Ditto......can't even imagine what I would see but I won't even click. So many acceptable practices upset me now (circus, zoo's, etc.).

Nope....I'm with Linda.

Same here. I don't doubt that it will break my heart angelwing, but I couldn't bear to watch it.

I don't even WANNA!

I couldn't get past the first page of it either! Those people need to be skinned alive for treating cats and dogs like that.

Okay, I must admit I'm curious but not brave enough to look at that link.

Can someone sum up what they were doing to the dogs/cats, just the basics? Animal testing (i.e., makeup, drugs, etc.)?

Not quite, Mary...it shows the Chinese "farms" and their inhumane practices (if the text can be believed) in "harvesting" furs from mink, rabbit, etc. for this company's fall line of clothes.

I didn't find the photos disturbing at all...but then, I've been a "subsistence" hunter (whitetail deer, mostly) in years past, so stripped animal carcasses don't bother my sensibilities.

And I'd wear furs if I could afford them.

Oh, I get it. Well, I'll never wear, own or even try on a fur!

2 years ago I was out of town shopping with my 4 sisters-in-law. One bought a goat coat. She was just giddy, her business had really taken off and I guess, this is how she wanted to reward herself. It was more like a jacket, short to the waist. She offered to let us try it on. Well, I could not even get near it! I was about to CRY. Last year she wanted me to hang out with her and I said, okay, but if you walk into a fur dept., I am not following you! She didn't...one fur jacket is enough she said.

I can't even bring myself to buy animal fabric prints or wear faux fur.

100 years ago to keep warm - sure. Not now, cotton or wool is fine by me.

So were they skinning them alive? Please tell me they weren't....sorry Bill, I do find it sad.

Mary

Not going to even try to watch it.

Very sad indeed.

I cannot stand an animal to be mistreated or neglected in any way. I am a huge animal lover. I don't like reading any stories like that, so I could not bring myself to read it. Whenever I thought about the poor animals just lost in Katrina alone, I have to fight back the tears. Especially since I lost my own little Lacey (my Yorkie) 4 months ago.

That entire website was built by PETA

Fabricated?

That was my thought, as well...but just viewing the carcases hanging there doesn't answer the question of how the animals in question died.

I can tell you all this much...I have NEVER skinned a deer who was wounded and still alive; nor did I ever use salt licks, scent, blinds, a stand, etc. to hunt them. I put myself on their level...stalking, walking VERY slowly, watching, not moving...gave them every natural advatage God granted them.

Deer, like most animals, have superior survival skills, and it is HARD WORK to "bag" one as I did, years ago. One gains respect for the deer when hunting in this manner, rather than going to "ranches" which GUARANTEE a bagged critter. I have NO use for such people or places.

More, I used every part of the deer to feed myself and family, and the fur was well-employed to keep us warm. Let it also be known that I only took ONE shot from a rifle w/o telescopic sights, and 3/4 mile of tracking, to bring this buck down...no dogs, other hunters, just me.

And, to me, PETA (pita) is a Greek pocket bread.

"Nuff said.

Opaa!

I went to a PETA message board once just to see what they were up to, and one of their forums was titled "J. Cruel"

That's how I know where this came from.

Streetsoldier, my hubby is a hunter also and there is never anything wasted, but inhumane treatment of animals just gets to me, hunting doesn't as that is not inhumane

There's NOTHING wrong with Peta...it's the SICK COWARD MONSTERS out there who mistreat, torture and inhumanely kill defenseless and helpless animals that ARE the PROBLEM!!!!

Eric

There's plenty wrong with PETA. They're a terrorist group, pure and simple. I am extremely skeptical of anything they claim.
