Do you think that it's ever morally justifiable to kill animals so that their fur can be used for clothing, furnishings, or trinkets?

    Absolutely NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lisa Dickard - 14 years ago

    How could anyone ever think that this is okay?

  • Cathy Shawley - 14 years ago

    We are not in the stone ages there is absolutely no reason to have to use animal fur or hides for anything. What kind of a person could skin an animal while they are alive and obviously suffering in severe pain and what's more what kind of government finds that acceptable?

    What is worse: 2 millions of cats and hundreds of thousands of dogs killed each year in China or:
    Quote: "The nearly 300 million turkeys killed each year in the U.S. spend their entire lives crammed in large sheds with little room to move."

    Can you say that these 300 millions of turkeys are killed better?

    What levels of depravity to people have to stoop to make a quick buck. Our treatment of other living creatures is so below anything approaching respect, I have none for those with egos that think this is ok.

    Diese barbarischen Morde müssen gestoppt werden. Tiere empfinden wie
    wir auch Freude, Liebe, Angst und Leiden, aber sie können das Wort
    nicht ergreifen. Es ist unsere Pflicht, als Stellvertreter zu wirken
    und denen, die sie ausnützen, niedermetzeln und foltern, zu
    widerstehen.

    its disgusting the thought, i used to think that fur was a glamorous statement, but indeed it is a gross, inhumane, selfish act to kill a life for mere enjoyment, don't wear animal products, look at your shoes too , is that leather ? what are your clothes made of? always wear faux fur. try buying organic cotton. its a bit more expensive... but you will have the satisfaction that at least your buying real material and not not made in a sweat shop half way around the world by children for pennies on the dollar... educate ourselves! try to be vegetarian! i used to be a person who thought not me i love meat... i don't see my self eating just veg's.. but guess what i was soooo wrong. i wish i had the will power to start earlier!- a little boost. watch the movie "food inc" it changed my beliefs :) grossed me out as to the filth i was ingesting ! average person who chooses to be vegetarian will save 95 animals per year... that is not including poultry..

  • Maria Holmkvist - 14 years ago

    Absolutely not

  • Chi P Nguyen-Zeh - 14 years ago

    Those barbaric people that beat up and skin those innocent animals alive are no different than the devils. I call for a boycott of not just fur but all Chinese products. If we supporting them, we are no different than them!!!

    As Mahatma Gandhi once said: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"

    Shame on you China!

    no wwayyyyyyy

  • Dawn Gencarelli - 14 years ago

    In my opinion it never has been justifible, nor will it ever be justifiable, to torture any animal with any means, including skinning them while they are still concious and able to feel pain!

  • Cory Moshman - 14 years ago

    Absolutely NOT!!

  • Mary Tripoli - 14 years ago

    Pat Gup my thoughts exactly!! I'm against glue traps for mice but would have no mercy for animal abusers being being skinned alive!!

  • Eileen To - 14 years ago

    So much sick people in the world, abusing for only money. It makes me ill that all this goes on. I am grateful for the people who are fighting for the helpless animals. Let´s all stick together and carry on fighting for animal rights !!

  • Pat Gup - 14 years ago

    Humans don`t need to eat nor wear dead animals to survive, if I could rule the world it would be a vegetarian world and animal abusers would be put to death by the same manner in which they are abusing animals !

  • David Thomas - 14 years ago

    I have seen other videos depicting the same thing, this has to stop, there need to be strong ENFORCEABLE internationational laws prohibiting this kind of barbaric practice

  • Desiree Hernandez - 14 years ago

    hummanely kill the animal at the least b4 u skin it! some people need to not breed, bad brains.

  • Taz Barkley - 14 years ago

    How anyone can vote YES or UNDECIDED (I DONT KNOW) is beyond me, the answer is always NO!!!!!!! Let's skin you alive, see how your family takes it!

