WHY MY TOPIC IS PETA


My topic is PETA because I think that humans should stop using animals fur for coats, shoes, etc. For those of you who don't know what PETA stands for, it means People for the Ethnical Treatment of Animals. PETA is an animal rights organization based in the United States. With 1.8 million members and supporters, PETA claims to be the largest animal rights group in the world.
I think what they're protesting for is right. Animals don't deserve to be treated the way they are now. For humans behavior many animals are extinct and soon there might not be enough animals in the world. Many innocent animals are killed for clothing which many people cant afford.

I never really put much attention how innocent animals are tortured to death. In order to keep the fur looking nice, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Imagine seeing that with your own eyes and hearing them cry and those innocent eyes just staring at you. Also animals in fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods may not be effective and sometimes animals wake up while being skinned. It's sad because when animals are trapped they know where they're going and sometimes they kill themselves by chewing of their legs and bleeding to death.

I don't think that my blog is going to decrease the death of innocent animals. But I want to demonstrate what PETA is doing and what are they trying to accomplish and what should be accomplished. Maybe somebody who reads this blog can become a member for PETA and realize how innocent animals are tortured in fur farms and realize that they also have feelings.
