The Skin Off Their Backs: How the Fashion Industry Brutalizes Animals

The Skin Off Their Backs: How the Fashion Industry Brutalizes Animals. The Jan/Feb 2010 issue of The Animals Voice Magazine presents the first installment of the six overall ways humans use and exploit animals: for fashion. It features a look at the battle to stop the upcoming annual seal hunt in Canada, a profile of slave-turned-activist Frederick Douglass, an exploration of the fur industry and its protesters in the news, a eugology for Daniel Schaull, an article by Gary Francione about "The Abolitionist Approach," and, of course, an overview of the fashion industry, from fur-trapping and fur-farming to sealing to leather and wool and beyond. Plus, the Kingdom Keepers profile features Sally Maughan and her Idaho Black Bear Rehab program.
