Fur Trade

The horse slaughter trade was what really freaked me. It is huge in Canada. I don't see horses like that but I guess lots of people do.

There is still a horse slaughter house open in downtown fort worth. It is called Bel-South or something like that. Maybe its Bel-Tex. Don't rememeber. My dad used to work at a place next door to it. I rememebr being real young and seeing tons of horses there. My dad would never tell me what they did there until I was older.

Yah. They made it illegal in Calif. a few years ago, but the governator is trying to tweak the laws his way, to make loopholes where they can still do it...

I started to watch the video. I got about 30 seconds into it, just right after the host was done talking, and couldn't take it. That was about the worst 5 seconds of video I have ever seen!! Please, do not watch that video. I'm telling you, I only saw like 5-10 seconds after the host was done and it was sickening!! That is just awful!!

I never wear fur anyway, I think it is wrong, no matter what. But I didn't know that they have it even in faux fur. Yuck!! Never again for me!! I don't care that the US banned it, I bet we still get some of it anyway.

Here is a neat web-site dealing with national laws. The search engine is a little too fast, but it has lots of good stuff. Oh, I did not watch it yet Isis, maybe after a few drinks, after work... http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stuscacalpencode598a.htm

I made the link clickable. --protodog

Mollie, I got as far as the dog yelping (first 10 seconds) and stopped it. That is just terrible.

I immediately put my name on the patition!

Thanks Proto, I want to figure out that link thing. I see the url tab on the toolbar. It tells me to enter the url, then it tells me to enter the title...I need a book for this.

OMGod! I cannot stand it! I got to the part where they killed the shepherd and heard it scream and immediatly got sick! I cannot handle stuff like that but I suppose its publication is necessary to make people aware. I am just very upset over it! UGH! I get so emotional over this stuff. Humanity has gone to hell in a handbasket! How can people do this? Sorry all but IMO there is a special place in hell for people that could do such a thing.

That's horrific.

P&D and Oasis, that is exactly how far I got too. Just hearing that dog yelp in pain made me absolutely sick to my stomach and it made me cry

Those poor doggies!! They skin them while they are still alive!! WTF is wrong with people??!!

Thats one i'll NOT be looking at. I've seen similar ones and they are horrific. How anyone can be so heartless is beyond me.
