It's high time we human beings should understand that animals are a part of our eco-system and are not meant to be abused for our comfort and convenience. Human beings should learn to co-exist. Now, shaking in the cold winter temperatures of Madrid in Spain, animal rights activists stripped naked and covered themselves with fake blood on Sunday, 15th January to protest against using fur and leather in clothes. The naked animal rights activists positioned themselves on the floor in front of a famous shopping mall that sells fur coats to demand the end of animal fur in fashion.“Cruelty is not elegant”, one of the activists said as she held a sign reading “How many lives for a coat?”
The protest was organised by animal welfare group Animal Naturalis against fur in fashion, and it’s part of the European Citizens’ Initiative Fur Free Europe, which calls on to ban fur farms and farmed fur products from the European market. Since the protest has started, almost 1.3 million people have signed the Initiative, meaning the European Commission is obliged to respond and take action into the matter. “Activists have demonstrated this morning fully naked and sprayed with fake blood to condemn the injustice that millions of animals are slaughtered annually for their skins,” Animal Naturalis have said on their social media handles. The post is going viral on the internet with several people supporting the cause. What do you think about this? Do mention your opinions about this in the comment section below.
