Live animal skinning?

[Daisy1986]

Is anyone else getting E-mails with video (NO I DID NOT WATCH), of people (China I think), skinning animals live, including Dogs??

Then I am on Facebook looking at groups to join...and there are all these groups against it, animal skinning.

I feel sick to my stomach. I also saw using dogs for live bait... Is this stuff true??

How can this be??

OMG..**** No, I haven't seen any of them. I think it is probably true. I also saw how chinese slaughtered rabits for fur production in PETA website. It was horrible, couldn't watch it.

YES it is true, Dateline did a story on it years ago!

I saw one maybe a year or two ago. I don't remember where/why, but YES it was real and it was HORRID.

thus the reason not to buy fur coats..as it may be dogs fur that they were skinned alive for..that's the story dateline did..the images are still burned into my mind..absolutely sick!

unfortunately it's true. I saw videos on the PETA site, but once came across an article, further searching confirmed this horrible practice, but even worse, they prefer GSD because their coats resemble the raccoon dog or something. Made my skin crawl. As long as people buy fur this horrible practice will continue.

China is the main exporter of animal fur. They also purposely mis-label what the fur is. In other words, if you think you're buying something that's labeled rabbit or fox, it's probably cat or dog. Faux fur is the only way to go to stop this barbarian practice.

And they do, supposedly, try to kill the animals first, but they have absolutely no regard for them, so if the animal isn't dead, oh well, they go ahead with skinning it anyway. I myself can only watch a few minutes of something like that, then I shut it off & just cry & cry.

I saw a video of it too. I don't remember where or why but it was a protest site if i remember. it was HORRIBLE. i did cry and cry and sometimes still think about the poor animal

I looked at fur- wearers differently from then on.

Cats they hang.
Dogs they just tie them up to a fence & start skinning.

Did anyone see that video on what happens to Dolphins? It's either in china or japan..horrible stuff!
They find a herd of dolphins, injure one, so then the group doesn't leave because they are very family oriented--eventhough they can--sometimes they do put up netting because of activists trying to get the dolphins to come out, and then they just spear them & drag them up the road to the place were they just let them bleed out..still alive the whole way up.

One video I did try to watch will stay with me forever. It was a German shepherd & the narrator said that when they took him out of the bag or whatever they had him in, even though you know he wasn't treated well, he looked at the person & gave him one hopeful wag of his tail. Then he was tied up & cut in the groin area to bleed out. That he still had that trust for humans, that gets me every time. I can't understand how anyone can abuse a helpless animal, much less torture & kill them.

I also look at people who wear fur differently. With all the information out there, it's hard to believe someone who made the choice to buy fur didn't know where it comes from.

Some of them are stolen pets. Which is really sad.
