I can honestly say I have never been this disgusted

[Vanguard_Ex]

I'm not normally a big animal rights protester, but I had this fowarded to me and nearly threw up in complete and utter revulsion. Don't watch this video if you get sick easily. Its a video on the chinese fur farms and the horrible things happening there. They have been skinning the animals alive, which they say is "for a better cut". I apologise deeply if this offends anyone but it really should, this has to be stopped. Im not asking for signatures or anything I just want to throw this out there.
Anyway here's the link, again don't watch if you have an easily upsetable stomach. http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp
Mods: If this video is too graphic please tell me.

I watched that video quite a while back, and like you, it really made me want to do something. It's just it seems not enough people give a shit :/

im a human, i eat other animals

Realistic point fail. Your food isn't tortured before it arrives to you.

 

[AntiChrist]

Couldn't care less regarding the suffering of animals.

That wasn't actually linked to the OP - unless, of course, you eat your meat whilst still alive.

Fur, I don't like, but its 10 times worse when the animal was alive WHILST being skinned. I do like my meat, but I don't want it so the animal suffered on route or was still alive when I started munching.

Does the fact that they are a source of food or clothing for us make it okay to torture them? No. It should be done painlessly. We can justify killing them for food and the like, but they shouldn't have to suffer in the process.

Perhaps if you took a step back and actually looked at things objectively, you'd make an incredible realization; sensationalist news ignores anything that contradicts their point.

Namely, the fact that human beings are the only animal that kills it's food before doing anything with it.

If a pack of coyotes killed those dogs, then they would likely live much longer while being eaten.

Not to say that they should be made to suffer, however we aren't the only animal who can be cruel.

I fail to see what the issue is - just because animals eat without killing their food completely, it doesn't mean its ok for us to do so. Further, they are skinning the animals, not eating them.

It's pretty messed up, then again... Nothing I can do about it but complain

im a human, i eat other animals-

-And they don't get any rights. I hate PETA. I've heard they bomb places, their propaganda is horrible, and why do animals deserve rights? They say we chuck chickens in a big-ass boiling-water-filled pot, while they're alive, and that cooking mama is a murderer. They kill perfectly alive and good-for-eating animals so they can't be eaten. PETA can shut the fuck up and die.

 

[RabidusUnus]

Fuck you China. If you really need fur, kill the animals first.

 

[Dys]

Call me backwards and naive if you must, but I'm actually more worried about the atrocities committed against humans in china. If a more credible source claimed that it happened in a more civilized country I may care, but as far as china goes that's pretty tame.

 

[Murlin]

uuuuughhh...nice thing to start a morning with...
I hope practices like those are stopped soon, that'd be better for everyone, especially for my stomach...

 

[pirateninj4]

It is sad to see that the path of man continues to be cruelty and indifference. However, this is not a problem limited to China. This is a problem world over, and it will never end while we continue to practice being 'Lords of the World' instead of trying to live within it.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I don't buy furs. The kind of people who buy furs aren't going to be stopped by making these processes illegal.

But it is so very depressing

 

[CMon]

Either side of this fence are usually out of their mind. That is, PETA and the animal flayers.

I prefer to sit on the fence and lull myself into ignorance while I eat my meat.

 

[DarkRyter]

That's just sickening.

Who the hell even buys fur anymore?!

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Sigh.... that just started this month for me on a depressing note...

 

[Megacherv]

It's either that, or the have to beat them to death, which'd be just as painful.

 

[Lord George]

Well thats what you get for losing the evolutionary arms race.

 

[oppp7]

Wow, a lot of people are just hating on peta here...
OT: The Chinese also cuts off shark fins and throws the live sharks back in the water to die. I don't like this sort of thing, but I'm going for ending the sweat shops before I stop all the animal cruelty. But I can help with this by refusing to buy fur.

And for those people saying "I like meat so it's ok," you realize that if we took all of the meat we ate and used to land to grow the animals and the food for the animals we would have a lot more food? What's wrong with vegetarian food? If we were all vegans we would have more food and be healthier. (God dammit I sound like a hippy...)

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Barbarous, but, hell, that's China for you.

 

[Emilie Diabolica]

...i couldnt watch more than a minute of that. how can people live with themselves while they inflict such torture on innocent creatures?

i feel sick.
