Sherri Shepherd “The View” Fur Catastrophe (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on November 13th, 2009 in Fur, TV Hosts.

Just when we thought The View was cool for giving out vegan bags.

Sherri Shepherd came out of the fur closet this Tuesday on the daytime talk show to model a full length fur coat!

What’s even worse, Shepherd was laughing and joking about it.

There’s absolutely nothing funny about killing an animal, electrocuting it and sometimes even skinning it alive to obtain it’s coat in the vain name of fashion.

And it took more than a handful of animals to make Sherri’s coat.

A Scent of Scandal owner Ari Solomon wrote on Girliegirlarmy.com:

“It takes 40 minks to make one fur coat like the one Ms. Shepherd wore on the show. These animals are kept in cages so small they literally go insane from running around in circles. Animals that are caught in the wild have their limbs clamped shut in iron traps. They are sometimes left for days bleeding, freezing and starving, often trying to chew off their own limbs, desperately trying to escape. When “fur animals” are slaughtered, they are killed by being vaginally or anally electrocuted. On some farms their heads are simply slammed against concrete floors. All this barbarity is so that their fur doesn’t get damaged. Sometimes it takes two or three electrocutions/head slammings before the animal dies. Even then, some survive and are skinned alive. Isn’t that luxurious, something to laugh about?”

It’s time Ms. Shepherd educate herself and take on another view about using fur for fashion.
