Animal Cruelty -- I made a youtube video about the fur industry

I've been seeing a several Animal Rights videos recently and I'm completely appalled about the level of animal cruelty that's prevalent throughout the industries that exploit animals (meat, eggs, leather, fur, animal testing etc)
I'm looking into becoming a vegetarian because of the wake-up call I've gotten. Watch the documentary "Earthlings" and judge for yourself.
Critical mass was reached and I felt people should KNOW, so I made a YouTube video about fur just now, which is pretty damn disgusting but shows an everyday practice in the animal holocaust.
Here it is, it's pretty damn grisly so I wonder how long they're going to keep it up.
And it's the tip of the iceberg.. Unspeakable atrocities against animals are being committed in every city throughout the world. It's not that we eat meat and use animal products: it's the way we treat those animals every step of the way.
About that documentary, Earthlings.. Track it down and watch it. It will fuck you up but if you prefer reality over illusion, you got to know.
Here's a thread about animal cruelty. Any Vegans in da house?

I've done my share of crying the past days watching those horrible videos, and even several times on remembering some of them. If you wonder why humans can be so cruel to one another, one needs only look at how we treat animals, from the meat on your plate to the leather of your shoes.

I feel that for many people it's good to have a confrontation moment. I've had several in the last days, and it really had me thinking, and I'm even moving in the direction of vegetarianism because of it.

you made a video about the skinning of an animal.
this is something that happens to many animals every day that are not even used for the fur, but rather are eaten.
i eat bunny rabbits, they taste amazing with some rosemary some wine, and onions. Cook that stuff nice and slow and my friend you have some of the most delicious meat ever.
good things are not always pleasant in this respect as well.
how do you choose to single out the fur industry? is eating an animal no less cruel?
bear in mind that i am just playing devils advocate, and that i am against the poaching of fur animals, but not the production/raising of them.

I've currently transitioning away from eating any animal products. Everything nutritional that animal products supply a human being can be found in nuts, vegetables, seeds, fruits, and melons...and in a more sanitary and more easily digestible form.
I'm also never going to buy any material made from animals. Time to respect life.

No, you're not just being devils advocate, you're seriously being an insensetive jerk.
I couldn't even watch that whole thing, It just makes me too angry and disgusted. It makes me mad that I can't do anything to help relieve the pain and loss of life and hope of happiness. How can people do this sort of thing, and support it and then still try to hope for and talk about world of peace and love, where life and all living creatures are held sacred. Where all life is held in higher regard than a chunk of flesh to chew on, for your leather shoes and mink fur coat that you placed higher value than the creatures life.
I've been walking around my neighborhood recently, and I've seen how animals that have died and been trampled and run over by cars are left to rot openly in the streets. I walked down the other day and picked up a dead squirrel that was just laying in the alley, there had been a small mouse there just the day before. There was another dead squirrel that had been run over, it's guts burst from it's stomach, lying right in front of a persons house, laying there for days, still laying there, waiting for me to come clean up the mess that should have been dealt with days ago. Nobody cares about creatures anymore. Nobody really cares about the earth. Noone truly cares about peace, love and justice. I know the whole world is in this pit together, and if they truly were for these things, then the world would not be the way it is now.

Man I couldn't finish watching it either. Made me so mad. Why can't they at least KILL IT for sure before chopping its legs off?
Altho it would be incredibly hard for me to stop eating meat (hell i'm way too skinny as it is), I always tend to make people wearing fur feel stupid. I will usualy try and call them out in public, maybe shame them a bit. It's getting a bit better, but not by much.

WS - I wrestle with the knowlwdge thatthe food I enjoy is steeped in misery and pain. I am too selfish to quit meat, but its worse when I think about the animals I am consuming, and horribly they had to die.
I wish some actor/singer would take up the call for animal rights. I dont think we should all move away from meat, but the abuse/cruelty is not a necessary part of the industry. There has to be a happy medium between veganism and holocuast.
when you cry for the animals, i cry with you. OoD

I find it pretty sad that lots of people who eat meat can't watch this stuff. They can't watch the death of the animals that give them life. When you can face the truth and you don't find anything wrong with it then it's all good...
I don't eat meat but I eat dairy products because I recently went back to school and I can eat some veggie lunch there for free Otherwise I would have a very poor diet. But at least I know what I'm doing.
