Industry Debate: Fake Fur Is Also A Desire.

Controversy 1 is it acceptable to keep fur?

Zheng Fang: a famous fur entrepreneur in China said that the normal range of animal protection is to protect the rare wild animals prescribed by law in various countries, but 85% of the world's fur materials are raised and not cruelly killed.

Some Western designers say that they have inspected the production chain and considered that the production process is in line with specifications and not bloody.

Fur farming is a part of animal husbandry.

For example, sheep breeding will bring food and clothing materials to humans. Mink and fox breeding can provide fur fabrics for people. It is no different from human daily breeding of chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and other livestock. It is an indispensable part of human biological chain.

So raising is acceptable.

The opposite: many rearing fur is not for animal welfare, but for fur.

Animal feeding, pportation and slaughtering are all very cruel.

For example, there are three ways of slaughtering: injection, neck breaking and inhalation of carbon monoxide. Although many manufacturers claim that animals will die within 30 seconds, animal protection organizations still believe that the main starting point of these methods is how to better acquire and preserve animal fur.

Many cruel massacres often occur in front of the same animals, causing the animals to accept the same massacre when they are miserable.

Controversy 2 fake fur is humane?

Square: since we all think fur is cruel, we use fake grass instead of real fur.

This is just an artificial fur, not involving cruelty to animals.

The opposite side: we are worried that the fake grass will bring a signal that it is acceptable to fur.

More importantly, many surveys have found that a lot of "fake fur" is actually true.

The Humane Society for animals has investigated many similar cases and found that the "fake fur" products marked in the United States often contain fur from cats, dogs and raccoons.

The latest survey by Israel against animal abuse society and the international fur alliance shows that the fake leather sold in Israel has been shown to contain fur from dogs and rabbits.

In fact, we think that the warmth retention function of fur is very easy to find a substitute.

Such as cotton or assault clothing and so on, the price is low, but does not involve animal cruelty.

Controversy 3 fur industry is harmless to the environment?

Zheng Fang: a famous fur entrepreneur in China thinks that fur production is environmentally friendly because the chemical constituents of fur are water (30%~50%), protein (55%~75%), fat (2%~20%), inorganic salt and carbohydrate (<2%).

So a fur coat buried in the ground can be completely degraded in a month.

The opposite side: whether it is genuine or fake fur, the production process will bring environmental pollution.

For example, when dyeing, formaldehyde, chromium and other harmful chemicals are introduced. In 1991, the US Environmental Protection Agency imposed a $2 million 200 thousand fine on fur manufacturer New Jersey for dumping large quantities of sewage.

According to a survey conducted by the Asian animal foundation, the consumption of fur is greater than that of capturing wild animals for fur.

Pink works with Ricky GERVAIS: in 30 seconds of TV commercials, Grammy winning singers and super comedians play the skinned crocodile and the rabbit who had been stolen from their coat. They asked a pair of couples who were picking up leather bags and leather jackets from the cloakroom to have their own skin, RICKY.

As Pink of crocodiles says, no matter how much money people spend on animal fur and accessories, animals have "paid more!"

I think this is actually a question of values.

It is a person who thinks leather is valuable and he yearns for it.

Then if you want to suppress him, you tell him you don't wear this. First, he can't accept it, even if he accepts it, he is forced.

So many people change to fake grass now.

But personally, I think using fake fur is actually a tough job.

Why do you use fake fur? Because you like fur, and then under pressure and public opinion, you can't use real fur instead of fake fur.

Of course, this is also a choice. The fake grass is better than the real fur, but I don't think it is a final attitude.

The ultimate attitude is that I should use some natural harmless materials.

In fact, I especially hope that there will be more designers or suppliers of raw materials to develop some natural materials with different texture and environmental protection.

Then the whole environment has changed the values of life. For example, we all feel natural, such as cotton, organic cotton, or other advanced natural materials. This is the advanced one, so I think the whole trend will change.

I think these can really progress, otherwise it is not a very fashionable change to always copy fur, or hide the yearning of fur.

No matter what the trend this year or next year, I am against wearing real fur.

But many stars, I think they are wearing fake grass, because everyone knows that the real fur is of course not.

I am very cold, but my family lives on the mountain. It's cold. So I can't help it. I need a lot of warm clothes.

My shoes are also covered with fur.

But I don't wear real fur. Since fake fur can also keep warm, why kill innocent lives?

However, if someone is not satisfied with the fake grass, it seems unnecessary to me.

There are many arguments about fur.

My point of view is to start from the needs of mankind rather than from the trend or vanity.

If it's just for the sake of goodwill, wearing a fur on hot days is unnecessary vanity.

If you are afraid of cold, there is no way, then wear fake fur and wear warm hair shoes.

I am now working as a public welfare female website for "sister Tao". I often discuss with many netizens about many social issues of women.

I find that people have no standard answers to many questions, and they do not necessarily say that they must accept their own views, or even completely one-sided views.

For example, the topic of "husband and wife three people" has aroused heated debate in the society. Originally I thought a topic of one side, and it turned out that the number of the two sides of the two sides was almost the same.

So I think, for some controversial issues, we should not be too strict with others on the bottom line.

Opposition!

No matter whether it is genuine or fake, it is not.

The production process of the fur industry is rather cruel. The conditions for animals to be kept, pported and slaughtered are very bad. Evidence shows that many animals are skinned alive.

Brutal slaughter often occurs before the eyes of the same animals, so that animals can accept the same massacre with no help.

As for "fake fur," the humane treatment society of the United States has investigated many similar cases and found that the "fake fur" products marked in the United States often contain fur from cats, dogs and raccoons.

In a recent survey by Israel's Association against animal abuse and the international fur alliance, it was found in Israel's "fake fur" that it contained dog and rabbit fur.

Generally speaking, German shepherds and other long haired dogs are especially popular because their fur is similar to that of wild animals.

The Humane Society of America estimates that at least two million domestic dogs and cats are killed every year in China to get fur.

A British conservation animal group estimated that at least 500 thousand short haired cats were raised in China for the purpose of providing fur.

In many Asian countries, there is no law prohibiting the raising and killing of animals for fur.

In the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and the European Union countries, the import and trade of commodities with cat and dog fur have been banned.

The EU has banned import and export of cat and dog fur products since January 2009.

We do not think fur is a fashionable benchmark. Its production process produces a lot of pollution to the environment, no matter whether it is genuine or fake fur.
