1000 Flowers for the Planet - #635 Avoid Chinchilla
Chinchillas
are beautiful little furry creatures that have been trapped for their magnificent
soft fur ever since ancient times, but they are being sent into extinction. The
fur of the chinchilla is extremely soft and dense, making it a valuable
commodity commercially, but the textile world will be the end of the species
unless people avoid any items made from chinchilla fur. Apart from the threat
produced by the textile industry, mankind is also encroaching on the habitat of
these creatures in the wild, contributing further to their plight. Sadly, because they are so cute and
incredibly wonderful to touch, people are keeping them as pets, which only adds
to the depletion of their numbers in the wild. Let’s keep these creatures as
part of the ecosystem and let them live in peace where they are meant be – in the
wild.
