I will have to commend carpetrug for bringing this to my attention, but this is absolutely horrifying. I was completely disgusted but some of the actions in the video I will post a link to. TAKE HEED: THE VIDEO IS VERY, VERY DISTURBING! I myself have a high tolerance for this stuff usually, but this brought to the point of nausea... I couldn't even finish the entire 7-or-so minute clip. However, it is difficult to load, so just pick download at the bottom if you consider yourself prepared. YOU WERE WARNED!

VERY DISTURBING ANIMAL CRUELTY VIDEO

Or this one, with commentary: Another video

I warned many times.. But indeed, it is disturbing to say the least.

I watched that video and i could have thrown up, i dont understand how humans can be so cruel as to do that to a living thing. Animal or not, it isn't right!

Indeed. I don't quite understand why they don't kill the animals first. Yes, most quick forms of death would ruin the furs, but why not some sort of injection or drowning, perhaps?

When the dog is dead, the muscles stiffen up. They sell the meat, because it is considered a delicacy there. When it's alive, they also beat it to tender the meat.

Certainly we hold ourselves higher. That goes with the whole 1 member of the family, 5 in your neighborhood, 100 in your town, 10000 in your state, 100000 in your country... dies thing. However, the Vietnam War was a while ago and (hopefully) we have learned from it. Still, this is something to be moved by, am I right? And in so, at least part of you must be upset with these people. I am not asking for a comparison or anything, just a discussion and hopefully a little thought and action.

Different cultures, different practices.

It's just me, but I've seen more disturbing things in documentaries about the Vietnam war. Watching animals getting skinned alive? Yeah, that's bad. Watching napalm burn the skin off a man? That's worse.

I'm sorry, but my sympathies lie with humans, not with animals.

This is why I'm sick of animal right activists attacking America for political reasons while this goes on in asian countries such as china. Furs were needed when cloth was hard to come by, but then they atleast killed the animal and it did not or hardly suffered.

The problem is, is that we have to find another way for the people doing these things to make money. Its their culture. Dont think so badly about the asians themselves. Cows are holy animals in some cultures.

When I found this topic I was to post a link of an animal cruelty video, when I realized that it's the same you found. Am I the only one who thinks that skinning animlas alive, or dead is both cruel, and shows how weak humans are? Just consider: we kill these poor things to have a coat, or a shawl, to look prettier, cooler, and to feel prettier and cooler! Did you know, that furs are also made os the most intelligent and beautiful dogs? When I imagine that it could have been my dog, I'm so sorrowful! And these days, you can't really be sure of what you by, real fur, or just a good copy, because those cruel Chinese people give them fantasy names! So you can never be sure of what you wear! I'm totally disgusted os those people(mostly stars) who are great supporters of animal rights, and a year later they are seen walking up and down the streets in furs!!! STOP THIS CRUELTY!!

Agreed, at least we have the decency to put the animal out of any misery it may endure. Most of the time.

You know, this is from PETA but I have to wonder: Who the hell think's it's a good idea to skin an animal ALIVE? What the hell? I'm not against the skinning of animals for fur, but Jesus kill the damned thing before you do it. And not by smacking it into the ground over and over. Sheesh.

For all the "horrors" of the American meat industry and whatnot, all you have to do is look at Asia and other parts of the world and see just how good our system is.
