2008-12-24, snuff videos exposed

On www.peta.org you′ll find an interesting video, showing animals at a fur farm, beaten, skinned alive,… it is horrible. This video is claimed to have been made by undercover investigators, and is supposed to be a document about how cruel everyday′s life―or should I say: death―on fur farms is.

And then I got curious about several things, so I got into the topic of furriers a bit and here′s what I figured out:

Animals are not skinned alive. In fact, their neck is broken with one sharp stroke with a piece of wood―stabbing etc. would damage the fur―and then skinned. It does not make any sense at all to giv′em a savage beating and then skin them alive, because this would damage the fur and endanger the furrier of being scratched and bitten. It also makes it pretty difficult to cleanly skin the animal, mind that the people working there make a living on selling those skins, so why should they take risks?

Also, if you look carefully, you will realize that they show an animal skinned alive lying on a pile of corpses showing no signs of bleeding, indicating that only this one animal has been skinned alive, where all the others were already dead at that stage―mind that as long as no blood vessels are opened, bodies with a hearth not pumping anymore practically do not bleed.

There is also footage of animals freaking out in their cages, suggesting severe hospitalism, but there is also footage of animals being quite calm. This could mean that those animals have been intentionally scared by the camera crew to acchieve the desired result for their video. I figured that there is a good chance that this video is staged.

And then I found this:

1972: The Canadian Association for Humane Trapping produces a film entitled They Take So Long to Die. Scenes of animals suffering horribly in inappropriate traps are subsequently aired on CBS television. It is later learned that the animals had actually been caught in the wild and released into a compound to be trapped and filmed at leisure.

Another quote:

Mid-1980s: Greenpeace Australia distributes film of two men mutilating live kangaroos as part of a campaign to ban ′roo products in Europe. Greenpeace only withdraws the film after a court convicts the men for breaking the law, and concludes that they were paid to do so by the film crew.

Of course the guy from “furcommission.com” must be evil twisters of the truth…, but for some reason, they cite everything they quote correctly! And the veggies don′t even manage to give an exact date and location of where and when the recording of their video took place.

Interesting, isn′t it…?
