Confronting a Fur-Wearer

For many people, being an animal rights activist is hard. Many activists don't like making others feel guilty or uncomfortable, but sometimes you need to be a voice in defense of those who do not have a voice.
Usually, I start by asking if its real fur.. Then usually explain politely yet firmly mention that the animals who are bred in the fur industry are kept in deplorable conditions and are anally electrocuted and then encourage them to donate their coat to homeless people (who are the only people who have an excuse to use a fur to keep warm, as they are unable to purchase coats for themselves) or just say, "Shame. You won't need it in hell."

It is suggested to keep stickers and leaflets in your coat pockets. Often when on the go and just briefly whisking by someone in a fur, you only have time enough to hand them a leaflet. Do be sure to fold the leaflet so that an image of a skinned animal is not the first thing they see, as they will be unlikely to take it from you. There are plenty of beautiful and warm alternatives to fur. Encourage these alternatives.

The world is in danger, we need to be its superheroes.
