GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

PELAJE / FOURRURE = “FUR” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the ethical treatment of our furry friends in nature.

Historically animal pelts (the fur and skin of an animal that has passed away) played a major role in our countries development as we know it today.

Previous to what is now called The United States of America the same land was home to many Native American tribes that have been highlighted previously right here on this blog.

Some of the people that found themself arriving to America previous to the land being recognized as America were explorers representing those seeking new land with various motivations from places like France, Spain, and England even though Native Americans were already established here but had no unified representation of all those who lived here or even a common language.

The land (modern day America) had an abundant wildlife population that once known by those with the ability to travel here to hunt animals for the fur became a desireable location for those that traded pelts as a form of currency like how we use the U.S. Dollar. (USD).

Animal fur was something that brought representatives from various nations to this land and was one of the reasons Native Americans begin to learn English in order to be able to trade for things not available in America at the time with the readily available furs that were used as a part of their life.

Although there were those that were not after the animal for its fur but it’s meat and would not waste the fur or even bones by making clothing and tools which were a part of survival, there were also some that hunted animals for the fur alone.

The fur trade played a role in nations trading with the native population of America however it also led to over hunting and fur specific hunting that does not honor the animal but is taking the life of an animal for a reason outside of an absolute necessity of survival.

The animals were not shown the respect they deserve by hunting them in a time that clothes were now manufactured in ways that did not require the utilization of fur and loss of life as opposed to early ancestors using fur for a lack of any other practical options with the technology and resources that were available at the time especially in cold climate regions.

The fur trade was now something that did not represent a symbol as an extension of survival but a symbol of economic value as if it were gold. This tipping point is where I believe the disrespect for animals began.

I support the ethical treatment of animals and fur is still present in fashion today but it is not likely the fur of an animal but a material crafted to look like fur often referred to as “faux fur or fake fur”.

It is rare that somebody would feel comfortable these days wearing fur in America with so many options available that would not require the death of an animal.

I am still evolving with my approach to animal products like meat and leather. I have not bought leather in years and I seek ethical farm raised meat when possible.

I am using the practice of fur trading as an example of the growth humans have had when it comes to how we interact with our furry friends here in America.

The idea that something that played a huge part of the establishment of our country as we know it today is now a practice that is no longer done for reasons that reflect our desire not to harm but protect wildlife and not treat animals as a resource shows a positive example of the growth had as people of this land and as fellow members of the animal kingdom.
