Butterflies and Scorpions
pie tuo lo fuo Used in jewellery, paperweights and showpieces. Butterflies and scorpions are caught and immersed alive in resin and plastic to make kitsch. Such frivolous ornaments are then usually sold to tourists at high prices, who fail to grasp the intense cruelty involved in mummifying these live, delicate creatures.
Absolutely unnecessary, there is no alternative!
The feathers are plucked cruelly from live birds. The sale of feathers also results in making the meat of birds as chicken, duck, geese, peacock, ostrich etc. more profitable. iterb for ob Cotton, silk-cotton (from the tree) and synthetic filling materials are good replacements for feathers and down, all of which are readily and widely available. ni bine coseq ni

Pelts of wild animals, fur and skin are obtained through unimaginably cruel trapping methods. The trapped animal often has to suffer for days, till the trapper comes around on his circuit to end its misery through death. They have to suffer clubbing, gassing, electrocution and strangulation, just to name a few methods. Very often, unwanted animals and birds are also trapped and have to die. Yet others, like rabbits and mink, are specially bred on fur farms, only to be killed for their fur.
ni ise Artificial furs, like the coat in the photo, are available. Besides, most importantly, being cruelty-free, they are much more durable and easy to maintain. But do we really need to wear even simulated fur ?
