The agony behind angora wool

hachette

This comes with a WARNING. GRAPHIC FOOTAGE. I also looked at Olivia's video, did not dare to look at others after that. How cruel is this world we live in and all the cruelty inflicted by the human race :mad:.

Omg that's horrible

Thats nothing. Ive seen a documentary on the Chinese skinning dogs alive.

Hanging on hooks in what looked like an outdoor market. Dogs still alive and making noises with no skin and.. Well i wont go on.

Animals are for food and it seems nothing can be done wrong. As the clip mentioned they have no animal cruelty laws.

If you look at Oliva's video on the same site you will see just that including skinned dog thrown on top of other bodies still alive and lifting his head to look at the camera. I will never forget the look in his eye. I wish I have never watched it.

Closer to home the amount of cruelty to dogs in Spain is huge, how many go on holiday there every year?

A lot of retailers have stopped selling angora recently! A step in the right direction.

I watched the PETA angora video the other week. I assume its the same one but do not want to check. As a complete bunny lover and owner, vegetarian etc this makes me very upset. Especially as I have looked after very poorly, distressed and bunnies in pain yet never heard them scream. A bunny will only scream usually when its close to be killed by something and is in extreme serious pain.

On another note, even in this country animals are kept in terrible conditions etc yet because a chicken or cow isn't so cuddly and fluffy people do not have sympathy for them and still eats them and supports the farming world.

Even as a veggie I actually have no problem with people eating meat and cook it nearly daily for my partner. I even did a years course in livestock/farming etc at a local agriculture college however I wish animals were kept better etc. It saddens me that most people that will be upset by this video do not want to know about the practices they support and have probably eaten some form of animal today that has suffered....

I saw that too and it haunts me to this day.

but WHY???????


WHY do people do those things to animals???? I just can't comprehend their thought processes.


I'm in tears just THINKING about the poor dog being skinned.


Horrendous.

The video i saw actually cut them open though. Their insides hanging out.

Making me shudder now. and im not that squeamish.

Why. Because they see it as food. Nothing more and nothing less. Same way you pull a carrot or potato from the gound or pull an apple off the tree. To them its the same thing.

I watched a video of a dog being skinned, probably about ten years ago now and it has to be one of the worst things I have seen. I won't watch the angora vid because of the affect the other one had on me.

I think some Chinese are coming around to realise that animals do feel suffering but it will be decades, I think, before any major changes are made.
