THE VEGETARIAN BLOG

Last Saturday, the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT) marched down the streets of London to protest against one of the most morally repugnant trades in the world. Don’t get me wrong: any form of animal exploitation, be it for food, drugs, ‘entertainment’ or anything else that humanity’s wicked imagination can think up, is repulsive. However, there is an element of extra sadism in the fur trade, considering that it exists solely to satisfy cruel vanity. When you remember that 10 million animals languish in traps every year set up by hunters coming after a wounded, desperate animal’s fur, you really can’t help feeling very, very angry. Take a look at CAFT’s website and do what you can to help stop this evil trade. You can start by boycotting companies that use it in their products and, let’s face it, it’s one of the easiest things you can do for animals. Best of all, go vegan and you’ll be taken the most signicant step towards eliminating animal cruelty from your life.
