Fur Industry Lies: Part 3
The Fur Commission thinks we should be "thankful" that the fur industry is so efficient, by feeding unsellable parts of factory meat farm carcasses to factory fur farm animals.
Response 1:
Fur farms use the product of one type of unnecessary torture to make conditions more miserable in another type of unnecessary torture. The waste that the fur animals eat is pure unappetizing slop, the bodies of the killed fur animals create further waste, and the conditions in which the animals are housed are unconscionable. If anything in fur farms were to have some redeeming benefit, it would be purely accidental. Fur farms are set up to provide the absolute minimum to keep animals alive for a few months, so they can be killed and their skins sold for profit.
Who is the Fur Commission trying to kid? And why? Surely they don't believe their own make-believe "fur is efficient" and "fur farm animals are happy" dreck even if they repeat it over and over. Their Hell will surely be that they are animals in one of their fur farms.
Response 2:
Nature is efficient. Predators in the wild control prey populations. They live real lives, not impoverished ones. They run instead of pace back and forth in a tiny cage. They feel the sun and the earth. They form natural bonds and care for their young. They're not subjected to the excruciating denial and nothingness of confinement from day one.
The fur industry's imposed efficiency is efficient cruelty, efficient killing, efficient torture. Auschwitz was efficient like that.
