According to Stram, from the time the turkey eggs are hatched, the birds are treated very cruelly. There's no regard for the well-being of the animal. It's called factory farming. Equally appalling to the treatment of livestock, Stram says, is the treatment of animals bred for their fur. You have animals that are raised in wire cages.
Leather is somebody's skin or a by-product of somebody's skin.
Another technique fur breeders employ is the use of traps. The traps are of an indiscriminate nature. They are huge, steel and barbaric. One way Stram uses to help people understand the animal abuse is by asking them to think about their own pets being subjected to painful lab experiments or being killed in the slaughterhouse. Stram said part of what the OCPA is about is having compassion.
