Hi 👋,
I'm in the Lanzarote at the moment. Whilst over here, I've seen and felt some accessories (e.g handbag accessories) that I feel are very likely to have real fur. I have also seen sheepskin/other animals' skins here.
Real fur can come from either trapping or fur farming. In fur farming, animals such as rabbits 🐰, raccoons 🦝, minke and foxes 🦊 may be kept in cruel conditions in cages, only to be killed by lethal injection, neck-breaking, beating, poisoning or gassing for their fur. In fur trapping, cruel traps may be set out in the animals' natural habitats, for a poor animal to come along and step on it, setting it off. The trap may then injure the animal, maybe breaking bones. The animal may then suffer in agony for hours or days until the trapper comes and kills them, sometimes by suffocation. The animal may also be hungry and/or thirsty before they are killed. Some animals die due to starvation, illness, infection and/or predation before they are found. Any dependent young of any female animal that are trapped stand little to no chance of survival if they are not found.
This is absolutely UNNACCEPTABLE, just for handbag accessories and to look "good" on restaurant seats. Why should any animal be killed just for their skin to be used for handbag accessories, especially when there are many, many faux fur alternatives to these?
Please, please, please ban all unnecessary cruelty towards and killing of animals for their fur, and all import and sale of real fur, in Spain 🇪🇸 and other Spanish countries (e.g Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Mallorca, Menorca and all others).
We are all opposed to unnecessary violence towards all sentient beings and want the skin trades banned in Spain 🇪🇸 and all Spanish countries.
