Public Action Against Skinning Alive!

By owen

"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. -- Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International"

What was that video? I was on reading mode all the time here on QL but this one really makes me almost cry .... :(

I don't know why they don't at least kill the poor thing first if they have to do something like that? :( Wish if someone can do the same with one hand of these guys to make them feel how terrible is the pain.

If someone of them got a cut in his hand or that poor thing scratch him he will be mad and hit him violently with no mercy ... What do you expect them to do? Skinning them alive? ...

I don't know why but the humans who kill other humans with cold blood are not surprise me anymore with their deeds :(

I always admire Owen -- she is very informative.

I'm so proud of you.. ;)

I don't think it is cultural Alexa. It's just ignorance and of course this increases in poor countries or in the so-called underdevelopped ones. I know that in such countries people do hardly have resources for themselves let apart animals. However, I can never understand why some would torture animals or kill them for no apparent reason.

Well ALexa, wherever atrocities against animals occur there should be a law punishing such deeds. I believe someone who is psychologically balanced could never harm any living creatures.

Owen grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I told you last time to say : keep kids away from screen .

I'm curious to know what's on that video, but I definetely know this will make me sick. I don't know why I just cannot stand watching animals suffering. whoever torture animals on purpose deserves to be get the same fate. Isn't it a life too , that of an animal or even of an insect ?

I couldn't watch the video, but I would sign the petition . Owen, you reminded me of a terrible video I saw a year ago. Some Chinese are really cruel. I cannot understand any tradition that allows people to massacre animals like cats and dogs.

Owen, the animal is a racoon dog, the video was taken undercover in a Chinese fur farm. In China there are no rules on fur farms........but this is not only taking place there, it is a common practice in some Asian countries........to skin animals alive.

ISNT GREAT TO BE A HUMAN BEING!!!!!!

i've watched the video...:/ and accordingly, to produce fur for the fur industry, animals are even skinned alive.

Afterwards the skinned dog (or i dont know what poor animals are these)lies still alive on his fellow-sufferers.

sigh...even if you don't watch the video: please do sign the petition and pass it.
