CC: db@dyrenes-beskyttelse.dk, jv@anima.dk Subject : Immediate ban on Denmark's fur industry
Dear...
I am writing today with an urgent request to implement an immediate ban on Denmark's fur production. Fur production is an inherently vicious and cruel industry, subjecting animals to some of the most exploitative, painful, and agonizing conditions. As has been established by the fur farm documentary "Operation X", animals perpetually suffer from painful diseases and neglect; as a final obscenity, they are killed in reprehensible manners including gassing, anal electrocution, and skinning alive, selected to maintain pelt quality. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that any adopted welfare protocols are extraordinarily inadequate, and, as has been demonstrated, are too often ignored due to their cost-prohibitive nature as defined by fur farm owners.
Although corporations employ glossy portraits and energetic runway demonstrations meant to cultivate appeals to vanity or luxury, their actions can no longer be dismissed as justifiable financial strategies. In fact, an ever-growing collective of people are taking a stand against the international fur industry, and contrary to the illusions the fur industry perpetrates, its tools include documented footage, such as indicated above, and photographic proof, evidence that cannot be disregarded.
It is difficult to contemplate supporting any country, via tourism or commerce, that excuses such blatant animal cruelty; financial gain at the expense of empathy towards sentient beings bears no justification: indeed, our shared histories have witnessed significant inequities and judicial sacrifices in the name of profit and greed that today are considered gross offenses. An increasing number of countries are therefore listening to a concerned and attentive population that refuses to be complicit in the inherently malicious industry of fur farming and are taking progressive steps to ban such an uncivilized practice; countries such as Ireland, Italy, and France are all actively engaged in the discontinuation of fur farming.
I hope this letter finds you willing to scrutinize your owninvolvement in the exploitation of animals and your desire to therefore protect, rather than harm, them. Please make the ethical decision to support an immediate ban on Denmark's fur industry.
Sincerely, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject : The rejection of kangaroo meat imports
I am writing to encourage you to continue to reject kangaroo meat imports. Since there is no way that kangaroos can ever be farmed, they will always be exposed to dust, dirt and bacteria as they are shot in the dusty outback at night and, being game meat, many carry exotic diseases. Parasites are rife in kangaroos including nematodes. Some parasites eat muscles and organs. There is no way kangaroo meat can ever be 'clean' meat, no matter what changes the kangaroo industry makes to the way they process the carcases.
Of course Australian kangaroo industry representatives will try to convince you otherwise because it is their agenda to make a profit. These are the people who for decades sold you contaminated meat while saying it was clean. Do you really trust them?
Please read the information collected from government data on how kangaroos are being driven to extinction by this very industry at http://www.stopkangarookilling.org . Does Russia really want to be a major cause of our national icon becoming extinct? With a simple 'No Thanks' to the kangaroo industry, you can do massive good not only for our kangaroos but for the health of your people.
See http://www.nokangaroomeat.org to learn what is wrong with kangaroo meat. I sincerely hope you will study it carefully.
Thanking you,
--------------------------- Subject : Against the presence of fur trims and fur jackets in the collections of Max Mara and the other brands of your company
I send this message to show my support for the campaign against the presence of fur trims and fur jackets in the collections of Max Mara and the other brands of your company.
As you may be aware every year dozens of millions animals are raised in small cages and awful conditions to be skinned and transform their pelts into trims, hats or jackets sold in shops and collections like yours.
There is a growing number of companies and designers refusing to use real fur and i think the same decision is a choice that also Max Mara Fashion Group should consider, to create a fashion free of this appalling cruelty.
Until I will see this ethical decision I will take part in the boycott of all your brands products and shops and will invite all the people i know to do the same.
