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.

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

2010-05-20T18:58:00.004-04:00

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.

Links to other incidents where Police kill innocent family pets and got away with it!:

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!

2009-09-03T00:15:00.003-04:00

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!

2009-08-26T21:36:00.004-04:00

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.

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.

Dreaming of escape: One tiger paws at the netting as others look on from their sparse enclosure

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.

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

2009-07-30T21:44:00.010-04:00

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.

Ringling Brothers Circus- The Cruelest Show on Earth

2009-07-24T23:24:00.004-04:00

Again, I'm showing another video about the treatment of circus elephants. You don't have to like PETA to realize this is inhumane. Hell...I don't care much for a lot of their tactics, by some of their radical members, but as a whole, they do a lot to expose animal cruelty and help to stop the exploitation. The next time your kids want to go to the circus, remember this video!

From NYDAILYNEWS.COM

The feds have launched a probe of Ringling Bros. after undercover video showed trainers hitting circus elephants with whips and bull hooks.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday it will review footage to determine if "The Greatest Show on Earth" has violated the Animal Welfare Act.

"We take the protection of animals very seriously," said Dave Sacks, spokesman for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, an agency within the USDA.

"We will initiate a thorough investigation and provide the findings as soon as available."

The video was made by a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals activist who posed as a Ringling stagehand for six months this year.

It appears to show trainers leading the animals toward the stage while striking them repeatedly across the head, legs and body.

PETA - which has accused Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus of mistreating the elephants for years - has filed formal complaints with the USDA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and agencies in seven states.

It also called for Madison Square Garden, which hosts the circus in New York, to cut all ties.

A Garden spokeswoman said executives will "discuss this kind of matter with [Ringling Bros.] directly and not through the media." At Ringling's summer circus in Coney Island, news of the video didn't worry ticket holders.

"They shouldn't be abusing the animals to give pleasure to children - but I saw the elephants. They looked calm," said Laurie Bisco, 55, of New Jersey.

Something to Think About Before You Take Your Dog to the Shelter

2009-07-13T09:10:00.010-04:00

The following Blog article was written by my friends at SAVING FURRY FRIENDS
I'd like to thank them for their permission to copy the article here. This is truly an "IN YOUR FACE" and "HITS HOME" article I've read in a long time. I hope you'll take time to visit SAVING FURRY FRIENDS and their BLOG.

So just what did you think would happen to "Spot" if you dropped him off at the local shelter?

First let me start by saying this bulletin contains graphic images. The reason I chose to post these photos are multi-faceted. First I want to clear up any illusions that owners in southwest Va. have, that their precious dog “Spot” will surely find a home the reality is that Spot has less than a 10% chance of getting out of the shelter alive. Despite saving 204 dogs in 2008 our county shelter still had a 90% + euthanasia rate. To say say 20 dogs euthanized does not have the same effect as actually seeing it, being there. My only regret is that many of the folks I reach with this post already know what I am saying. I am preaching to the choir but for those that don't know, are not aware, here's your wake up call.

I chose today to post this after walking into a shelter to find one of the ACO’s in tears. In tears because two dogs that were just owner surrendered never even made it to the kennel area they were immediately taken to the euth room and euthanized as there literally was not a single solitary empty kennel to put them in. I post this for her, for all the people who say they couldn't do her job, for all the people who hate animal control this is a reminder that you are the reason they are needed. For those of you who say animals wouldn't die if it where not for animal control, I ask would it be better for them to die of starvation? be hit by a car only to languish in a ditch for days until death is a welcome relief? There is one person and ONE person only to blame and that is the OWNER.

I also post this for myself. For all the folks who think we try to raise funds too often, for all the folks that expect us to be cheerful as they surrender their pets, for all the folks who roll their eyes when us rescues give lectures on spay and neutering, on behavioral modification to correct behaviors that drove the owner to bring the animal to the shelter in the first place. For my extended family and friends who don't understand why we are constantly stressed but also driven.

I post this for every owner that gets a dog without ever having researched the breed. They have no idea as to the dogs size, energy level or grooming needs. A little research and you would have known that a border collie would not be a good fit in your one bedroom apartment.

I post this for every rescue out there begging for help that falls, many times, on deaf ears.

Many, if not most times, they are the only thing standing between the animals and death.

Most of the time when a plea is sent out about an animal in need many folks are generous with their funds, time and home a great number are saved but a great number are also lost and that is a side many don't see. More than anything this post is for them, in memory of them.

Is This Really Worth It, Just For Your Entertainment?

2009-07-07T11:17:00.004-04:00

This is the truth about Ringling Brothers Circus elephants so many families go to see just for the sheer joy and entertainment. Is this REALLY worth it just so you and your kids can get a "thrill"?

So you say you LOVE animals? Did you know they are tortured and die for YOU?

2009-07-02T09:37:00.007-04:00

If you use household products and toiletries, as most of us do, then you need to know how these products are tested! And we aren't just talking about mice here!

Do you smoke? Do you take medications? Do you use cosmetics? Are you aware that ALL of these tests performed on animals are insignificant to humans, therefore completely unnecessary. There ARE alternative methods for testing products that DO NOT use animals and it’s been proven to be a more accurate method of testing! Let’s put an end to this animal holocaust!

