  • wtf

    

  • that was weird and terrifying

  • this should be on tv

  • ... i wonder if those coats featured in this anti-fur advert are made of fur, they are pretty convincing fakes if they are truly imitation, pigmented, bouncy, sumptous, i think you can gather im a advocate of fur, and this video only increases my love for it! Sorry Lynx and Peta... you havent won me over yet with your unnecessary theatrics

  • Were those sounds made by the animals which were skinned for the coat?

  • Um what was the point of this? Don't twirl with ketchup in your coat?

  • Well, she needs some tampons.

  • @viperxeon ahahaha

  • in this day and age you can get artificial replica of ANY fur, furring should become illegal, it's not needed and just barbaric.

  • i thought it was gonna show animals doing stupid stuff

  • This video is not from today, but it was created in 1985, for Greenpeace (see Google).

  • @WolveFred It was actually created fro Lynx which later became Respect For Animals.

  • you stupid stupid hippies, these animals are farmed for the fur same as cows are farmed for your big macs. There is only a distinction because vegan self righteous hippies realise that if they say there isnt, there wont be too many people interested in them or their point of view. Oh and animals are dumb, i live with several "intelligent," species and they never cease to amaze with their stupidity.

  • @btahm YEs the animals are farms. But ever thought of their living conditions? It's the same as a puppy mill. Little is thought of health wise and the animals arent able to grow up naturally. Instead, like puppy mills, there are placed into cages and they live their entire lives there.

    Do your research BEFORE POSTING!

  • @MewtwosLittleOne Please excuse my typos.

  • @MewtwosLittleOne Then the issue is animal welfare on farms, not wearing fur.

  • @btahm: not only 'hippies' are against fur. yes you're true about cows being also farmed for big macs. The thing is that a lot of fur is from pets like dogs and cats. Also the way they are being slaughter is incredibly cruel. Most people who wear fur have no clue what that animal had to go through. This is also the same for meat, but still loads of animals are skinned alive, while their meat is thrown away. So please lets just respect everybody who want to do anything against animal cruelty.

  • Worse than any monster on this planet is a human without a heart...

  • It is TOTALY natural for people to eat meat, part of the natural equilibrium and our body. Whatever you vegans say, if your not eating it is your right, but saying than eating it is stupid well, you're even more dumb, go learn human life and evolution.

    BUT, It is TOTALY stupid and non sense to wear animal fur...Would you wear your grandma skin ? I don't think so !

  • The truth to this film is never keep tomato sauce in your coat

  • awesome !!

  • we are so selfish we only think of ourselves

  • What a truly amazing ad! This should of definitly won an award. Lets get this back on the airwaves to remind people fur is still murder.

  • This is absolutely a fantastic advert, bring it back!

  • Excellent video--great twist--would love to see this in real life! I am glad I live in Tampa and mostly is too hot for dumb people to wear any fur!

  • GO VEGAN! STOP USING ANIMALS!!!!

  • Dumb video Animals are for meat and fur

  • Are you sick in the head, 99.9% of all animals killed in North America and in Europe are shot humainly in the head. Also, humans have been using their furs and meat for good purposes, as it is illegal to kill animals for sport. Why do you think there are animals in the world in the first place, to pet and cuddle? GROW UP!!!

  • @AnsteyTheatres but these animals are ONLY killed for their fur not their meat...when was the last time you enjoyed a chinchilla quesadilla? Their meat is totally wasted.

  • FASHION INCORPORATES FUR

    deal with it

  • @LiamJamess faux fur is just as good as the real thing....kill an animal simply so you can wear a beautiful coat and then get back to me.

  • doing this for an essay i think wearing fur is wrong !!!

  • i will do that to peta people by tofu's white blood!

  • at least people are trying to help by minimize this problem is not going to end because this world is made for bad and good but there are more good people than bad people and i believe that the problem can be less that what it is now if we continue to promote this problem and other issues.

  • I agree with you, but I really wish, with all my heart, this stop some day and all the animals in the world were safe, without anyeone trying to hurt them and kill them for "fashion" or food.

  • 0:43 Pee-Wee Herman FTW!

  • look peeps we've lost the thickness of our fur but animals havent so we use there's.

    we are far more advanced and civilized than this cmon, we are gunna die out

  • does anyone know where i can find the poster campaign version of this?

  • ok , super paradoxe !!! pour les riches de "la haute couture" mais message qui j'espére les touchera autant que ça touchera les défenseurs des animaux ... respect des êtres vivants sur cette terre ...ciao ciao , cathy.

