Skinz

About the Book

The Fourth Seal … and when I had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say “Come and see,” And I looked and behold a running pale dead animal. And the name of he who sat on the animal … was Death, and Hell followed … them. And power was given unto them over the four parts of the earth, to kill with the beasts of the earth … —From the Book of Revelation Animals that have been skinned for their furs are coming back to life and skinning the people wearing their furs! Animals have been hunted and killed for thousands of years. They were part of God’s food chain and kept everyone alive. For the last one hundred years, furs have become charmingly fashionable; and now animals are skinned for just their furs. Their bloody remains and bodies are left to rot. Skinz follows the lives and family stories of furry animals that ultimately end up being skinned for their pelts to create coats for undeserving humans. Integrating real facts with their stories, Stevens paints a realistic picture of the torture that the animals experience in the creation of these garments. Now it’s the animals’ turn to repay mankind … and they’re pissed!