  • Sudharsana Skanda - 14 years ago

    no one sees the actual killing.. thats y this feigned ignorance and "don't care" attitude. anyone who has looked into the eyes of an animal in the slaughter van or heard the shriek of birds in a meat shop, seen dozens of birds tied together upside down on two wheelers for their last journey.... cannot walk past without feeling guilty. after all ,no action taken is an encouragement !sometimes i think its no use talking to adults. school children should be explained these truths.. they will make a difference.

  • Lisa Maynard - 14 years ago

    Cotton- The fabric of our "live"s!!

  • Dionne Irwin - 14 years ago

    It's a disgrace that 21st century people are wearing fur and not only that but the skin of other animals i.e. preserved skin - LEATHER! Go Vegan.............stop walking around with fur trim /fur products and suede, silk, wool and leather shoes/belts/ bags etc..............make a change!!! all animals suffer and die for their fur/skin or hair - stop the suffering!!

  • Miriam Schaeffer - 14 years ago

    Its torture!

  • Shawn Wolvin - 14 years ago

    not when we can make materials that feal and look exactly the same as fur only cut out the whole "killing defensless animals" part out, in the day it was acceptable but now we're too many people, there is too much of a demand and if it continues soon there will be no more fur. PS @ Rusty: yes we're top of the food chain but that doesn't mean we can't be responsible about it, if we keep killing animals left right and center for every whim we have there won't be any animals left

  • Adrianna Janiczak - 14 years ago

    NO!! not anymore.!

  • George VanSteen - 14 years ago

    @ Rusty , you have a point in caveman times but how can you justify the way these animals are killed in china ,, live skinning , i see youre a hunter of deer , but i doubt you would ever skin the deer alive , i mean really how sick is that in china ?

  • George VanSteen - 14 years ago

    totally disgraceful and quite satanic in my opinion , just look at Sarah Palin the wolf killer i hope she drops dead

  • Kathryn Hamilton - 14 years ago

    A grizzly practice...nuff said.

  • Carlos Rodriguez - 14 years ago

    we treat our vilest criminals with dignity yet we turn a blind eye to the slaughter of these defenseless creatures. what's wrong with this picture?

  • Naomi Ligovich - 14 years ago

    Stop it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beas Basu - 14 years ago

    who r the persons voted for animal killing and saomebodies r unsure wheather to kill animal or not.........what is going on!!!!!! !who are they? plzzzzzzzz my earnest request to the mankind...find out and throw them out from the society immdtly.......save our babies..

  • Tegan Eldridge - 14 years ago

    Last time i checked, animal skin belongs to the animals that it covers. How is it justifiable to kill a living being for its skin? Those that condone these senseless acts, albeit actually perform the act of skinning an animal, let alone a live animal, should be subject to being skinned themselves. Eye for an eye! Greed is ignorance, and ignorance is murder!

  • Joseph Pollard - 14 years ago

    No I do not think it is justifiable in this day and age. However, I do not think it will ever stop because those kinds of ppl are just cruel at heart and do not care about any thing but themselves. Even if it is wrong to use animals for finacial or other gain, they could at least not be so cruel and kill the animals first. There are ways to painlessly kill something. If you wanted to sell my skin to someone, and I could not do anything to stop it, I would atleast want you to kill me first.

  • Za Johnson - 14 years ago

    i believe it is justifiable to humanely kill an animal ONLY if you are going to use all parts of the animal for survival. Use the meat for food & the skin for clothing &/or shelter & yes the bones can also be used for various things. To kill for the sake of killing or so somebody can flaunt the fur item as a status symbol is just wrong.

  • Mike Kyriakou - 14 years ago

    I know plenty of humans id like skinned alive !!

  • Belinda Ciurleo - 14 years ago

    Never!

  • Cat Hester - 14 years ago

    i think skinning animals alive is pure mean& evil.these people are SICK & down right mean.there is NO EXCUSE for this at all!!!.i think they enjoy torturing these poor animals.i hope ther is a specail place for these so called people when they leave this world.and a loving heaven for the animals that have been abused by humans.

