ANIMAL ABUSE

Not for Animal Lovers



The last time I blogged about Animal Abuse was back in February, where I lay the truth about where China got their fur from, and how they got it.

That came as a huge shock to me as I thought that the artificial fur was usually from cotton or other materials.

But even if these animals were used, what disgusted me was how they killed the animals to retrieve the fur.

I am aware that killing them by the knife could damage the fur, and I am also aware that the drug used to put animals to sleep is rather expensive. But I still think that there are other ways other than hammering them against to kill them.


This scenario is just one of the many animal Abuse that is ongoing around the world. The other Animal Abuse is Seal Hunting.















Seal Hunting is carried out in 5 countries , with Canada being the hot spot where most of the world's seal hunting takes place.

Seals are hunted for their fur, blubber and their meat, by sealers who clubs the seals with a baseball bat-like instruments. Just like China, the sealers treat the seals with so much cruelty that they kick and skin the seals while conscious or alive.

It is known that sealers kill pubs; baby seals who are not more than three months old.


If that is not cruel enough, then read on...


The next topic that I am going to talk about is, of how an artist portrayed his "art piece" in a gallery.


The Artist goes by the name of Guillermo Vargas aka Habacuc.


This man, who considers himself as an Artist, had done up an Art piece in 2007 which involved a starving of a dog named Nativity.

The dog was taken from the streets, then was chained up. He also withheld water and food from the dog. The dog was tied not more than a feet a away from a wall display constructed of dog food, where it was there till its last throes of death.

The Artist and visitors watched on as the dog suffered in agony. The visitors were told not to feed the dog. Boy, if I were there, I would've cut the chains and set the dog free!


To make matters worst, "the Visual Arts Biennial of Central America decided that the 'installation' WAS actually art, so Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the Biennial of 2008."







Bunch of idiots, I do hope they get their retribution.

The actual truth about where fur is from

NOT FOR THE WEAK HEARTED




When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms recently, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut. When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera.


Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.


Undercover investigators from Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International recently toured fur farms in China's Hebei Province, and it quickly became clear why outsiders are banned from visiting. There are no regulations governing fur farms in China—farmers can house and slaughter animals however they see fit—meaning miserable lives and excruciating deaths. The investigators found horrors beyond their worst imaginings and concluded, "Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards. In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the simplest acts of kindness."


On these farms, foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals pace and shiver in outdoor wire cages, exposed to driving rain, freezing nights, and, at other times, scorching sun. Mother animals, who are driven crazy from rough handling and intense confinement and have nowhere to hide while giving birth, often kill their babies after delivering litters. Disease and injuries are widespread, and animals suffering from anxiety-induced psychosis chew on their own limbs and throw themselves repeatedly against the cage bars.


The globalization of the fur trade has made it impossible to know where fur products come from. Skins move through international auction houses and are purchased and distributed to manufacturers around the world, and finished goods are often exported. China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States. Even if a fur garment's label says it was made in a European country, the animals were likely raised and slaughtered elsewhere—possibly on an unregulated Chinese fur farm.

Because a fur's origin can't be traced, anyone who wears any fur at all shares the blame for the horrific conditions on Chinese fur farms. The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to wear any fur.



Pledge to go fur-free at PETA.org






I was horrified upon seeing what had happened. My heart sank as tears trickled down my cheeks. Why is there no action done to ban all this?? I plead to EVERYONE, to stop wearing FUR.


The human race has exceeded far beyond humanity. Why do such things to animals? These idiotic people must be out of their minds to do so. Even if they had to take fur, why do it in such a cruel way?
