Flock of sheep

The issues animals face for clothing 

What are the Issues?

Billions of animals are used by the fashion industry every year. Some are caught from the wild, others are kept in factory farms, suffering fear and pain throughout their lives before being cruelly slaughtered when it’s no longer profitable to keep them alive, or when they are big enough for their skin or fur to be used.
But it 
doesn’t have to be this way.
