fur farms

vid

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?

calm down... awareness of this kind of stuff is spread by
posting links, info, vids, and ertc. no huge discussion is
needed. just awareness. that is all

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.

Fur really looks like shit on a woman. Theres nothing sexy
about a fur patch all over a woman's shoulders.

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.

this DixMexChick with a half lob on that I swear tickled my
anal jihad and I swore by the fifth senate of the house of
reprehensibles that it is a condonable offensid that all
personoids not willingly communicable in the Bible language
of Americlish that they have forsworn the holy right, so
help me Bod, of having a right to say that the animals, that
Jacob so rightly offered up to some other fuck 2K odd years
ago in return for writing some crap or other, god damn
PeterPaulANDMary lay all your arms on me, lay lady lay, I
say I say I say Foghorn Leghorn you got yeself one helluva
bitchin stuck up yo ass, boy. Fizzit. Cowboy. Cowboy.

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.