A WORD OF WARNING! Your own pet could end up in one of these testing labs if it ever ends up in a shelter, given away for free, or stolen. Not all dogs stolen are sold for dog fighting "bait"! Testing Labs will pay for dogs...no questions asked, and there are people who know this and WILL steal dogs from yards just for the money!

There are people who watch for ads (especially on Craigslist) listing FREE or cheap dogs and appear to be the "perfect loving family" for your pet. They are very convincing and good at what they do! Always do a home check and ask a LOT of questions to be sure you have found a good home. Get a Vet reference if they claim they just lost their beloved pet. Be vigilant and be aware! If something doesn't "feel" right, don't sell to that person! Go with your gut instincts. Don't put yourself in an "urgent need" situation to get rid of your pet. If you must...There are rescue groups as an alternative.

Most often, if you ask for any amount over $100 (within reason), people who really want your pet as a family member won't object. People who will re-sell your pet to labs don't want to pay that much because they can't make a profit.

People who buy dogs for "bait" MAY pay as much as $300 because they know they'll make that money back if they know they have a winning fighter.

Many shelters sell animals to labs just like this one, but they'll never tell you that!

Chained To You - Dedicated to Shepp

2009-06-30T13:08:00.003-04:00

A memorial song for Shepp, a sweet German Shepherd starved to death on the end of a chain which was tightly embedded into the poor dog's neck.

Shepp was rescued by animal protection services in Corpus Christi, USA, September 2008. Sadly Shepp lost his fight for life soon after he was rescued.

JUSTICE for SHEPP

Shepp was a dog that was left for well over a month, to die with no food or water and chained to the extent that his collar was embedded in his skin. No one cared. The neighbors saw him suffering, yet nobody did anything until it was too late. Someone had placed food by him, but by then he was too weak to even get up. Someone contacted (KZTV) a news station that stands up for people and animals alike.

Shepp was taken to animal control were he was cared for by the vets and staff there, I know for a fact, for I was able to see him from behind the glass on Friday afternoon. The tech, vets and staff that were there with him, treating him with such compassion and care. Shepp passed away later that afternoon, which was devastating to the vets and staff.

His will to live was there, he wagged his tail and even tried to lift his head. However his body couldn't take it, due to the extreme neglect he endured for a month. He left this life. (KZTV Action 10 News) has set up a site for Shepp, they will remain attentive to this story.

What is needed is signatures on a petition started out for justice.

In these cases of cruelty it is often difficult to catch and charge those responsible. For one month. Shepp had no food, little or no water. There are many that are in dire need of help and it is appalling how long this went on.

Our VOICE can make all the difference ..

Please take a moment, as hard as it is, please, view the video. It tears me apart, but to bear witness, we shall speak out for those that cannot.

Thank you my dear friends. And please REPOST Shepp's story far and wide. That justice may prevail and to those who stood by and did nothing you must be held accountable as well. For the guilt lies heavy upon you.

10 years on a chain. No blanket, toy, or bone. Often no clean food or water. AAS first saw her at night, lying in the frozen mud, being snowed and sleeted on. Lying in her own feces, surrounded by her own excrement.

This is NO life for a dog..no excuses!

Silent Screams: Dogs & Cats of the Fur trade- It Needs To End NOW!

2009-06-21T14:38:00.004-04:00

Look into the eyes of YOUR pet, and then imagine wearing their fur. You can't, can you? You can't even begin to imagine the horror and pain these animals suffer.

Even more horrifying is what you may not know....these dogs and cats are skinned alive!

Is There ANY Good Coming Out of China?

2009-06-15T19:53:00.001-04:00

You can help us end bloodbaths like this and protect dogs in China from future culls

A death squad pursues a terrified dog.

Please help stop the slaughter.

A massive cull in the Chinese city of Hanzhong has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 dogs - and now we need your help to make sure that it never happens again.

The local government ordered the mass slaughter of all dogs as the result of a few cases of rabies deaths. Dog killing squads are stalking the streets, mercilessly beating dogs to death with sticks and rocks.

Friendly dogs - even healthy family pets - are being slaughtered right in front of their owners. Can you even begin to imagine how you'd feel if that happened to your dog?

IFAW has pleaded with government officials to stop the killing - and now we turn to you.

Please help us stop these cruel and massive slaughters once and for all.

Horrifying scenes of cruelty

Some of the pictures from culls like these are so horrifying that I can't even show them to you. And I hate having to describe this, but I think you need to know the truth about what's happening.

In one series of pictures, several small and fluffy white dogs - you can just tell they're used to snuggling on the laps of their loving owners - are trapped in a makeshift cage. One by one, the dogs are pulled out with a pair of long metal tongs, and brutally beaten with a stick. And then - even though it appears that some of the dogs may still be alive - they're tossed into a pit to be burned.

I can't even imagine the pain and terror these poor dogs endure when the fire is set.

So many dogs will suffer slow and painful deaths...we must stop this cruelty now!

What we're doing and how you can help

We have received so many messages in the past few days from animal lovers like you inside and outside China - pleading with us to step in and stop the slaughters like the one in Hanzhong City.