  • To bad as they pulled the coat off their skin should have been peeled away from the muscle and fat. And cut around the limbs and neck to disconnect the coat. Then they could have just fallen to the floor dead. Or as in some countries layed there staring at the crowd skinned alive. Of course only someone with a pulse notices this. Everyone that eats meat enjoys it. They laugh and laugh as life dies so they can live their miserable life. Worthless unnecessary humans. Earth can do without em.

  • Yeah I meet a lot of those assholes who mess with me for being a vegetarian because I have compassion for animals. I like the taste of meat but I gave it up so I don't have to support the killing of animals and everyone thinks its "Gay" or "Weak". I pride myself on it though

  • i agree human beings are like cancer to planet earth

  • @krrrruptidsoless I eat meat and I dont enjoy this at all. And 99% of the time farms that raise animals like cows/pigs take care of them and when they are killed, it is quick so the animal can be in as less pain as possible. These are the only farms that I buy meat from.

  • @Remmyrulez

    Disrespectful meateating and prejudice because you think animals are less than you. Because of what people and books say. You think taking care of something and then killing it is o.k. It never wandered freely around the planet going where it wanted to go. What do you need all that protein for anyway. There are more plants on the planet than animals. Cows have hearts, eyes and a mind. They have social orders.You never considered why you eat it or the consequences of your actions

  • Actually, I have thought and I don't think animals are beneath me, actually most of the time, I think animals are above humans. Plus, it's life, lions eat meat, all predators do but their dont wear the fur, which is what I really meant. And guess what? I dont make my oponions on what people and book say, I make it on what I feel is right. And I have considered why I eat meat, I went vegetarian for a month, then I realized I need to eat meat cause I was getting more sick and sick by the minute.

  • @Remmyrulez "it's life, lions eat meat"; course they do, but they eat animals who til then lived their normal animal lives, which include running, having babies, eating grass, etc... A live which is not even a dream for most of farm raised animals... You went sick because of not eating meat? It simply means you're unable to feed urself properly, with balanced meals and other sources of proteins. I've been a veg for more than a year and my health is excellent... Furthermore i eat less fat...

  • me too, if you face a lion without a gun, you're dead for sure, we humans are the worst. We destroy everything...

  • this is a continue on from my other one since I didn't have enought characters left. But I understand that no matter what you do there is going to people who are going to wear fur/eat meat no matter what anyone says...Plus through I do need to eat meat withouth getting sick, I eat as little as possible, around the amount I am suppose to eat. & dont say I haven't tried eating the meat replacement protein that vegetarians do, cause I have and I got more sick then usual.

  • @Remmyrulez

    It's harder to be a hebivore than it is a meat eater. Because for most people they just do what others do. Maybe you were going through meat eating withdrawal. Or believed that being like a lion was better because more people respect liers in your area. Instead of things like horses, elephants, moose, rhinosoarus, And being at the bottom of the food chain with predators and scavengers is how you want to be. Believing that meat eaters will never change is empty. < Vegetarians.

  • I get you opinion for this so I am not going to change that, cause I know thats hopeless. but this is my belief for me, if I wasn't meant to eat meat, I wouldn't get cravings......but me eating meat doesn't stop me from being against wearing fur. Through I didn't say anything about what it is harder to be. Through in my oponion, nothing's harder in life because of what you choose to eat unless it is really fattening but still. But I am not going to say anything anymore u have ur beliefs&so do i

  • this is so cheesy! even glamorous really....so there's blood ...big deal.......yes fur is an animal product and with all live creatures there is blood...sounds heartless ..I am actually a very caring person....but Fur is not a world changing issue...so many many bigger fishes to fry so to speak!

  • Luving this video, it shows how stupid is people who wear fur.

  • 0:13 micheal jackson!??!?!

  • No

    its not him

  • im doing this advert for my essay as well. thank god we had this and not something stupid like those insurance ones. compare the meerkat i can put up wiv though!

  • im doing it for my essay 2!

  • I love this advert my essay on this isnerly done this on you tube has been very useful thankyouy !! x :)

  • Scare Factor: 5/10

  • oh wow. I loved this!

    I heard this commercial was banned in the U.S.?

    is that true?

  • great clip!

  • ppl who wear fur deserve to get what you see in the other video -

  • At 0:43 it looks like "Carrie" meets "Pee Wee Herman" if anyone remembers who those two are.

