Southfield, Michigan. – To help orphans, widows and others in need get through the long snowy winters in Afghanistan, PETA has teamed up with Southfield-based Life for Relief and Development to distribute over 150 fur coats – all donated to PETA by people who have a shift in attitudes towards wearing ethics animals. More photos can be found here.
“The constant flow of fur coats into PETA offices shows that most people in America have stopped wearing fur,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “While PETA cannot bring back animals that have been electrocuted, gassed, or even skinned alive to make coats, we can use furs to help those with few options in life.”
“We appreciate the donation of the fur coats that PETA sent to Life for distribution in Afghanistan,” says Life for Relief and Development CEO Dr. Hani Sakr. “[T]The people who received the coat are very grateful. “
The Animal Rights Group notes that most of the animals used to make fur spend their entire lives in cramped cages on fur farms, where they frantically circle around, gnaw on bars and maim themselves with severe psychological stress before being killed. Animals trapped in nature can suffer for several days before trappers arrive to shoot them, beat them to death, or kill them in some other cruel way.
PETA – whose motto is in part that “the animals are not ours” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human excellence. Its fur donation program also sends unwanted furs to homeless and wildlife rehab programs (for use as bedding for orphaned animals) and uses them in information displays.
