Wearing Fur




.
Wearing fur can be viewed as a type of bad behaviour because it could be viewed as morally wrong within society. There is an ongoing debate around wearing fur and many individuals have different opinions in relation to the wearing of fur.

Fur is the hair or skin of a mammal. Wearing fur such as leather or a fox fur jacket involves the slaughter of animals such as, minks, foxes, rabbits, sables, chinchillas, beavers, lynx, seals, raccoons, coyotes, muskrats, wolves, otters, cats and dogs.
Fur farming was banned in the UK in 2003- This is where animals are taken to be killed and the production process of fur clothing is carried out. However, it is still legal to sell fur within the united kingdom- this is usually imported from different countries. http://http//www.ad-international.org/fur/go.php?ssi=19

Personally, I feel wearing of fur is wrong. I do not wear fur or leather I think it would be uncomfortable and it would irritate me too much! The production of fur is technically a form or murder, in the sense that you are killing something not forgetting the immoral part of this debate- I feel it is just wrong. How would you like it if someone killed you and ripped your skin off to use as a jacket? It is wrong!!!!!

Many organisations protest about the wearing of fur and organisations such as PETA even get celebrities involved in campaigns. PETA and their affiliates around the world educate policymakers and the public about cruelty to animals and promote an understanding of the right of all animals to be treated with respect. Celebrities involved in PETA’s work include, Khloe Kardashian, Kate Winslit and Kelly Osbourne. I think this is a positive thing to do as it hears the voices and opinions of protesters all around in relation to wearing fur. It also put the graphic images of what happens to the poor animals out there something which if you’re brought a new fur jacket you would not see! http://http//www.peta.org.uk/

Overall, there are many opinions as to if fur is morally or even ethically wrong. It constitutes as bad behaviour I feel as it is a form of killing and it is morally and ethically wrong. I also feel more should be done to help the poor animals that experience harm and suffer because of an individual’s desire to wear fur. What do you all think?
