Animal Cruelty in the Fashion Industry

As a designer, I love to be able to create with different things, share beauty and see beautiful smiles on people's faces when something I have created with my mere hands brings them a little sunshine. Now, as a human being I know that I should share the love, peace and well being with every creature that roams this Earth.

My question is: Why should you have a killer dress when you have to kill?

I've never agreed with animal cruelty, I do not believe one needs to become a predator and hunt for skins if our superior intelligence has blessed us with methods of creating synthetic fibers and such.

I'd like to share this video with you all, truly something that touched both my sister and me. See animal cruelty in it's biggest manifestation. I hope it sheds some light and changes your ways of thinking. Please check this video out: click here!

Tell me what you think! Are you a fan of animal rights or not?