  • i wanna wanna wanna a new coat made out of 400 animals

  • What I meant to say was, this is a great PSA, and dumbasses who wear fur need to know that it's technically not theirs. Who would want to pay over 1000 dollars for a dead animal's skin? I would rather buy something else.

  • Comment removed

  • It take one stupid person to kill 40 animals :P!

  • @robertpattinsonlove9 It takes one to kill everything on this planet.

  • Love the ending quote.

  • this is a truly amazing advert well done Respect.

  • Fur looks ridiculous.

  • Looks like every Tory Party Conference in Britain since the 80s.

  • Interesting History behind this shocking, but great Psa-It orginally was created by the environmental group Greenpeace, but was quickly abandoned by them when fur traders put alot of pressure on them. The English anti fur group Lynx picked it up, but then they went belly up. Next I knew , it went to PETA. (I know this because it's on my video of Psas that PETA sent me.) IK guess this Repect For Animals group must own it now. I've always loved this Psa. It's scary , and makes a good point.

  • Respect for Animals is LYNX under a new name.

  • Respect ..

  • Of course, as vegans, we see no distinction between killing animals for food or 'fashion'.

    However, there are huge numbers of people who aren't prepared to give up eating meat, and to these people there is a distinction. As an an anti-fur organisation it is our duty to highlight to these people the distinction to them in order to help them at least make the correct choice with regards to fur.

    Sorry if you were offended by this....

  • True I suppose.

    It just disagree with the double standard people have. Fur is murder, but apparently leather is great, because it efficient use of a cow (or whatever animal).

    I advocate for all anti-fur meat eaters to go vegetarian.

  • i eat meat... but im also allergic to fruits(oral fruit syndrome) and i just hate vegetables (except potatoes), oh and to contradict ur statement cuz i love meat, vegetables are alive and have blood, just not red blood... eg. with grass(i know not a vegetable) gets cut, the smell that comes comes from that is actualy grass blood... its a proven fact so

    so i make the correct(ish) choice to not eat many vegatables and also i kinda agree stop eating so much meat (even if it tast realy realy good)

  • @RespectforAnimals There is no distinction between eating meat and wearing fur, and to suggest otherwise is to say to the voiceless that certain compassionate people can accept that death by a captivebolt shot to the head is okay because we want to eat you, but anal electrocution because we love to snuggle into your fur for years is - well - it's wrong. This brilliant video stands on it's own and makes no excuses for wearing fur. Vegans should never aplogise for discomfiting meat eaters.

  • @RespectforAnimals Why are you guys vegans?

  • Well, with all this technology in fabric's and artificialskin's and fur's, why do you need to prove your still a neandothal in term's of a fashion status, that's going backward's in style, not foward's?

  • They ought to show this on tv .. so what it's scary ... it's the truth !!!

  • Sentient means feeling, beings that can feel and hurt. All animals are sentient beings, in case some haven't noticed. Yes, just like us, if someone were to kill us for our skin to make coats out of it.

    Stop buying fur coats, we are not living in pre-historic times!

  • I know, and agree with you. I used to have a similar view, before I came a vegan.

    Realistically (for most humans) the consumption of meat is totally unnecessary. Meat substitutes are fantastic, so I don't feel that I am missing out.

    It doesn't matter what the animal has been killed for. It doesn't matter what the remains of the animal are used for, especially to that animal. It's being killed unnecessarily.

    Fur is unnecessary, and so is the consumption of meat, or offal or foie gras. Simple.

  • that was gross!!

  • Indeed, but nothing compared to the murder and skinning of animals.

  • I remember seeing this commercial when it first came out, but I don't think they let it air very long, as it was deemed too graphic for television.

    Scary as Hell commercial and one I will never forget!

  • think about the animals. i love the animals and i own 2 half wolf and akita, it is a cool dog

    and about gillard a famous mtb trail in the centeral okanogan. champagne drop.

  • wow,...i saw this commercial back in the 80's, late at night while on acid and it freaked me the fuck out...even without the acid it would have....definatley got the message!!!

  • I agree with not wearing fur but then again it says it take up to 40 "DUMB" animals to make a fur coat. Then it says respect the animals...Um, Hello?

  • Does this really need explaining?? Hint: Dumb can have more than one meaning?

  • @RespectforAnimals

    Dumb is defined as: lacking the power of human speech; "dumb animals"

    Thus - an animal can not speak for itself - a human can. But is too "dumb" to know better than to wear an animal's fur!

