It is not always practical or financially possible to replace

替換掉所有過去購買的動物製品

every non- Vegan product that has already been purchased

有時並不實際，經濟上可能也不允許

The damage has already been done once the product is bought

畢竟購買當下，傷害已經造成

But once you deeply connect with Veganism,

不過你若深深認同純素主義

it often becomes uncomfortable to wear clothing made from animals

穿戴動物製成的服飾往往會變得不太自在

And as clothing becomes old and worn out,

而這些服飾一旦被穿壞

you have a responsibility to replace all products with more ethical ones

你便有責任替換掉它們，選購更人道的產品

The main industries which use animals for clothing are the

用動物製成服飾的主要幾個產業分別為：

fur, leather, wool, down and silk industries

皮草、皮革、羊毛、羽絨和蠶絲業

Most animals used for fur live and die on fur farms

作為皮草用的動物一輩子幾乎都被關在養殖場

Animals like mink, rabbits and foxes are kept in small cages

這些動物包含水貂、兔子和狐狸，全被囚禁在窄小的籠內

which cause a lot of physical and emotional stress

令牠們身心承受極大的壓力

They're fed meat byproducts unfit for human consumption

牠們被餵食不適合給人吃的碎肉渣

And they're killed in ways which protect their fur

而宰殺牠們的方式因為不得損傷至其毛皮

Some methods like neck breaking, poisoning and anal electricution are common

於是做法如扭斷脖子、毒害和電擊肛門，都極普遍

While fur clothing is becoming less fashionable,

皮草大衣雖逐漸退流行

fur trim coats and boots are still popular

有皮草裝飾的外套和靴子仍大行其道

Although finding faux fur should be simple,

雖然要找到人造皮草本應不難

it is often cheaper to produce real fur than faux fur

但礙於真皮草的生產成本往往更低

So some companies lie about their materials

所以有些商家會謊報材質

meaning a product labelled as fake fur could still be made from an animal

也就是說，標示為人造皮草的商品，恐怕還是使用動物製成的

The easiest way to avoid fur is to buy clothing without any kind of fur or faux fur

避免買到真皮草最簡單的方式，就是選購完全不含皮草—包含人造皮草—的服飾

But if you do want to buy something,

不過你要是真的想買

you can look on the Humane Society's list of certified faux fur companies

可以查詢人道協會 (Humane Society) 認證的人造皮草廠商清單

And if you pull the hair back, you will see either a skin or fabric backing

當你把毛掀開，就能看到底層來分辨是否為真皮

If you want to be certain about it once you've purchased it,

若想更加確定，可在購買後

cut a few pieces of hair off and burn it

剪下幾根毛來燃燒

If it's real, it's smell like burnt human hair

若是真毛，味道會類似在焚燒人的毛髮

If it's fake, it'll smell of plastic

而假毛則會產生塑膠味

If you find that it is real,

如果你發現是真毛

you can take it back to the shop where you purchased it

可以拿回原店家退貨

The fur industry has become a popular target for activists to critisise

皮草業已成了越來越多動保人士批評的對象

”Shame on you for supporting the fur industry!”

「支持皮草很無恥」

But the leather industry's just as cruel

然而皮革業同樣殘忍

People think that leather is merely a byproduct of the beef industry

人們以為皮革只是牛肉業的副產品

but there is such a demand for leather that the animals are killed specifically for their skin

實際上皮革的需求量不小，所以有動物專被殺來供應皮革

Most leather comes from India cows

多數皮革源自印度牛

To transport them to a place where they can be legally murdered,

為了將牛送至可合法宰殺的地區

cows are shoed and roped

牛被釘上鐵蹄、套上繩索

then they're forced to walk through the heat and dust without food or water

在沒有水及食物的情況下被迫在酷熱沙塵下行走

Many animals collapse from the stress of this

許多牛承受不住而崩潰倒下

When they become weak ans slow, their tails are repeatedly pinched and broken

當牠們虛弱地越走越慢時，尾巴會被反覆折捏至骨折

in a sick attempt to get them moving

迫使牠們繼續移動

Handlers are in such a hurry that they use nose ropes and twist their necks and tails

