The prevalent trend of Animal cruelty in the Textile Industry

18 October 2022, Mumbai:

For apparel and accessories, billions of animals suffer and die every year. Small animals have kept their whole lives before being slaughtered for their fur, birds are held down while having handfuls of feathers pulled out of their delicate skin, and skin is peeled off of them to manufacture leather.

Workers who take the wool and the sheep's skin to make shearling frequently beat and mutilate the animals. The mistreatment of goats for their cashmere and mohair is comparable. The goal of all of this is to be fashionable. No of the source or kind of material, any procedure that uses an animal entails abhorrent cruelty.

PETA for ending the abusive treatment of animals

Thanks to PETA, the custom of wearing items made of animal products is quickly going out of style. Our committed activists and supporters have revealed widespread cruelty in the trades for furs, wool, down, cashmere, and skins (leather). Our investigations into these fields have repeatedly revealed extensive and persistent animal abuse. Our protests and advertisements against these violent industries are renowned for shocking the public, grabbing attention, and spurring action.

We collaborate directly with businesses behind the scenes to convince the biggest names in fashion to stop using materials derived from animals in their clothing. As part of its aggressive campaigns against prestigious brands, PETA has also convinced them to stop using materials derived from animals advocating cruelty-free fashion.

Animal cruelty

Most of the billions of animals murdered for their skin, wool, feathers, or fur face all the horrors of industrial farming. Sensitive living things are deprived of any freedom and autonomy and made to dwell in crowded, unsanitary settings. Workers may rough-handle, kick, and beat animals, causing them pain. After enduring a lifetime of suffering, they are brutally executed using the least expensive methods, such as bludgeoning, anal electrocution, and gassing. Some are even cut up and skinned while still alive. Before trappers come back to kill them, trapped animals exploited for their fur may experience days of blood loss, shock, dehydration, frostbite, and gangrene as well as attacks by predators.

The notion of Ignorance is Bliss

Items made of fur and leather are frequently mislabeled on purpose. Some companies have been known to murder dogs and cats for their hair and leather in nations where animal welfare rules are almost non-existent. You cannot easily identify whose skin you are wearing if you wear clothing made from animals. No matter who they were, you can be certain that they didn't wish to die to become items of clothes or accessories.

Cruelty is out of fashion?

The manufacturing of animal-derived commodities, such as wool, fur, and leather, contributes to climate change, land destruction, pollution, and water contamination in addition to inflicting pain and death on billions of animals every year.

Eco, Vegan-Friendly Apparel/Clothing; Modern textile technology has made environmentally friendly vegan fabrics comparable to and considerably superior to those made from animal products. There is a reason why a number of outdoor apparel slow fashion manufacturers/brands claim to be cruelty-free and have stopped using animal fur. Today's vegan materials are a great deal lighter, more practical, and more durable.
