Today, the debate over animal rights is widely spread around the world. A lot more leather and fur companies found the business over making clothes from real animal skin, very beneficial for making a lot of money. Usually, those companies follows fashion and demands of famous people because they can bring the companies a lot of money. Therefore, many non famous people look up to the famous ones and see that they wear expensive fur on their jackets. So, this becomes a huge demand in 21st century. However, there are people who would not wear fur and leather because they stand for the animal rights. The debate whether we should put animals through misery in order to make fashionable and expensive clothes to feel more "sexy", became a sensitive question among people. I think animals should take place in our world not as equal to us but as a kingdom which is the most close to ours. That means we should respect them and satisfy their needs as much as they satisfy ours. The business that deals with making real animal fur and leather became such a good deal today. The companies that work in this business became very popular because the demand for real leather and fur has increased. This demand increased due to the fact that so many famous people wants to wear it. They have a lot of money, so they usually do not care about how much they will spend on clothes and they especially do not care how that clothes is made . Many of them want to look fashionable, to show the world that they are not just ordinary people. According to this fact they wanted to wear something unique. Clothes made from fashionable fur and leather made famous people look special and glamorous. Wearing clothes made from animals determines people's status because it is very expensive. These clothes are expensive because it require one to kill an animal. Killed animals need to go through a huge process till the actual clothes are made. According to Minnesota Historical Society article, an animal when dies, her skin starts decomposing, so in order to keep the skin valuable for using it for making clothes it needs to go through a huge amount of chemical processes. In this article it is briefly explained that the blood in animal body will be withdrawn after it dies, in 24h so the companies need to work quickly and efficiently to make this skin or fur valuable right after the animal dies. The people who are wearing this type of expensive clothing, usually do not think about how the clothes are made. The only thing that they care about when they go to shopping is to be expensive because only if they see that the clothes are expensive it means that it is real. This way of thinking makes people think real animal fur is better. This results in many people not caring about how their clothes are made or whether some animal is killed for it. They only care about other people's opinions and how they will be presented to the world. Sometimes this does not mean that they would not change their mind when they find out the exact process of how their beautiful jacket is made. The fact is that many people care about wearing expensive fur and leather and this is why this business brings so much money to the companies. On the other hand, there are people who care so much about animal rights. For these people clothes are something that do not determine someone's status. The only thing that determines status is the actions that someone make, the goals that someone achieves, and how successful someone really is. As there are a lot of people who care to wear real leather and fur, there are as many people who care about those poor animals. For instance, PETA organization is strongly against torturing and killing animals. This organization fights against unethical treatment of animals. They stand for the animals and they are trying to find as many evidences as possible to show people what the industries of leather and fur really do. On their website, in the article "PETA does not support violence" they showed the pictures of how they cut cattle's hoofs while they are still alive. From these pictures we can see that PETA organization did a good job presenting what leather and fur companies really do to the animals. The pictures shows that the workers in these companies leave the animals in the cage to suffer for a couple of days so they can kill them and use the other parts of, more specifically in this case it was a cattle's body. This sounds extremely cruel, but it is nothing compared to how they really torture all those animals. The PETA organization witnessed many examples similar to this one and when they presented it to the people on their website as well as with many demonstrations on the streets, PETA started to fight even more for the animal rights. There are a lot of products that can be made for the animal body. Since we placed ourselves at the top of the food chain, we eat animals. According to the fact that we consider ourselves the most powerful creatures in the planet Earth, there are still people who care about animals enough not to partake in eating them, especially not using their body parts for making clothes. Those people who do not eat meat are called vegetarians. According to "Vegetarianism and virtue" by Nathan Nobis, those people believe that we should not eat meat and that poor animals should not be killed because of it. The people called vegetarians follow different rules and moral means believe and follow those rules without an exception. In my opinion, this is absurd because we need to survive also. I am aware that we do not need meat to survive, but it contains a lot of vitamins and chemicals that we need to perform well in our lives. We have one life to live and should not waste it to feel sorry for the animals, but on the other hand I do not think they should be killed for making clothes. Food is something that human species need, but clothes and worrying about being the most famous girl in the neighborhood, is not necessary. The debate over animal rights turned into demonstrations because people who stand for the animals wanted to stop the unethical treatment of animals in the country. As the organization that supports the animal rights became more known, more people joined so they have many more supporters. They think that torturing animals by any means, should be stopped. They showed the world many disturbing pictures and videos about how those companies really work. Animals were slaughtered, skinned, tortured, and we can clearly see the pain in their eyes, asking for help. I was wondering how a human can be that evil and heartless to do such thing, so I made myself watch one of the videos. It was so stressful that I could not sleep that night. That look in their eyes, and that voice full of pain left a scar in my heart. I really do not understand how people