can you stand it

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

I hate the rich, I hate their [price|use]less fur clothes, I hate the people who wear them, who buy them, who smile inside. Punks.

If you can watch the video until its end, then you should start to wonder which side of the screen is the animal.

*EDIT* WARNING: OFFENSIVE CONTENT, WATCH AT OWN RISK

That was without a doubt one of the most horrible things I've seen. You should probably have given a warning about this.

I'm no animal rights nut, I often go hunting, and I've had to work with livestock a lot in my life but what they were doing was just sick.

I have no problem whatsoever with killing an animal, just as long as its humane and for a decent reason.

Shooting an animal is one thing, but skinning it alive and leaving it to suffer and die later is just cruel.

that is so wrong...

other things that do not show as much cruelty but are cruel too..

The meatrix. I hate it because it glorifies "family farms".

However, yes, I did not like that video of the skinning, especially when you know the poor sod's still quite alive.

Still, with heroic effort I swallowed the lump in my throat and oggled the girl on the right. It was the only thing to be done.

Whats so bad about family farms?

[Exilibur]

I usually don't care much about animal-cruelty. I feel like there's far worse problems to be taken care of in this world... not that i can defend that position or anything.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

If I were you I'd feel concerned anyway. If people can do that to animals, I'd be afraid of what they could do to men. Watch the viddy, I'm sure you didn't.

[Exilibur]

I actually watched it to the end... if i hadn't, what i wrote would be complete bullshit.

And surely people could do that to each other as well, i don't doubt that one second... we can just be thankful human skin isn't in demand.

[TruB]

it could be..
i didnt watch the whole.. i saw the point.. and i knew about it.. one of those things i wouldnt discuss or show one of my sister and my mother since they both can get really upset about for a long time. imo listening to how they feel and i sure did know it before, dont make the world any better..

Nothing per-se, my family is a farming family. It is the rank glorification that I do not agree with, the stressed protrayal of some bloody perfect society. The arrogance of it all. The "we are right above all because we are better" attitude that people persist with to justify their actions.
