Fur-Free and Fabulous - that's the slogan of PETA's latest anti-fur campaign. The poster features talkshow superstar Oprah Winfrey, First Lady Michelle Obama, singer Carrie Underwood and top model Tyra Banks, all of whom have declared that they do not use fur. The fur industry is one of the cruelest in the world, with animals being skinned alive, beaten, drowned, and so on. Not only do they suffer painful deaths, they also have to endure miserable lives. Ranch-raised foxes are kept in cages only 2.5 feet square (minks in cages 1-foot-by-3-feet), with up to four animals per cage. Wild animals can languish in traps for days. Up to 1 out of every 4 trapped animals escapes by chewing off his or her own feet, only to die later from blood loss, fever, gangrene, or predation. Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, raptors, and other so-called "trash" animals are crippled or killed by traps. To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.