搬運工為了加速，他們會為牛隻穿上鼻繩，強拉牠們的脖子和尾巴

They also use chili peppers and tobacco to keep the animals moving

並使用辣椒和菸草逼牠們繼續行走

They rub the pepper directly in their eyes in order to get the animal back on their feet

工人會把辣椒揉擦進牛隻的眼睛裡，刺激牠們站起前進

The men that load them into the trucks are often forceful and rough

將牠們推上卡車的人通常很粗暴

The new experience of travelling combined with

在從未體驗過的運送過程

a lack of food and water leads to severe nausea

又加上缺法水及食物，導致牠們嚴重暈車

Half of the animals are already dead before they arrive at the slaughterhouse

有一半的牛抵達屠宰場前就已死亡

They're generally killed through hacking and sawing with a dull blade and are usually killed in full view of each other

一般情況下，牠們會在同伴面前被鈍刀砍鋸而死

Leather can be sourced from many different animals including

皮革可源自許多不同的動物

alligator, sheep, pigs and deer

包含鱷魚、羊、豬以及鹿

And there are many different names for different types of leather

不同種類的皮革也有不同的名字

Like buckskin, suede and shell cordovan

如 buckskin (鹿皮)、麂皮、shell cordovan (馬革)

In spite of the incredible harm the leather industry causes,

儘管皮革業對動物造成巨大的傷害

real leather has become a symbol of quality

真皮儼然成了高級品的代名詞

So clothing made from Vegan materials are often coated with tiny amounts of cow skin

即使服飾的主要成分非真皮，也常以少許的牛皮來裝飾

so that they can be labelled as real leather to increase sales in the market price

如此商品就能標示為真皮，市價就提高了

Leather is probably the most common non- Vegan material

皮革大概是最普遍的動物性材質

found in all kinds of clothing like bags, shoes, belts, jackets and gloves

存在於各種服飾中，如包包、鞋子、皮帶、夾克和手套

Since leather is more expensive than syntehtical alternatives,

由於真皮比合成皮昂貴

products are usually labelled as real leather

真皮製品一般都會加以標示

which is easy to spot and avoid

所以很容易發現、避開

Cheap products like shoes, bags and wallets are often

低價位的皮鞋、皮包和皮夾通常

made from pleather which is plastic leather

由 PU 皮—一種塑料皮革—所製成

There are also fake leather products made from PVC and

其他仿皮產品則除了使用 PVC

high quality products made from materials like cork, kelp and microfibre

更有其他用的是高級的材質如軟木、海藻和超細纖維

There seems to be a myth that all faux eather products are inferioir to cow skin

大家似乎有「合成皮比牛皮不耐用」的迷思

While cheap, poorly produced faux leather does break down quicker

廉價又粗製濫造的合成皮製品的確較容易損壞

due to cheaper subtitute ingredients being used in the manifacturing process

那是因為生產過程使用的替代材料較為低廉

High quality leather alternatives are strong and durable and have a long lifespan

然而高級的合成皮強韌、耐用、使用壽命長

Most clothing will have a clrear label

大部分服飾都會清楚標示

For shoes, look on the inside of the heel or the underside of the tongue

以鞋子來說，可以查看鞋跟內側或鞋舌下方

There should be a stamp somewhere saying smoething like:

應該在某處會印有某些資訊

”Leather upper” or ” All man made materials”

像是「真皮鞋面」或「全手工製」

Although sometimes there are just stickers with symbols

不過有時只有印著符號的標籤貼紙

If tit's made of made of textile, man made materials or other materials,

若標示為「織物」、「人造材質」或「其他材質」

they won't contain leather

那就不含皮革

But don't be afraid to email companies or ask in shops

也可勇於寫信問製造商，或向店家確認

Most people think that wool is just like a haircut for sheep

大多數人以為羊毛只是為羊剃毛

so it can't be unethical

沒有道德疑慮

But just like the fur and leather industries, the wool industry is driven by profit

