My Speech

Did you know that 23 species of animals are turned into skin a million times a year? Today I'm going to tell you about why we should stop animal skinning NOW. If you keep listening I will tell you about how there is no point in it, how animals are endangered because of it and how we can stop it.

Do you ever think of why people skin animals?  Well, people actually skin animals for the pleasure and the money - that means there is no real point to it. Animals are skinned so that we have bags, shoes, jackets, wooly jumpers, and childrens’ toys. Also did you know that they skin animals alive? Plus 500 cats and dogs are illegally killed each day in Japan. There is fake fur available so why are we harming animals when we could be using that instead.

Animals are endangered because of horrid animal skinning. More than half of real fur clothes are made in China where people sometimes buy land to skin animals. These farms are called fur farms and are terrible. In these so called fur farms they rub chilli peppers and tobacco in the animals eyes before skinning them so that the animals can't see anything. Do you like llamas? Well even they are skinned for our clothes. But we can stop it! Even more horrible things happen to harmless animals every day. Just like how goats are sold for slaughter after they have been skinned. Plus 3,000 silkworms are skinned for every pound of silk each day.

Now that you know about animal skinning and the effect on animals, I’m going to tell you how we can stop it. Stop buying animal  clothing and accessories for the sake of animals. Please go to Peta.org where you can donate money to stop it. Tell your friends to be fur free. Last of all follow the Peta campaign ‘skinned alive’ on facebook so you can learn more.

Now you have heard my reasons I urge you to stop this. Do every thing you can to end this terrible thing that is happening. Stop animal skinning!!!
