The topic that I will be conducting my Op-Ed piece/Opinion Essay is, should wearing Animal fur be banned? What I learned after doing my research is that Factories that manufacture these products are highly toxic to the environment. On top of that, the treatment of animals and breeding of animals that give the best quality are to be put under horrendous living conditions. Lastly, millions of animals are just slaughtered in order to be turned into someone’s coat or scarf. Even though animal fur can be used as insulation for harsh cold weather, there are other alternatives that people can use, which is using different materials like faux fur. Where I stand within this topic is that I Believe that we should ban wearing animal fur all together.
Questions: How much do people get paid to do this type of dirty work? Can there be another alternative for fur? Is society what pushes other people to buy fur?
Mary- This sounds focused and clear. If you have enough information, you might consider having Op-Ed whose purpose is to show that the reasons for not wearing fur go beyond the cruelty to animals. You could still point that out but then go on to explain that people don’t realize all the other problems with the industry. Maybe. It is just a suggestion to help you think about how to focus and organize your Op-Ed.