  • @RespectforAnimals well all beasts are dumb because they lack the human power of speech (not saying theyre stupid, just that what dumb means) but it should have just said 40 animals and 1 animal to wear it. its still insulting to the person wearing the coat but not insulting to animals and people who try to protect animals because they dont care if you call them animals :P

  • @0ArtisticFreak0 You don´t get it, they are trying to use the same words that those people would use. They are giving a message in their own languaje. The people that uses fur believes they are brilliant, and animals are stupid. In this commercial, humans can be "stupid" as the animals killed for fur.

  • @0ArtisticFreak0 "Dumb" means "stupid" but also "who cannot talk", like in "deaf and dumb". That's where the pun is... Kisses from France ;)

  • i hate fur. poor animals die and we wear it, disgusting REMEBER when you put that coat on you support animal cruelty and your wearing a dead animal. hope you proud of yourself. stupid people. i love peta!

  • brainless twats, unless you live in an igloo, there's no reason to wear fur...you're not showing off your wealth, you're showing off your stupidity

  • First saw this at college when we were showed adverts using shock tactics. Very disturbing, it gave me nightmares.

  • i hate fur. i dont' mind leather because i eat cow any way and i like to know all the cow is used not jst select parts and wool is just shaven of so no harm there. great ad btw!!

  • "i hate fur. i dont' mind leather because i eat cow any way and i like to know all the cow is used not jst select parts and wool is just shaven of so no harm there. great ad btw!!"

    I hate fur, too. But I also hate leather.

    Why would I "hate" fur, which comes from a murdered animal, but not "mind" leather, which, unsurprisingly, comes from a murdered animal.

    Is it because you find mink/foxes/dogs etc cute, and cows not cute? Come on!

    The wool industry isn't as pretty as it seems though :)

  • Brilliant advertising.

    Now that is how you get a message across!

  • We gotta do a essay on this =/

  • excellent ad; really says it all

  • haha i like this one. why would you want to wear someone elses skin? the cruelty to the animals that they use is disgusting and there are more fashonable things you can wear that dont kill animals.

  • Ask Ed Gein ;)

  • ive seen this one

  • great commercial

  • tat is crul wat they do 2 those animals sike lol love the cumersal

  • I'm Totally against fur and leather and wool.

    They kill animals for theyr skin. And I know that cows are domesticated animals, but I think they have the same right to live on this earth as any human or animal...

    When It come to plants if you eat an apple you don't kill the tree, you just take a fruit from it... It's like when the stylist take your hair from your head.

    STOP ANIMALS CRUELTY!!!!!!!!!!!

    Beyonce and JLO, Fuck you Bitches!

  • sheep rnt killed for their wool just sheered in a very comftable and painless way seriously look into these things if ur going to say it

  • MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I like this add thank you lynx

  • what a great point at the end!great video!

  • "People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs."

    --Anonymous

  • genius video. people are nothing else as dumb animals. no they are even more dump...

  • Most designers STILL use Fur ~

  • Well done.

    I understand the need of fur back in the past... to survive through winter and all, but I'd take it we have evolved since then...

  • love this commercial. this is not why animals were put on this earth. we dont need fur to survive. this is not caveman times. leave the fur to animals. personally i think that wearing an animal carcass around me is just gross and unethical. RESPECT FOR ANIMALS!!!

  • love this commercial. this is not why animals were put on this earth. we dont need fur to survive. this is not caveman times. leave the fur to animals. personally i think that wearing an animal carcass around me is just gross and unethical. RESPECT FOR ANIMALS!!!

  • Why would you want to wear the skin of an animal you've loved all your life?....

  • why would you want the skin of any animal on your skin??

  • Most fur animals are essentially wild animals (not domesticated) and are killed purely for their fur - i.e for vanity.

    Leather is often seen as a seperate issue because it's from domesticated animals and (is claimed to be) a by-product of the meat industry.

  • Awaken !

  • I love steak but I think wearing fur is just tacky.

  • lololololol

  • this advert was very disturbing when it

    was first aired and it was used as a side

    gagg in the 1989 hit ghostbusters 2 movie

    infact both the advert and the movie was made in the same year aqnd this advert was not for the faint hearted and may no wonder it was classified as an 18 rating and was it aired

    after the watershed and i think it got banned

    from tv after constant complains about this advert 20/10

    frankie smales

    (frankie smales movie and tv review uk)

  • I saw an article in a magazine on how to spot a real FAKE. You should pinch a bit and burn it with a lighter if it smells like plastic its a fake (buy it!!!) if it smells like burning hair report it.

