What is wrong with killing animals every year for fashion? Each year there are millions of animals killed not only for food, but for their skins and furs. Most people who kill animals for their fur and skin may think it is no big problem, but it is. They tend to kill these animals to use their skin and fur for fashion. Most animals are not going to let a person walk up on them and take their fur. They feel threatened about it and that gives humans a reason to kill them so the animals can not resist. Numbers indicate that there are millions of animals killed for their fur. According to an animal rights group,“Every year, millions of animals are killed for the clothing industry. Whether they come from Chinese fur farms, Indian slaughterhouses, or Australian outback, an immeasurable amount of suffering goes into every fur-trimmed jacket, leather belt, and wool sweater” (Peta). I think this is wrong because the animals will go extinct and it is cruel to raise an animal in a cage to kill for their fur.
Instead of killing animals for fashion, we can create other ways of keeping warm with technology. For example, people using technology can add a special fiber to fabrics. The fashion industry needs to take a stand against using animal furs and skins to make a profit, because we are killing animals and killing the environment. I believe the fashion industry can still make money for their companies without using animal skins and at the same time it can save the environment.