I assure you, IFAW is working to end these culls:

We've already contacted local authorities in Hanzhong City to urge them to end the slaughter. Now you can help by contacting the Chinese Ambassador in your country.
IFAW is creating an emergency rabies vaccination fund so that we can offer rural communities in China an alternative to mass slaughters like the one in Hanzhong. Please give generously to our emergency rabies vaccination fund.
We're working with the central government to pass animal welfare legislation in China that will ensure the humane treatment of all animals. IFAW has already helped major cities like Beijing establish dog regulations that mandate humane vaccination and population control.

We CAN stop culls like this

We recently joined with concerned animal lovers in China to stop a similar mass slaughter in the city of Heihe by pointing out that the killing of dogs that have rightful owners is a violation of the basic rights of a citizen - owned dogs and cats are considered the "personal property" of Chinese citizens, and should be protected under China's Constitution.

Plus, it has been proven that rabies can be effectively controlled by a well-managed vaccination program. In fact, a humane vaccination and neuter program in Chennai, India, has dramatically reduced rabies cases there by over 95%.

So we must act now to stop the killing! Please click here to contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country to call for an end to mass slaughters like this and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals.

And then please donate what you can today to help us set up an emergency vaccination fund to help cities in China establish rabies prevention programs, help eliminate these mass dog culls once and for all, and to continue our mission to protect animals around the world from cruelty.

The slaughtered dogs of Hanzhong City deserved a better fate. Please help us ensure that dogs in other communities in China are protected from similar mass killings.

Thank you so much for your help,

Fred O'Regan
IFAW President

p.s. I have to tell you, the images of this dog slaughter keep me up at night. If you've ever enjoyed the companionship of a dog, then you know that they truly are members of our families. Please help us protect family pets by donating to our vaccination fund and our anti-cruelty campaigns around the world.

Please forward this e-mail to your friends, family, and colleagues who care about animals as much as you do.

99% of People Do Not Know These Facts!

2009-06-04T22:47:00.004-04:00

2,000,000 cats and dogs are sadistically skinned alive every year in China for their fur and left to die slowly in shock and excruciating pain.

The animals are caged in cramped conditions, often fed on starvation rations or on the skinned carcasses of other cats and dogs.

Prior to skinning, they are dragged from their cages. The skinners hit them with a heavy metal rod or wooden club to break their necks or backs leaving them incapacitated and unable to defend themselves. Smaller animals are sometimes picked up by a hind leg and swung against the cage or the ground to achieve the same result. In most cases the animals are alive and conscious during the whole skinning process, squealing and yelping in agony in full view of the other terrified animals waiting in their cages for their turn.

In some cases the dogs may be led to a place of execution, where they are chained together or in a row. Each dog watches the horror metered out to the others, listening to their agonised squeals and frantically struggling to get away. When finally a man or woman walks towards it, rod or club in hand, the struggling terrified animal leaves no doubt that it knows exactly what is about to happen.

When incapacitated, the animal is usually strung up by a back leg or held down by a skinner wearing heavy boots for protection, standing or kneeling on its neck, to stop it from wriggling away. After incisions are made in the fur with a knife, the skinner forces his or her fingers under the fur and taking care to ensure that the whole pelt comes away in one piece, rips the pelt from its writhing agonised body. A bullet or lethal injection is too expensive and the skinners say it’s easier to rip an intact fur from a live warm body rather than one that is dead and inert. The ghastly task is completed when the helpless animal is entirely stripped of its fur – even the fur from its head is torn away.

The skinned animal is then cast aside to die in shock and excruciating agony.

This is probably the worst case of mass cruelty inflicted on helpless animals in the history of our so called “civilised” world. 2,000,000 cats and dogs skinned alive every year translates to 5,479 per day or 228 helpless animals suffering this unimaginable horror every hour of every day of every year – year after year.

The callous indifference shown by the Chinese government towards the suffering of the animals is inconceivable and completely unacceptable..

Cats and dogs have no animal rights in China and they never will unless we – the people who care – fight for those rights on their behalf.

If we don’t, the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.

EARTHLINGS

2009-03-23T23:18:00.003-04:00

A MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY -

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby

When Will People Ever Get It?

2009-03-01T21:38:00.004-05:00

We must learn to have compassion towards animals...take responsibility for our actions in the way we treat them. We must put an end to the DAILY carnage that our society has created! Those who refuse to do so, deserve to be treated with the same disrespect as these animals have.

Sammy's Story....An Unimaginable Act of Cruelty...And Love....

2009-02-08T20:17:00.006-05:00

I don't usually use my blog to ask for funding, and be assured I am NOT asking for any this time either. What I AM asking you, is to watch this video about SAMMY and IF this touches your heart, and if you wish to help monetarily, then please do so, but what I'm really asking, is that you pass this video of Sammy's story on to others so they can see that even though he was so brutally treated, his will to live and love is stronger than the evilness of the person (or people) that did this to him.

MANY thanks to all those involved in Sammy's rescue, the Vet and surgical team, and to the love and devotion of Noah's Ark Rescue.
