The Best Thing in the World

What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty,not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Love,when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
-Something out of it, I think.

The Daily Mail recently reported on the bloody reality behind the sadly popular trend in the fashion industry of wearing reptiles skins on the runway, with the headline "Pythons Skinned and Left to Die." The article describes the horrifying procedure as follows:

"Blood-stained hands untie a wriggling sack and pull out a ten-foot long python. The snake is stunned with a blow to the head from the back of a machete and a hose pipe expertly forced between its jaws. Next, the water is turned on and the reptile fills up — swelling like a balloon. … Then its head is impaled on a meat hook, a couple of quick incisions follow, and the now-loosened skin peeled off with a series of brutal tugs."

This horrifying article was enough for me to make a conscious effort to never wear snake skin again, something, although being a huge animal lover and activist, I hadn’t really ever given thought to.

Fake skins are produced so amazingly well these days, it is often a challenge to tell the difference, so before you think about purchasing that snake skin bag or shoes, please consider the unnecessary torture and pain that reptile will experience & buy a fake instead.

Thank you!
