The International Fur Federation recently decided to make claims about animals that are being skinned alive for their skins to supply to the fashion industry. The International Fur Federation revealed that a 2009 video, featuring a raccoon that is skinned live to get its skin, has led to a skin ban in the fashion world. A team of the top lawyers and best media consultants have been brought in to analyze the situation, as per the release.The experts/researchers who were hired by the International Fur Federation (IFF) claimed to have obtained proof regarding the video being a trick. Subsequently, they have come up with and published a documentary to bring forth the possible international conspiracy that has been doing the rounds trying to destroy the reputation of the fur trade.The documentary has been produced by Phil Braund, who is a retired ITV news senior producer in the UK. He has had some of the station’s biggest undercover news in his kitty in a 20-year career span.The 2009 video, titled “A Shocking Look Inside the Chinese Fur Farms,” created widespread public objection and rejection. It also perhaps contributed to the decline in the employment of piles of fur from the most important brands in the fashion industry.“The International Fur Federation now believes that it has “irrefutable evidence” that the act was organized by animal rights activists in a deliberate attempt to potentially damage the industry. IFF claims that its investigators were able to persuade men to confess in the video that they had been bribed by a woman; it is understood that an animal rights activist, to carry out the trick,” says the release.The researchers and experts handed over lawyer affidavits, which IFF believes is condemnatory evidence of a conspiracy to harm their industry.Mark Oaten, CEO of IFF has been quoted as saying, “We have suffered 13 years of loss of prestige against our industry, but we hope we have finished this now, our industry is not ready to sit down and allow these fans to advance through the boardrooms of designers and take prejudice to our business.”“The IFF (International Fur Federation) is the world body that represents associations of all aspects of the skin supply chain and has members in 38 countries around the world. IFF promotes high standards of welfare for the skin of wild and farm animals, assesses the environmental impact of the industry, with a clear code of practice, promoting transparency for consumers and encouraging young people and businesses that wish to enter the sector,” states the release. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
