Imagine. It was a day just like any other day. You sit at the bench, reading books and daydreaming. Out of nowhere, some stranger just came and clubbed you for no reason. Of course, your bones are broken. You even suffer uncontrollable movements of your muscles. Then, even before the pain dies out, this stranger carelessly skins you alive. Without even injecting pain killers, he throws you away into a trashcan, which reeks like hell. There, he sees body of his friend, who
had disappeared for a year. No, actually, it wasn’t a body. It was actually rotten innards because they did not have any skin. Now, you don’t have any energy to be surprised. All you wish is to die and end this terrifying pain.
It seems like a scene from a rated R horror movie and you would probably think that it would never happen in real life. You would think that in this peaceful world, where humane civilizations exist, there won’t be people committing such murderous actions. But you’re wrong. There are people who brutally beat living things and then strip the flesh. For example, workers in the Chinese fur farms do this inhumane murdering process on raccoons and rabbits. They do the exact same thing listed in my introduction; they confine living things in the smallest box in the world, strip the furs away, and leave the skinned animals alive without even injecting pain killers.
The most shocking thing in this event is not how workers in the farm kill the animals, but it is the reason why people kill animals. The intention behind this whole horrible business is for earning money and showing off their money. By ripping fur out of these poor animals’ bodies, the people use the fur to make coat. Wealthy people buy these coats in order to show their wealth and for ornamentation. In Korea, for example, women value mink coats as the most valuable property and most wanted commodity they can have. It is because having a mink coat mean they are prosperous and fashionable. Not only Korea, but also in advanced countries, women adore buying and wearing mink coats. One of the most famous fashion icons in U.S., Paris Hilton, even quotes, “Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.” This means she butchers animals, just to look good. How cruel, inhumane, idiotic is this! Seriously, people in 21st century need to think as if they were in animals’ place! So, whoever reads my blog, think before you order a mink coat. Reconsider shopping a fur coats. Never involve in fur trading business. So, please think like a human before you commit crime on animals.