  • Taru Bappert - 14 years ago

    skinning animals alive? never. nowhere. for no purpose!!!

  • Besides that.....it would HURT LIKE HELL TO BE SKINNED ALIVE! For those pro skinning alive, try it some time and tell me how it feels!

  • Anyone who hunts or tortures any animal in any way is mentally ill. To be able to obtain pleasure from those activities is just sick behavior. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, skin for skin??? Sounds justifiable to me!

  • Jeannie Gray - 14 years ago

    There is "no excuses" for skinning animals alive !!!

  • Rusty Shakelford - 14 years ago

    Fur for use in Winter Survival situations. This is OK for any number of reasons to protect Human life

    It is called the FOOD CHAIN...I am on top....Freaking deal with it!

  • Rusty Shakelford - 14 years ago

    Fur for use in Winter Survival situations. This is OK for any number of reasons to protect Human life
    It is called the FOOD CHAIN...I am on top....Freaking deal with it!

  • Olivia Nichols - 14 years ago

    i agree with james

  • Gloria Naranjo - 14 years ago

    No stop the killings now!, no more skinning animals alive!

  • Debra Furness - 14 years ago

    There is now need to kill or harm any animals for any reason. You can live a happy health life without the harming of any animals of any kind - NO EXCUSES!!!

  • James Schoberwalter - 14 years ago

    Very disturbing. Must be stopped. Skin the skinners!

  • Elizabeth Engstrom - 14 years ago

    No way!!!

  • Bonnie Wong - 14 years ago

    never!!

  • Agnes Sakowska - 14 years ago

    I voted noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Agnes Sakowska - 14 years ago

    The problem is that the stores sell nice leather bags and shoes etc
    but they never show how the leather was obtained. People do not care unless they
    see it right in front of them :(

  • Trisha Echeverria - 14 years ago

    30 votes say yes????? How can you possibly justify killing like this? I would love to hear your response, any of those 30 who can enlighten me.....what is your thinking pattern?

  • Lydia Brindley - 14 years ago

    How can people be undecided ??? 12 votes not sure if its ok , bloody hell where are they at ????

  • Lydia Brindley - 14 years ago

    i would just like to shoot the humans who do tgis, put them outof their misery...permenantly !!! I have joined the group awhile back , but will not look at any of the info ..too much !!!

  • Penny Barliakou - 14 years ago

    I am freaking out!!!i can't believe what we have become!we call them animals but the truth is that we are the animals!the animals only kill to survive...we kill just for the of it! i am telling you if i ever see something like that ...i will go to jail!there is no other justice!this is the world i am going to bring my child in....!there are no words for what we have become!the people that still care are the only solution!fight...

  • Sandra Britt - 14 years ago

    I love animals. I always have and I always will. Anyone that could skin an animal alive has no heart.
    I think Cathey Worley said it very well. I totally agree with her. I did watch the video. It was horrible and I can't get it out of my mind. It was very painful to see, but I think we as animal lovers need to know what is going on so we can work to put a stop to it. Why should these beautiful, innocent animals have to suffer so someone can prance around in a fur coat. These people make me sick. All it would take to put an end to the suffering is for people to stop wearing fur. I don't think that's too much to ask.

  • Meghan Siewert - 14 years ago

    Thank you to everyone who voted no. With this type of strong support I could only wish that killing animals be outlawed but unfortunately the sick people of the world hold a higher power than me and have no morals.

  • Sarah Elaina - 14 years ago

    killing animals is awfull. get you own skin

  • Jakk Golescu - 14 years ago

    I guess anyone whos ever been stranded in the wilderness with no shelter or protection from the elements and took an animals life for its coat should go to hell. The way you put the question itself is biased. Animal cruelty FTL, but in some cases, killing necessary. Just sayin.