但如同皮草與皮革業，羊毛業是以利益為導向的

So the most efficient methods will always be used

自然所有手段只求最大產值

Sheep in the wool industry have been genetically modified to

而此產業使用的羊，經培育後

produce far more wool than they actually need

長出的毛量已遠超過其所需

This is a lot like breaking someone's leg and then giving them a wheelchair

這就好像先打斷一個人的腿，再給他一張輪椅

and expecting praise

還期待他會感謝你一樣

And regularly shearing causes nicks and cuts

頻繁的剃毛造成羊群割傷

And in order to prevent the excess attraction of flies and a condition called ”flystrike”,

此外，為了防止引來過多蒼蠅感染了羊群

the wool industry practicecs mulesing

業者會執行「割皮防蠅法」

This is a cruel procedure in which part of a sheep's flesh is cut off

做法極其殘忍，必須切除羊的臀部

of his or her hindquarters without anesthesia

一部分的肉，且不施用麻醉藥

When sheep get older, they stop producing as much wool and

而年紀大的羊一旦產量不足

they're sent off to slaughter as they're no longer seen as profitable

即被送宰，因為牠們被視為賠錢貨

Just like leather, wool is a very common material

如同皮革，羊毛是極普遍的材質

which is found in things like coats, jumpers, socks and hats

用來製作成外套、毛衣、襪子和毛線帽

You can buy alternative clothing using materials like rayon, cotton,

你能選購用其他替代材質做的服飾，如嫘縈、棉花、

hemp, linen and bamboo as well as synthetics like

大麻纖維、亞麻和竹子，或合成纖維

acrylic, nylon and microfibre

如丙烯酸、尼龍和超細纖維

Just make sure to check the label and avoid clothing containing any types of wool

記得確認上頭的標籤，避免購入的服飾含有任何種類的羊毛

The down industry plucks feathers from geese and ducks

羽絨業會拔除鴨與鵝的羽毛

which causes considerable pain and distress

令牠們痛不欲生

While their feathers are being torn out, their skin is often torn open

隨著羽毛被拔下，牠們的皮膚往往被撕裂開

because the workers are always instructed to be as quick as possible

全因工人被吩咐要盡快完成作業

Buying down also supports the foie gras industry

購買羽絨同時會助長鵝肝產業

This produces profit by selling the feathers of the force fed ducks and geese

業者販售被強灌食物的鴨與鵝的羽毛，由此獲利

Down feathers are found in coats, jackets and other insulated products

羽絨被用來製作外套、夾克和其他隔熱產品

But fortunately there are plenty of coats made of materials like cotton and polyester

