*If you are not weak-hearted watch the video and sign the pledge against this brutality...
Poor animals were skinned alive!! By brutal Chinese People!! * http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp Dear Friends, It’s just too painful to watch this video. We have to try and stop this brutality. It's about animal rights. But if you have time must watch the below link. It’s full of excruciating violence. Its painful silence affects us all deeply. If we don't protect animals from this type of brutality, we become accomplices. http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp SKINNED ALIVE: With a hidden camera, animals were filmed being SKINNED ALIVE. They say it's done to get a more perfect ''cut''. Afterwards the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies little paws still shaking. There was one pup that still lifted his head and gazed at the camera with bloodied eyes. If you don't care to see the video, please sign and forward to your friends. This monstrosity has to be stopped, we have to act! When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut. When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera. Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row. Undercover investigators from Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International toured fur farms in China's Hebei Province, and it quickly became clear why outsiders are banned from visiting. There are no regulations governing fur farms in China—farmers can house and slaughter animals however they see fit. The investigators found horrors beyond their worst imaginings and concluded, "Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards. In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the simplest acts of kindness." The globalization of the fur trade has made it impossible to know where fur products come from. *China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States*. Even if a fur garment's label says it was made in a European country, the animals were likely raised and slaughtered elsewhere—possibly on an unregulated Chinese fur farm. *The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to wear any fur. * When people learn that millions of innocent animals are beaten, boiled, hanged, and electrocuted for their fur every year ... when they learn that every fur coat, lining, trim, or fur cat toy represents the intense suffering of several dozen animals? and when they learn that furriers intentionally mislabel fur as not taken from dogs and cats or as fake ... then every decent human being will want to go FUR-FREE. By clicking the below link and signing the pledge below—and encouraging your friends and family to do so as well—you'll be sending a powerful message not only to the fur industry, but also to designers, retailers, and others who directly profit from the suffering caused by this cruel industry.
