They Defend Animal Cruelty: Don't Let Them Win

By Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States

I’ve written before about the phony Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF).

In its early years, CCF made money as a front group for Big Tobacco, the alcohol industry, and other corporations working against public health. In recent years, CCF has expanded its business model to represent factory farmers, seal clubbers, cockfighters, and puppy millers.

The so-called Center for Consumer Freedom wants to stop us from protecting animals. Will you let them? Please donate today The Humane Society of the United States is now CCF’s number one target. A couple weeks ago, CCF assailed our humanitarian relief mission in Haiti, despite the remarkable work of our people on the ground. Now, these animal cruelty apologists say they will step up their attacks on us this week.

The Truth About the Exotic Skins in your Closet.

Think you'd look cool in that leather jacket? How cool would you feel if you knew that you could be wearing the skin of baby goats—or even the skin of a dog? Millions of animals— including zebras, bison, water buffaloes, boars, deer, kangaroos, elephants, eels, sharks, dolphins, seals, walruses, frogs, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes—are slaughtered every year for the global leather industry.

A large percentage of imported crocodile shoe leather and other items made from wildlife come from endangered, illegally hunted animals. Humane treatment is not a priority among poachers and hunters who deal in the dirty exotic-leather trade. Many animals are boiled and skinned alive just so that others can wear their skins.

The world is brimming with viable, fashionable alternatives to animal skins. Compassionate companies, such as H&M and Overstock.com, have agreed not to sell exotic skins and, in doing so, have sent a clear message that they are not and will never be involved with the barbaric exotic-skins industry.
