Mary Had a Little Lamb....

There are many materials today that replicate animal skins and furs. To have a real lambskin coat, or handbag is considered a luxury. What you'll see in this video isn't as luxurious to the animals who become our fashion and dinner fare.

The Butchers You Don't See Behind the Meat Counter

I must admit, I am not a Vegan. I choose not to be, but I am a vegetarian. Hopefully, once you watch just a fraction of this video, you will become one or the other as well. If you could just imagine, for one second, YOU are one of the animals in this video, feeling the fear, and the agony of your doom. Consciously feeling every second of your death........

COPS WHO KILL THE INNOCENT

While this video is not very clear, you can still see and HEAR enough to know what is happening. Police killing people's pets in their own homes and yards is increasing and they are getting away with it! Most of them are unjustified murders! I've included links to several similar stories. These are what you NEVER see on the news, yet they're sure to show dogs who attack people. What about the innocent pets who are murdered by law enforcement every single day? What kind of justice do they get? What about the families...where is there justice? JUSTICE? I believe this is becoming as extinct as many animal species.

The list goes on and on in which Law Enforcement used such deadly force. There were many cases in which Police entered private fenced yards because they were chasing criminals and just shot pets to death who happen to be in the yard at the time. Some were Senior dogs well over 10 years old!

A Common Practice at Chicken Hatcheries-Inexcusable!

The Chicago-based group Mercy for Animals has just released a shocking new undercover investigation, which documents male chicks being ground up alive in an egg industry hatchery. You see, because male chicks don't lay eggs—which means lost profits for the corporations—the industry doesn't consider them worth keeping alive.

Of course, I could describe this inexcusable cruelty until I'm blue in the face, but the video says it all:

How your fur - trimmed garment is made....and YES it's from CHINA!

China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in U.S.

When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut.


Pledge to go fur-free at PETA.org.

When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera.

Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.

Just When You Think China Couldn't Do Anything Worse!

Battery farm for tigers: The 1,400 big cats whose body parts are prized on the black market

In the wild, they prowl across hundreds of miles of jungle.

In contrast, these tigers share the wretched experience of battery hens.

Here in South-East China, hundreds of the endangered animals are cramped in tiny pens - and are slowly starved to death, say critics.

The reason, it is said, is that they are worth more dead than alive.

The Xiongsen Bear and Tiger Park is home to 1,400 tigers - more than live wild in India.

Sticking together: A group huddle at the Xiongsen Bear and Tiger Park

Each year their numbers are replenished by the birth of hundreds of cubs.

Chau Wei Sum, who owns the park, says it keeps the animals from extinction and provides a tourist attraction.

But others believe his venture is effectively a farm - which, when the animals die, might provide body parts to the market for traditional Chinese medicines.

The trade in tiger-based medicines was banned in 1993 when China came under pressure from other nations concerned that the cats were being hunted to extinction.

However, the black market is profitable. A dead tiger can fetch up to £500,000.

Tiger bones are ground to a powder to improve strength. They are said to be worth £160,000 - more than ten times the price of the pelt.

Penises are sold as aphrodisiacs and whiskers are said to cure laziness.

The carcasses are also made into wine and brains mixed with oil to form an acne cure.

Penned in: Tigers are housed in rows of small cages at the park

Both the Save The Tiger Fund and the Wildlife Protection Society of India have accused the park of producing tiger bone wine.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species has called for it be closed.

In a cold store at the park lie the skins of hundreds of tigers.

They have been skinned and gutted, perhaps in readiness for the law to be repealed.

Mr Chau is alleged to have sold some, supposedly to raise money to feed his tigers.

Ticket sales do not cover his running costs, he says. But prosecution is not something he fears, as the government supports his venture.

There are thought to be 50 wild tigers left in China.

India has the greatest wild population, but it has halved in six years.

Free At Last, Free At Last...Thank God We're Free At Last

Many thanks to the HSUS for their hard work and efforts to free Puppy Mill Dogs. Don't be fooled when a retail puppy seller tells you their pups come from "reputable or licensed breeders". If the pup is bought from a retail store, then this video will tell you just what these "reputable and licensed breeders" places look like.

Those Cute Baby Seals - Namibians Don't See Them That Way!

Warning video footage is VERY GRAPHIC!! It was in 2007 that this video was made, but it's the same year after year and this year, they banned news coverage and cameras. You might figure that ASIA has something to do with this as well.




The second-largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world is just off the southern coast of Africa in Namibia.



During what's been described as "the cruelest seal 'hunt' on the planet," The Cape fur seals are rounded up on Namibian beaches and slaughtered over a period of 20 weeks, The pups are still nursing when they are clubbed or stabbed to death.



The annual commercial seal harvesting season in Namibia officially began on July 1 with a quota of 85 000 pups due to be clubbed to death and 6,000 bulls to be shot on the country's coast.



Cape Fur seals are killed mostly for their fur. Adult males are also killed for their penises, which are exported to Asia to be used as aphrodisiacs.
