour: they can’t run, swim, find their own food, or care for their young.And animal suffering isn’t the only issue.
But the people of Ireland are overwhelmingly opposed to our continued involvement in this barbaric industry.
'NO' Cruel is the way we humans treat & threaten each other. Remember the fastest route to extinction for any other creature on Earth is for humans to have no use for them.?