  • Caroline Brennan - 14 years ago

    Absolutely NOT! I got in a cyber fight on this sight last night over the riana wearing fur= and I said her boyfriend should knock her around some more and I got attacked because this women said I was promoting violence against women! What a crock of crap! I said man, woman, priest, whatever if they wear fur knowing where it comes from and KNOWING it is totally disrespectful to animals- I'ld knock them around myself whoever it might be! She couldn't get that! No I do not support domestic abuse but harm animals for vanity I'm happy if you get knocked around! End of story!

  • Melissa Stacy Spurlock - 14 years ago

    Whoever voted yes, please contact me directly and tell me WHY you voted yes. I am certain it's just more cause to make me ashamed to be of the same species as you and those doing this horrific torture.

  • Cathey Worley - 14 years ago

    Nothing deserves that kind of pain. Just because we are at the top of the food chain does not mean we have the right to torture and maim at will. It is a pitiful thing to watch but everybody should see that film and if they can still put fur on their body, then they need to be written off as a human being. J Lo, Beyonce, Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn, the awful Olsen twins see nothing wrong with it and wear fur all the time. I boycott all of them. They sicken me.

  • Angela Jablonski - 14 years ago

    I feel that the person who skins an animal alive should have the same done to them. Animals have nerves, blood, muscle and skin just like we do. Humans are part of the mammal family. Infact, we have more hair than a chimp. They should feel what it's like to have their flesh pulled away from their muscles, legiments, and tendons. Their nerves exposed to the air, feeling their heart pump blood to a skinless body while they lie in the dirt, screaming from the pain.

  • Cindy Seton-Cowles - 14 years ago

    I think the natives had it right-only out of necessity, the animals were respected and revered, and there wasn't a bit of the animal that went to waste. This bullshit now sickens and angers me, and as a native, tears at my heart and soul.

  • Jennifer Harville-Merritt - 14 years ago

    My wish is that the people that said yes and the people who commit the act - ROT in the farthest conner of hell. The ones who commit the act of skinning the poor animals should be chained up around the neck and be forced to watch their closest most dear loved ones be clubbed in the head then skinned alived and after all the loved ones are gone through and they haved watch each and everyone and heard the screams and cries for mercy - do it to them very slowly. I HATE these people - DAMN them all!!!!!

  • Marilyn Niederberger - 14 years ago

    Anyone who would skin an animal alive should be sentenced to life in jail without parole - electric chair not a bad idea....sorry but I can't stand hurting defenceless animals!!!!!

  • Patrice Torrillo - 14 years ago

    Who ever said Yes. Id like to skin you alive then let you lay there and rot from the inside out and you can see how it feels! Your just disgusting! This needs to be Stopped and it should be a crime to kill any living thing in this way!

  • Eila Regaudie - 14 years ago

    Anyone skinning an animal alive should be shot in the city square

  • Marilyn Niederberger - 14 years ago

    Anyone who would skin an animal alive should be sentenced to life in jail, without parole!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pia Eliassen - 14 years ago

    The 4 % who voted yes may not have seen the video, otherwise they are fucking sick in their head!
    This is happening, and is so disgusting and disturbing that I have no words to describe these human acts...!

  • Paula Yost-Tackel - 14 years ago

    Add a comment..If I had the monies. I would bomb every fur factory in China or else where. This really discusses me, those are GOD'S creatures and don't deserve this hursh killing. Damn use fake fur, stupid Chinese....Hmmm wonder what chinese skin goes for???.

  • Yiyi Etznab - 14 years ago

    I could't even watch the video!, these people are the animals, Iwish they burn in hell!!! And can feel the same pain!!!

  • Debbie Fitton - 14 years ago

    i love animals i thk its disgusting.

  • Lilian Jerez - 14 years ago

    That is despicable!!! This should be against the law!

  • Charlie - 14 years ago

    Hell yeah...
    I eat their meat, wear their skin (leather), and enjoy the progresses of cience trough experimentation. This is how humam kind has lived since its dawn.
    However, I find that regulations are crucial because we to have evolved:
    1 - Endangered species must be preserved
    2 - They should die as painlessly as possible.

