It's on the net and very easy accessible - even for kids. I'm glad it's on Utube now but I also know it's going to give alot of people nightmares. What happens in other countries is sickening - but there just isn't much we can do - the fur trade is THRIVING - especially now that those JERK celebrities are still wearing fur - making it 'cool' - ( I saw on the news Fur is making a comback in Hollywood and wanted to kick my tv)
but we need to concentrate on what goes on in OUR country too - we have alot of cruelty and abuse right here. |
there may not be much we can do, but even being aware of it helps. i never really thought about it deeply before i saw all of this footage. i knew i would never buy fur, but after i saw this footage i have made it a point to try to talk anyone i know out of buying fur and again, IT ISNT JUST FUR COATS!! i found anoter very recent article about the selling of "faux fur" in the USA that is actually dog and cat!!

knowledge is power. i have , and will continue to have nighmares about this footage, but it is a small price to pay for me to be aware of what is going on, not contribute to the problem, and try to convince others of the same! if i convince one of my friends not to buy something fur, it will be worth it for me. if each of us convinces one of our friends, it will make a huge impact on the fur industry and could help save some animals lives. ignorance is bliss, but knowledge can make a difference.
