Eighty-five percent of the fur industry’s skins come from animals living captive on fur factory farms. These farms can hold thousands of animals, and the practices used to farm them are remarkably uniform around the globe. As with other intensive-confinement animal farms, the methods used on fur factory farms are designed to maximize profits, always at the expense of the animals.

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea that furs came from animals. I am not going to put my furry slippers into the garbage.

I've seen half of this video before. I have an extremely strong stomach and think it's often necessary to see what happens in the world before passing judgement on it but I had to turn it off. Really horrific stuff. :(

I hate those PETA arseholes. I saw on Penn and Teller how they used images of the Holocaust to draw some moral equivalents.
I don't believe in unecessary suffering but these animal rights people should realise there are bigger fish to fry - Iraq anyone?

no one is saying that because one thing disgusts you, nothing else can. Although I'm horrified by the thought of animals being skinned alive doesn't mean that I'm not appalled by what's going on with the Iraq war, child abuse, monopolisation or anything else.
It doesn't really make any odds whether you hate PETA or not, the fact of the matter is that the animals are still being treated this way, which is really awful

So many people are just like dum dee dum participating in this. What did you do today. oh nothing much, just non-evil things;.. I skinned some live animals and stuff.
Humanity is just completely evil.
This is so completely removed from natural predator prey relationships. Putting things/growing them in an unescapable prison and killing them production line style. People don't understand that humans and racoons are the same beings minus an evolutionary blink in time.
all the beauty of the world has become grotesque. The percentage of living beings that are removed from their comfortable evolved habitat into some form of hell grow greater and greater. Humans fucked with nature and made the world an ecological nightmare. Every beautiful co-evolved relationship and design is shattered and crippled.
An epitome of the current sickness of ecology that evil humans caused (definition of evil = causing pain) is the moth and the lightbulb which richard dawkins mentioned. Moths evolved in a world without lightbulbs and innately had a trick to use star/moon light as navigation or something. All of a sudden fast forward into an alien hell of technological humans and light bulbs on porches and stuff. The moths can't control their innate design so spend all night repeatedly flying into the lightbulbs burning themselves. It is an actual hell for them, not a fictional religious one, but their brains are relatively unsophisticated. But the point is just about every being today is in some ill matched hell like that, probably from the combination of LOTS of fucked up glitches all acting together. I certainly felt this on myself throughout my own life.

Well, I don't wear fur, I don't eat red meat (only meat I really eat is fish and chicken), & I don't use cosmetics.
If they're breaking the law, then the authorities should be notified, and if they're not, then they should be boycotted. What else can one say about it?

i wasnt going to watch that vid, and then i did anyway and after 10 seconds i regretted it and turned it off.
That guy who slams a raccoon into the ground should be tortured for the rest of his life, and skinned of course.
god fucking damn it. :(

Actually, the slamming on the ground is the least cruel part of the video, by far. At least they're trying to kill the animal first. Later in the video, animals get skinned alive. It's incredibly horrifying.

holy fuck dude! now i know were supposed to be smarter than animals because we have the cognitive ability to analyze our environment and make conscious decisions based on feelings of empathy for other living entities but maybe you've heard of oh... idk... maybe... um... charles darwin? yeah, the guy who figured out evolution and that all life follows natural order. funny of me to assume that all cultures are the same and everyone comes from the same background as i do. i can't understand why there are bad people in the world. we all know the world is fucked up and there's shit goin on that we have absolutely no control over, but we don't slit our wrists based on the mere fact that we know how. that's your logic of thinking for why you don't eat meat. because other animals eat other animals. i don't see anybody standing up for the plants. what about them huh? they're alive. we eat their babies. oh but we don't know what it's like to be a plant so fuck it right. now i'm not advocating the shit in that vid nor do i condone it, obviously fur isn't necessary to our immediate survival and it "hurts" poor animals. what about all the modern luxuries provided by the industrial and technological revolutions? i don't see any of you doing anything to cease the proliferation of pollution perpetuated by the use of fossil fuels. yet i hear all of you cry about it. unless you give away everything you own, stfu. we're killing ourselves.

I had some whale fat the other day as an apertiser form some nuty fishermen. It tasted like vaseline, Sashini whale is nice though, a bit like carapachio.

And with today's array of hair-removing creams there's no excuse for it.
