Vegan Coats

Winter Coats Cruelty: Solutions to the dilemma Vegan

Although it is increasingly easy, as the movement toward cruelty-free dressing is growing to find beautiful, fashionable clothes (in fact, another image consultant (non-vegan) recently complimented me on my style (vegan, of course) boots), find an attractive dress with a certain degree of heat is always lagging. Yes, Gen-Y have no problem because they are often the love of fashion, looking more relaxed. But for Gen-X and baby boomers, the pickings are slim!

Before you give some suggestions, I know that for some people the idea that the wool to wear something to be concerned at all is a foreign concept. What is cruel sheep shearing, you might ask? Oh, my God, where do I begin ... Firstly, a large majority of the wool we carry is merino wool from Australia (they did a great job marketing it high quality). Unfortunately, they are known to use a procedure on sheep known as "mulesing". Because the merino sheep were bred to have more wrinkles than expected, they have constant problems with fly infestations of their interfaces, which can cause infection and often death. Thus, without the aid of anesthesia, farmers cut the skin of the sheep behind ends to smooth the surface and reduce the potential for "fly strike."

With all those wrinkles in their skin, you can also imagine the horrors that abound when they are sheared and the velocity is expected. Finally, they end up at slaughter (it's a long terrible story about how they get there) than meat. Thus, there you go, the brutally short explanation!

For these reasons and others that vegans, who are committed to live humanely, avoid wool.
