Cruel Fur Trade in China



This video makes me sick to the core. In it, Heather Mills joins PETA in showing the cruelties of the fur trade in China. It is bad enough that the animals are kept in small cages, alone and frustrated, in outdoor conditions, no doubt unhygienic. But wait till you see how they kill the animals. Seeing the Chinese people throw minks and foxes to the ground as though they were merely stuffed toys, stepping on them, beating them up with a bat makes me wonder where their sense of decency and compassion went. Just because they want the fur intact, they do not make slits or kill the animals with knives. Isn't there a better way to get what they want? Electrocution, fast-acting poison are all alternatives. But what do they choose? Battering the little fellas. Murderers! The video doesn't show their faces but I can imagine their glee as they beat up these small furry creatures.

One scene shows an animal ALIVE but without its skin, in great pain. Even when we fall down, and get a small abrasion, we can whimper and tear and cry over it. Can you imagine what this creature is going through? It would be wishing it could dead there and then. This is the type of video that makes me so ANGRY and UPSET with the human race. Where is the empathy? Don't they know animals feel pain too? Isn't it bad enough that we are eating animals and using their skins for leather? They are not here to serve the human race. They have every right to their lives on earth.