can work in those companies. Yes, we need animals for food, but I will never understand how people can kill them. On the other side, there are people who thinks that humans are the only species in the world that have rights. According to the government, "humans kill animals for food and use the other non eatable parts to make coats, fur, leather etc." The government also think that we should use animals for testing because we will never find out the cure for some terrible human diseases, such as cancer. The most common animals used for testing are rats and mice. We can see them and work with them in our biology lab as students. There are also many bugs that we test, but insects are different. They are the most widespread kingdom in the world, so a lot of people do not feel sorry for them. However, mammals are much precious because they are bigger, and they have many human like qualities. According to the article "Are animals equal?" by Katie Monagie, many people think the animals should not have rights because they do not speak. Also, they do not have developed brains like ours, so they cannot think and speak as we do. This fact says that we cannot be equal. In my opinion, the fact that animals cannot speak and think as we can, does not mean that we need to torture them and use them for some crazy experiments that makes them suffer and die. In Monagie's article she explains many perspectives about animal rights saying that "we are smart enough to make fake animals and practice medicine on them." By knowing that we can make something that can be used instead of killing an animal, something that might feel even better, makes us really selfish. We can make fake fur and leather that feels even better that the one made from a real animal. Clearly, we do not need to torture animals for something that we can make even better. In leather and fur companies, the procedure that needs to be done for making clothes is really long, painful, and stressful to watch. Depending on what type or shape, leather or fur needs to be, the companies keep the animals in different cages. They raise animals in uncomfortable cages and they actually torture them before they even start the worst part. The PETA organization presented on their website many videos that shows all those poor cows, cattles, foxes and many others, locked in really small cages that they cannot even make a full turn around themselves. From watching those videos everyone could see in their eyes how desperate they were to escape. After a little while, they just come down and start squealing and crying. It was so obvious how helpless and desperate they looked. The next part is when people who work at the company come to the cage and an animal looked so excited like the man is going to rescue her. But this was the most painful part. The man took a sweet little fox to some table where all around was blood, and he was skinning her while she was still conscious. In that moment I stopped the video. I could not watch and hear the squealing. It was too stressful and I could not handle it anymore. After the workers in leather and fur companies do the slaughtering, skin and fur needs to go through a number of chemical procedures until it reaches a desirable material. It is very clear that the skin from an animal is not their skin anymore. It went through so many chemicals and machines that it has lost the real structure. In the Minnesota Historical Society website they gave detailed explanation about the skin and its content. According to Minnesota Historical Society article "the skin is a huge organ and it contains polymers which gives the skin elasticity. Those polymers are really long chemical chains and if they do many procedures on it, the skin loses its natural elasticity." As the article further says, the hair from the skin has been removed by chemical and physical procedures. There are many different types of skin depending on an animal. Also, to make good waterproof clothes, they usually use a mixture of animal brains to chemically stabilize the skin. There are so many types and so many different procedures that it takes to make the clothes. There are many details and chemical procedures that I feel like they invented a whole new science. According to "The Fur Flies As Fashion Foes Pelt It Out Over Animal Right" by Cyndee Miller, the business in making leather an fur is pretty new discovery. Since this article is from 1989, we can see that this business was popular around fifty years. In last century, science improved tremendously as well as new ideas of fashion and peoples morals. People need money and they will find ways to make business that will bring them money. Even then, in 1989 there was demonstrations against unethical animal treatment but as years were passing this business became more popular. People became heartless and selfish. The leather and fur companies, not only hazards animals, it also makes a huge hazard to the environment. According to the "Wool, Fur, and Leather: Hazardous to the Environment" article, the companies makes a number of hazards to the environment. The worldwide PETA organization, in this article gave detailed explanation of how the companies harms the environment. The buildings where they work are very harmful for the nature around. The article says that fur industries are causing pollution of a nearby streams and creek. There are a lot of processes of slaughtering, the animal waste, chemical procedures, trapping, drying, cleaning and so on, in these industries and that causes the pollution. The smell itself causes a lot of trouble for the nature around the building. The real fur is only real when is it on the animals and they need it more than we do. These procedures in the industries causes more hazard then we think they do. The debate over animal rights became sensitive question among people because they are willing to fight for what they believe it is right thing to do. Many people think that torturing animals to make fur and leather should not be legal, but on the other hand there are many people who thinks that it is normal and that we eat animals everyday so it is not bad to use their fur and leather. I think animals should take place in our world not as equal to us but as a kingdom which is the most close to ours. That means we should respect them and satisfy their needs as much as they satisfy ours. Almost all the families have their own pet. We cannot imagine how we will live without the animals. In my country there are many people who have cows, chicken, pigs and sheep as their pets in the backyard. People in ancient history killed animals to survive but today the world is different. We can satisfy our needs without hurting anyone, but half of the planet thinks the other way, so those people who fight for the animal rights cannot do much.
