The world today has lost a great many animal species to extinction due to the human factor. People poach these animals for their hide and skin to advance the purposes of man and insatiable thirst rich and quality materials.
In a bid to nip this ugly trend in the bud, an animal rights society decided to stage a very strange and odd protest to create awareness on animal cruelty. The protesters stripped naked, lay down in Plaça de Catalunya and covered themselves in fake blood to depict dead and dying animals.
The latest demonstration was part of a campaign to protest the use of fur and leather in consumer goods. Though this practice is illegal but some clothiers still farm animals for their hide.
The protest which happened on December 16, was staged in a busy square in Barcelona. Photographs from the demonstration show the protesters lying motionless on top of one another to resemble dead or dying animals.
The animal rights group claimed that more than 85 percent of fur sold around the world comes from farm facilities where, minks, foxes and other animals are locked in cages for their entire lives before being killed and skinned.
