Their Clothes Or Ours?
The beautiful people, will all be there
And the crowded audience, will gulp and stare
As beguiling bodies, both tall and slim
With swinging hips and long of limb
Strut their stuff, for all to see
And the onlookers, will gasp with glee
As they flaunt designer’s brand new styles
With made up faces and lipstick smiles
White teeth flash and long lashes blink
And on the catwalk, they turn and slink
To change their coats, made of seals
Long enough, to touch their heels
Into stoles of dogs and cats
Along with their fox skin hats
Raccoon tails, adorn leather belts
And soft fur shawls, from rabbit’s pelts
And then the latest trend of all
Is the small mink, tennis ball
Charm, to hang from any bag
Which comes with a pricey tag
This is all in the name of fashion
Do we really have no compassion
For all those animals, in misery confined
Is this the unthinking of mankind?
Fifty million animals, are killed each year
For coats, accessories and head gear
Raised on farms, behind bars they’re trapped
How on earth, can they adapt?
Forced to live, in space so small
Circling around, from wall to wall
Repetitive behaviour, drives them insane
Suffering in silence, with their pain
They chew their limbs, as they pace the floors
With frightened eyes and covered in sores
Until such time, as then they’re killed
And for their fur, their blood is spilled
Or they’re poisoned, or alive they’re skinned
And their innocent carcasses, are just binned
For one fur coat, it needs forty mink
Are we so ignorant and we not think?
Is the fashion industry, so out of touch
They think we all desire, so much
To dress ourselves, with their hide
And wear it with no sin, but pride?
This is not only, just the concern
Of animal activists, we should all learn
That this abhorrent industry, has to be stopped
With archaic attitudes, that must be dropped
There are a few, that have proved their worth
And understand their responsibility on earth
Like Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein
This is not their fashion line
Vivienne Westwood and Armani too
Are welfare conscious, with a view
That to create new designs, for their brand
They need to lead and make a stand
There are others too, I could mention here
That have chosen, to make it clear
That fur free fashion, is the way
Because the innocent, can’t have their say.
Couldn’t agree more with these words. Having never worn fur & never would, there’s only one thing that looks good in fur, and that’s the creature itself.

The sin and murder that we commit in the name of fashion is abhorrent. We must stop this barbaric cruelty of poor defenceless animals. The words in this blog transmit the pain that is inflicted by mankind and must cease.

The sentiments in this blog, cleverly set to rhyme, help to reinforce the growing movement against this cruel trade, that massages the arrogant and the narcissistic.
