Wearing Fox Tails is a Thing… Seriously.
I have been traveling a lot this summer, and on my travels I have noticed a growing fashion trend in major cities. This trend is, wearing fox tails?! Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Kanye West is sporting these tails in the name of “fashion”. I don’t see the appeal, not only do you look like an idiot, but you are killing innocent animals to do so. And don’t be fooled by the clever marketing of these tails, animals die for them. The band, Automatic Loveletter, was selling tails on the Warped Tour and went to the extent of telling us that the animals aren’t slaughtered (Huh?). My only thought was “What, they just fall off? Do they give them to you?”. Here I thought that fur was a dying trend and that most people accept the fact that fur was unnecessary cruelty, then this trend comes out of left field. Here are some facts about fur: Animals are often anally electrocuted, kept in small cramped spaces, they are left outside exposed to the elements, their diseases go untreated and all for something so arbitrary. Please don’t make yourself look like you don’t think or care about animals, don’t buy these foxtails! Also, please take the time to email the clothing retailer Karma Loop and the band Automatic Loveletter and tell them to stop selling these animal’s tails and if you see someone wearing one, kindly remind them that the tail isn’t theirs, it belongs to the animal.