    Apparently people were using dog and cat fur as a cheaper alternative.

  • This shows almost every worst aspect of the 80s. A classic, ripe for another showing, I think, cheers :-)

  • ACTUALLY.

    It takes up to 140 dumb animals to make a coat.. but one 1 to wear it.

    (it takes up to 140 chinchillas to make a coat)

  • true dat

  • i wish this was still on tv, it's a very good commercial. It could show more people how disgusting wearing fur is, i'd rather freeze than wear it.

  • It takes some heartless ass to wear a fur coat. Fuck everyone who does.

  • fantastic TVC classic directed by david bailey

  • This is amazzzing, my friend showed me it I was like :O I never want to wear fur. No point =D <3

  • Hiya Heather its Alex Hart XD

    Omgosh we were just like eww in our lesson XD

  • oh right your alex heart lol im becca doyle...eww how gross is that ad oh also in this 1 you hear the gong at the begining :P

  • Our English Teach Showed Us This Today in Class and She Said It Was Banned, We Didnt Think It Should Be Though Because It Shows the True meaning of Animal Cruelty. I love the pun at the end it's very good!

    Thanks For Adding It, I wanted To Show My Mum It :)

  • hi heva!

  • Poor animals for our self centered egotistical vanity. For what??? Doesn't anyone have a conscience?

    SICK AS SICK CAN GET!

    TIME TO RISE TO THE CAUSE AND HELP THESE POOR ANIMALS.

    This moves me deeply, thank you for sharing it.

    STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY

  • im a veggie i hate animal crulty animals rock

  • You do a disservice to rappers. Not all rappers are insensitive morons.....

  • HUMAN BEINGS ARE BRUTAL SAVAGE ANIMALS TO KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY EXPLOIT ANIMALS - EVEN TO THE POINT OF BOILING ANIMALS *ALIVE* AND RIPPING THEIR SKIN OFF THEIR BODY WHILE *CONCSIOUS* IS BEYOND DISGUSTING. The human race's lack of compassion toward animals, trust me, will be our downfall.

  • Right on! Powerful film. It really does reflect upon the depravity that is behind the fur industry. (well made too)

  • I got shown this in media studies and i'm doing it for english coursework... it is really shocking isn't it.

  • Very appropriate video!

  • omg im with this anti fur group.

  • Funny how people are offended by this commercial so much so it was banned. Too bad people aren't as equally offended by the cruelty animals suffered in order to make fur coats and accessories.

  • i dont get it. where's the animals?

  • The 'Dumb Animals' are the people who choose to wear fur.

  • That's disturbing.

  • very famous LYNX advert, campaigning against wearers of fur

    very strong advert and i know you'll all agree.

    this one was made in 1989 but there is one from 1992 which is also very hard hitting

  • old advert but great

  • do you like puppies. it takes 30 to make one shirt

    24 arctic foxes to make a jacket

    10 seals so make a jacket

    20 bunnies to mkae a jacket

    they stay in cages where they cant even stand up. the ones that die are thrown out. there skinned alive infront of other animals that no there next. there beaten totruted and robbed of life

  • were do people make puppiese out of shirts. most shirts are made out a cotton, not dogs

  • love it its sooooo powerfull of a message

  • 5 stars

  • BAAAHAHAHAHA!!! CLASSIC and a powerful message! Kudos to this ad!

  • its so sad to think that anyone still wears fur I hope those that do see this film its brilliant

  • I love this advert! its a good message and its powerful :)

  • Thankyou for making this advert lynx because its a really good example to try and persuade people to not wear fur! those poor animals dont deserve to suffer! its a really big message aswell at the end when it says It takes 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat but only one to wera it and its true!

  • seriously? wats wrong with faux (sp?) fur??

  • where it comes from. the atrosities animals suffer beyond your mind to make 1 fur coat.

  • Um, "faux" means fake. Faux fur is made of synthetic clothing fibers, plastics. Unless you take offense to the killing of little plastic critters, faux fur is probably nothing to get your panties in a knot about.

  • he said FAUX fur, as in artificial fur.

  • it is so mingin but it is wot reli happens, the models just strut around as if they dont care but they should care about what they reli are wearing nd stop wearing it coz if they do keep wearin it ,wen all the animals are extict they will be to blame!from emily w xx

  • Excellent - if you wear fur watch it. If you have a heart you won't wear fur again.

  • i love it i love it awesome...! people who wears fur are relentless
