The foxes used by LV and most other luxury mfrs are bred and slaughtered in China. they are bred in outdoor cages. the electrocution technique (the place the probe into the animal’s rectum, then step on the pedal to send electrical current through its body to stop its heart) for killing is fastest, so they can process more skins per hour. this increases their profits / productivity.
however, it takes electrical current (duh)- which is sometimes an issue if the farms are not wired to a generator etc. many are in rural areas. so they just grab the animal out of the cage, impale it on a meat hook, slit and roll the skin off it while it’s still alive. the still-living carcass, which may be still moving, is thrown into a dumpster with the rest. there are videos of this all over the internet. i’ve written about it for magazines.

the only difference is that meat is food. some people feel that they must have animal protein in order to feel energetic. some parents feel that they need to give their kids some animal protein (egg, cheese) for brain-development and there DOES seem to be some correlation in studies i’ve read, that some animal protein in the diet, when the baby is in utero, and the first few years of life, does seem to bump up IQ scores and cognitive testing.
the leather is a byproduct of the meat industry.
cows are not raised and killed for their leather.
FUR IS ALWAYS RAISED FOR FUR. no one eats foxes. or mink sandwiches.
i do see your point. but an argument can be made that eating the animal is more ethically defensible (as all aboriginal people did) than killing it for its beauty and the pleasure of its skin on yours.

These fox tails are NOT fake.

THEY ARE THE TAILS OF REAL ANIMALS.

they are DYED those cute colors, & you can also find them in natural colors. if you want a real fashion emergency, just go online and google how foxes, minks, sables, etc are “farmed” and how they are killed for their fur (usually electrocuted via the anus).

If people didn’t want to wear fur they wouldn’t be buying the products, and obviously they are; otherwise, why would LV waste their money creating items with fur? In the end, people are going to wear fur because they have been doing it for FOREVER. The best thing to do is accept that fact and, like I said, GET OVER IT!

At first: my english sucks (I’m from Europe)
Only because foxes are wild animals doesn’t mean they have a better live than cows. “Industrial” foxes are dumped in cages. The “farmers” are beating the animals to break their spirit. Like circus-elephants, the foxes begin to move neurotic and repetitive and develop an abnormal behaviour. They can’t even turn themselves, so small is their prison.
Is this cycle required for YOUR fashion addiction? Why not FAKE fur?
And yes, cavemen have been wearing fur too BUT…they had a diferent understanding of mother nature. They were hunting and not collecting x animals to suffer for a reason like being fashionable. How dumb are people.
To everybody who is accepting that crap, please do some research and think about it. Is your look the most important thing in world? MOST PEOPLE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU, and pelts aren’t making you more “kinky” or whatever. Be more creative, think with your own head and ugh, don’t copy that much (in the end, every dumb hipster looks the same – wannabe creative = spoiled and material).
AMEN

I love this bag & charm!!! I think the idea is ingenius and obviously so does the rest of the world since fur is definitely “in” this year. Everywhere I look people are wearing fur. The colours are great! This is a set that will draw a lot of attention to it’s wearer! I agree with the comment if you have a problem with skinning foxes, then you should also have a problem with wearing leather, since cows are killed in the process. Meat is meat. Animals are animals, no matter what level of the food chain they are on. People have been wearing animal skins since the dawn of time….cavemen, Vikings, Romans, Indians….the list could go on & on & on. GET OVER IT!!!!

The fox’s tail is way too big and tacky. You might kill animals for meat (but that’s for survival); however, it is disrespectful and distasteful for you to kill animals to show off. How would you feel or think if an anaimal killed you off and then displayed your head, huh?

Nobody really thinks you are “cool” or “elegant”. They just think you are an overspender who needs to get a self-esteem.

The designer Marc Jacob for Louis Vuttion needs to find better designs. I have several Louis VUitton bags and will think twice when I buy anymore of their items; as for marc jacob, never will I touch any of his items.
