Think Twice


You picture the fur coat on your body.

You think it makes you look and feel beautiful.

But I think it looks way better on that cheetah.

 

You decide to look at the piece tag with your eyes half closed.

Knowing that this luxurious coat is expensive.

But then you remember how beautiful the spots are against your skin.

 

Would you still buy that coat if you knew how that cheetah really died?

He was hunted for days and then shot twice.

Because the first shot didn't kill him instantly.

 

His fur was covered by a blanket of red.

Im sure you wouldn't find that beautiful.

 

I hope you think twice before buying the coat.

Just think about what happened

in order for you to wear that coat.