    Apart from that... I have to say, thart clothing, furnishings, or trinkets coming from animals is mostly from cows.
    We eat them, and they die whitout pain so... we might as well take the rest of the resources. To not do so would be just plain dumb.

    As for the chinese farms... I really couldn't care less about what chinese do to their animals when I know what they do to their people.

  • Amanda Thomas - 14 years ago

    That is just plain horrible! There is absolutely no reason to put these poor defenseless animals through this inhumane and disgusting act. This acts have to be stopped!

  • Vanessa Peng - 14 years ago

    I can't believe 4% said yes, they must watch the videos again~ >"

  • Briana - 14 years ago

    NO, IT'S NEVER OKAY!!!!!!

  • Linda Bohach - 14 years ago

    Thats nothing short of murder - ridiculous!!

  • Carol Mooney-Croote - 14 years ago

    Is is Morally Justifiable to Skin people???
    Why should animals suffer the same fate?? Cuz they have no Voice???....We are being their VOICE!!
    Most of these poor things aren't even dead yet before they are skinned...Some shit is just beyond imagining

  • Joan Yielding - 14 years ago

    Animal fur, belongs on animals!

  • Catherine - 14 years ago

    There are actually votes for yes? Have you truly lost your minds! My God! Where is the humanity?! People who like this make me sick!

  • Robin Drewry - 14 years ago

    I have seen video of how its done,in most cases the animals are still alive!!

  • Gunilla Björkegren - 14 years ago

    Never will such thing be justified in such a terrible way.

  • Rebecca Sloan - 14 years ago

    Absolutely NOT!

  • Debbie Knauff - 14 years ago

    I think it's terrible how animals are treated. Everyday I hear something new & it disturbs me. In our country this is considered animal abuse & they pay a hefty fine for it. This should also be for China or any other country that mistreats it's animals. Leave the animals alone. And people should stop wearing fur or faux fur. Is "vanity" really all THAT important??

  • Da'Ves Malone - 14 years ago

    who said yes

  • Katheryn Patterson - 14 years ago

    I can't even watch this! These people have no feelings....how can they go home and kiss their kids after such brutality?

  • Gilly Madle - 14 years ago

    Absolutely disgusting - no human being could commit this act. Unbelievable - inhumane, it just makes me cry - poor little creatures, what in God's name did they do ??? to deserve this ??? Anyway i've heard about the video and there,s no way i could OR would watch it.

  • Debbie Muirhead Allsopp - 14 years ago

    are the ones voting yes the ones wearing the fur coats and no knickers

  • Richie Jarosz - 14 years ago

    i watched part of the video to this and i had to turn it off in about 3 seconds that how diskusting i thought it was. i dont understand how anyone can treat an animal so inhumanely. i hope the worst for anyone in life that mistreats any kind of animal period.. these people should be ashamed of therselves.

  • Castaneda Guadalupe - 14 years ago

    Monsters!!!!! those who said yes. they are not human beings. horrible!!!

  • Julie Flanagan - 14 years ago

    oops, I accidently hit yes when I definetly meant no! I think that might be where the 6% is coming from.

  • Laura Montoya - 14 years ago

    I cant believe 5% said yes...beast!

  • Sunaina Holey - 14 years ago

    Its just not justified at all.. we human beings have no rights to hurt or kill animals....

  • Rose Frances - 14 years ago

    I would like to put a bullet up there asses the basterds

  • Tricia Turner - 14 years ago

    Do they think animals don't feel pain? I guess they simply do not care. It's how they earn a living. How very sad.

  • Karrie Vollen - 14 years ago

    lets skin those who think its ok??!!!! then see how they feel....

  • Lorena DelReal - 14 years ago

    It's just so wrong!

  • Elfiedor Kitsch - 14 years ago
