| 説明 | An animal rights activist in Conduit Street, Mayfair, holds a placard reminding passing Christmas shoppers that we need a fur free London."The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured by the way its animals are treated" - Mahatma GandhiOn Saturday 3 December, I joined some animal rights activists who were protesting outside several shops in London's Mayfair, including Conduit and New Bond streets, which were selling products made wholly or in part from animal products.Wild animals, such as alligators, crocodiles and snakes are killed, often using barbaric methods, for their skins. I hadn't realised the appalling conditions in which crocodiles are often kept in pens on farms before being slaughtered.Yves Salomon was one of the fashion retailers targeted, in its case (at least at the time this photograph was taken) over the sale of fox furs, with several reports that foxes on fur farms are kept cruelly in cages, and in at least one instance in 2020 in Poland - although I don't know whether the farm was a UK supplier - underfed foxes allegedly resorted to cannibalism. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/foxes-rescue-pola...www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/animals-suffer-hell-finnish...metro.co.uk/2021/11/27/harrods-tell-secret-shopper-animal...The activists also protested outside Celine on New Bond Street, which, as far as I'm aware, does not use fur, but according to online sources (at the time this photograph was taken) it uses leather and exotic animal skins in some of its products.goodonyou.eco/luxury-brands-harming-animals/The last shop the activists visited, before I had to leave, was Fendi, also on New Bond Street. At the time of posting, according to the following link, it uses fur, leather and exotic animal skin.goodonyou.eco/luxury-brands-harming-animals/In 2015 Karl Lagerfeld celebrated the luxury fashion house's fiftieth anniversary with an all-fur collection at a show in Paris. He dismissed the complaints of activists, telling the New Yorker, "For me, as long as people eat meat and wear leather, I don't get the message." us.fashionnetwork.com/news/hugo-boss-promises-to-go-fur-f...According to Wikipedia, Largerfeld "introduced the use of mole, rabbit and squirrel pelts into high fashion." He was initially employed by Fendi in 1967 to "modernise their fur line" and he continued working with the company until his death in 2019. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_LagerfeldThe UK website of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) reminds its readers that "Animals are not ours to wear or carry our possessions in . Before their skin or hair reaches shop shelves, animals endure a life of misery, pain, frustration, and fear, and many are skinned alive. Every year, more than 1 billion animals are slaughtered in the global leather industry. Sheep raised for wool are routinely mutilated, abused, and eventually killed. Foxes, minks, and chinchillas spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages just to be slaughtered for their fur. The exotic-skins industry claims the lives of millions of snakes, alligators, seals, zebras and other animals."www.peta.org.uk/issues/animals-not-wear/ |
