Introducing.....Coony

This is Coony, Conny incase you havent already noticed is a racoon. He's here to give us an insight into the world of debate and politics surronding the issues of fur and skins being used for the fashion industry. This is because Coony is grey and his tail is black and white, meaning he gives us an equal and honest opinion about whatever it is being talked about.
Racoons are used for the fashion industry for their fur. Raccoons can be recognized by their beautiful eyes, which are outlined by a black mask of fur. They have thick, fuzzy brown-gray fur, and highly sensitive ears tufted with white fur. Those who live in humid, dense forests have darker fur than those in arid climates, where raccoon fur is a lighter, reddish color. Their bushy tails keep them balanced and stores fat during winter months, while their front limbs provide them with great manual dexterity.
Raccoons' lives are often cut short by cruel humans who covet their fur. Like foxes, raccoons are hunted by starved dogs and often suffer in steel-jaw traps, where they endure hours of agony before they are killed—or chew an arm or leg off in an effort to escape.
