Please do not buy fur products

Post by nF »

Please don't buy furs products and even discourage your friends or relatives from buying them to stop the trading, as they say no demand then no supply. If they still want to buy, then ask them to watch this video as well. Feel like vomiting, to think that they just skin the animal when it's still alive.

Warning: The below video is quite disturbing.

More likely the option of killing it is through injection and that require additional money to purchase it, so they rather kill it alive to earn more then buy the required chemicals.

well, killing it alive probably allows them to have "fresh" fur. I think they'll probably treat the fur with something to preserve it before sending it to the factories.

hmm... i'm not surprised there are such things in the world. Afterall, the place featured in the video should be china or taiwan, where people are desperate for money to the extent that they will do such things. The only thing that i find weird is that those people standing back there, watching the whole thing right in front of them, ain't doing anything. hmm...

i don't think they can do anything about it because everyone in that town is doing this
they pick on one person they get it from the whole town

what i heard is that skinning it alive makes it afriad and so makes the fur stand making it more appealing for sale
gross

Hi QuantumGravity,
This is a public forum which mean it is view by people from all ages, so I think you should change your Avatar to a less violent one.

Have a nice day.