幸運地是，也有很多外套使用的材質是棉花和聚酯纖維

with synthetic insulation like primaloft and thinsulate

搭配人造的隔熱材質如 primaloft 和 thinsulate

So look on the label or item description for down for words like duck and goose

所以，查看標籤或商品描述是否有羽絨或鴨鵝等字眼

And then look for alternative products

若有則尋找替代品

In the silk industry billions of potentially sentient silkworms are

蠶絲業每年將數百萬隻有潛在感知能力的蠶

steamed or gassed alive in their cocoons every year

活活蒸死或毒死在繭裡

so that we can use their silk to make clothing

好讓我們用牠們的絲做成服飾

Silk is found in clothing like dresses, scarves and underwear

蠶絲做成的服飾包含禮服、圍巾和內衣

But there are plenty of alternatives made from materials

現在已有許多替代材質

like rayon, nylon, milkweed seed pod fibres,

包含嫘縈、尼龍、milkweed seed pod fibres (馬利筋種子莢纖維)、

tencel, silk- cotton tree filaments,

天絲棉、木棉樹纖維、

ceiba tree filaments, polyester and lyocell

吉貝纖維、聚酯纖維和萊賽爾纖維

Also avoid the other silk containing materials which are listed below

其他含有蠶絲的材質可一同避開，我會在下方列出

Most everyday clothing items are made from materials like polyester,

我們每天穿的服飾幾乎都由聚酯纖維、

cotton and acrylic and are Vegan

棉花和丙烯酸所製成，都屬純素

For example, most t- shirts and trousers are made of cotton

舉例來說，大部分的 T 恤和長褲使用的是棉花

and a lot jumpers and hoodies are made from acrylic or polyester and cotton

多數的毛衣和連帽衫則使用聚酯纖維、丙烯酸和棉花

Although it might seem like an extra effort checking labels initially,

雖然一開始似乎要費點心思確認標籤

you'll quickly get to know which products and materials are and aren't Vegan

但你很快就會熟悉什麼樣的產品或材質屬於純素

So eventually it'll be effortless

最後就會變得輕而易舉

But for some products like shoes and belts you might need to look online

但對於某些產品，像皮鞋或皮帶，可能還是得上網查詢

It's not widely known but a lot of shoes made from Vegan materials

很多人不知道，許多純素皮鞋

do contain animal based glues

仍含有動物膠

By emailing a company, you might be able to find out

寄 email 問廠商或許能得到解答

but in many cases not even the companies know what the glues are made of

但情況通常是，連廠商都不清楚膠的成分

The good news is that synthetic glues are now replacing animal based glues

好消息是，人造膠正逐漸取代動物膠

So don't let this discourage you

所以，不要因此而氣餒

Just always do the best you can

凡事盡力即可

In the booklet below I've included link to

下方小手冊裡頭，我有列出

all the best online stores for buying Vegan shoes and clothing

所有能買到純素服飾必逛的網路商店

It's important to mention that Vegans should always strive to

很重要的一點是，純素者應永遠致力於

buy the most ethical and environmentally sustainable clothing possible

購買最不傷害動物又最環保永續的服飾

We're all accustomed to buying extremely cheap yet unethical products

然而我們已習慣購買廉價卻不道德的商品

So buying Vegan, organic and fairtrade clothing can seem too expensive for most people

要買純素、有機和公平貿易的服飾，對多數人來說似乎負擔不起

The best way to overcome this is by buying secondhand Vegan clothing from charity shops

最好的解決方式是去慈善商店買二手純素服飾

And it's also a good idea to become a minimalist

另一個不錯的主意是過極簡生活

and only buy clothing that you really need

只買真的有必要的服飾

This is the most ethical and environmentally sustainable way to live

這是最道德與環保的生活方式

Some Vegans believe that second hand leather or wool products are acceptable to purchase

有些純素者可接受購買二手的皮革與羊毛產品

While they do technically cause no extra harm to animals

雖然這不會對動物造成多餘的實質傷害

they do help promote the idea that animals should be commodified

但會助長「動物商品化」的概念

If you're not okay with wearing shoes made from abused and killed human skin,

如果你不想穿由受虐後又被殺去的人類所做的皮鞋

you shouldn't be wearing cow skin shoes either

那你也不該穿牛皮的鞋子

Just as with Vegan cometics,

純素服飾就如同純素彩妝

keep in my mind that many new Vegans choose to use up

記得，許多剛轉純素的人選擇

and wear out all non- Vegan products

把原本的產品使用完畢

It's okay to do this

這是沒問題的

Don't let arrogant people try to call you out for being inconsistent

若有自大的傢伙批評你行為不一致

Remind them that Veganism is about eliminating animal products

提醒他們純素主義是在可行範圍內

as far as possible and practicable

盡可能排除動物產品

Wearing out old clothing doesn't undermine your ethics

把衣服物盡其用並沒有牴觸你的道德觀
