Defenseless Animals Skinned Alive

To our leaders,

Please immediately outlaw killing animals for their fur.

The methods used to 'harvest' hides is ammoral and disgusting. Innocent animals are being trapped, a slow and awful death, because humans want to wear their fur. Some 'fur factories' actually attain the animals live and skin them that way to preserve the quality of the furs.

There are criminal penalties for those who abuse or fight animals, but this is allowed?? It is accepted by our government that people torture animals in the name of FASHION???

Why is this important?

I am apalled to learn how horrible the fur industry really is.

Its bad enough that animals are legally trapped, a slow and painful death, because some desire the 'clothes' off their backs. Now, I have learned that the fur industry condones the skinning of LIVE animals! I recently saw a video from PETA, which made me literally ill. Animals kept in cages and brought out, tied to a pole and the skin pulled off of them while they scream with the pain. A gruesome death, for sure. They don't deserve that.

How is this allowed? Please tell our leaders to outlaw torturing animals for ANY reason!
