DeviousDVO said:First of all it's not just raccoons - cats and dogs are there being stomped to death and skinned alive as well . I watched the video and it made me puke . The reason I posted that is so maybe people will open their eyes a little and see they're being lied to . Much of the fur being sold around the world is in fact cat , dog and raccoon hair being called something else so people will buy it . This has been going on for a long time - only NOW have cameras been able to get in there and see what's really going on . There was no "emotional blackmail" there , to my eyes . It's the truth - and the truth is fucked up sometimes . This isn't some new crusade I happen to be on today - I just happened upon this and thought I should share it . I know everyone has an opinion about this and here's mine : stop killing animals for your fucking coats .
judas69 said:I do agree with Final Product, sort of reluctantly, but either way it's an important cause and like I had mentioned in prior posts, sometimes it takes a radical approach to get a response from the public.
Final_Product said:I totally agree, that was not my point. Please re-read my post.
Regardless, that IS emotional blackmail.
speed said:Personally i'd rather it be from domesticated animals than foxes, or beavers, etc. Why is it worse since its from Dogs and Cats? They are domesticated animals unlike foxes who are wild. If anyhing, I think its more humane. The thought of a wild animal being caged and then butchered, is far worse to me than a domesticated animal being caged and butchered.
It is interesting the whole anti-fur movement is somewhat dead. I've noticed a number of rich European and Asian women wearing fur lately.
I dont know, it really just doesnt bother me too much. We kill and torture people every day; why should I cry over a bunch of animals?--(I am attempting to provoke conversation here, so please, I am not the antichrist, and I dont own any fur items).

Final_Product said:I'm of the opinion that we all think too much of ourselves, and I see no reason (other than our obvious perch at the top of the foodchain) as to why we can kill indiscriminately.
