Martha Stewart Renounces Fur, Hosts PETA Video Exposé

[unclebone100]

Hey Martha, while I agree with you about the animal cruelty in this video, how about the CRUELTY OF THE UNBORN BABIES GETTING ABORTED???? You say you have 'Freedom of Choice' and would you speak out on the infants getting slaughtered worse than these animals? No you would not and the same goes for PETA! YOU have lost the sense of what should be our REAL priority and hate the animal killings but say nothing about the baby killings daily in this country and world. Shame on you for that!

[09mjlove]

I HATE THEM! THEY CAN ALL DIE! poor animals... :( i want to do that to those idiots and see how they feel. stupid people. i would laugh at them when there crying. haha

[thestreetsempty]

Awesome upload!

I must argue against faux fur, though. All garments under $150 can be labeled as "faux fur," even if it is indeed authentic fur. It can also be labeled as "imitation" or an animal it actually isn't. For instance, over 90% of faux fur in the U.S. and Canada is actually dog and cat from imported by China and (legally) mislabeled.

Here is a video instructing consumers how to discern faux fur from authentic: watch?v=ZuLku3xJYLs

[DianeDi]

@thestreetsempty That is a great video - if you can, please send as a video response, as I am unable to. YouTube is giving me much grief these days.

The fact that the government allows this practice to continue, is criminal.

I would advise everyone to not purchase anything if they are in doubt. We all vote with our dollars - no matter what the cause.

[agenthelios1]

The whole thing is just dispicable, but at 3:15 that animal breaks my heart to pieces completely, the pain it must have been in I can only imagine...I have 2 dogs and couldnt imagine something that evil happening. My heart fell to my stomach.

Animals have personalities and will love you if you give them a chance..Animals help the blind , they help all sorts of disabled people...and this is the thanks we give them...makes me fukkin sick!

[DianeDi]

@agenthelios1 I absolutely agree. No matter how many times I see this, I still feel the pain as if it were the first time I'd seen it. As difficult as it is to watch, I felt it necessary to post for others, some rather naive, as to where exactly fur comes. Fur always looks better on the original owner.

[agenthelios1]

@DianeDi Another thing that people need to know is that showing these videos and protesting will do NO good. The people doing it obviously dont care and never will.

The people doing this to these animals obviously speak the language of violence and cold hearttedness, so why are we trying to speak to them with logic and understanding? To really get these animals the help they need I think we need to speak to the perpetrators of animal abuse like this in the language they understand.

[DianeDi]

@agenthelios1 Although the people doing this are cold hearted, no doubt, they are doing it for one reason, money. The true culprits are these mega corporations that purchase their products to sell for huge profits. It's important to never purchase furs and skins - as this is what puts a halt to this disgusting business. Corporations are all about "supply and demand" and once the demand is gone, they no longer require any supply. So many faux products these days... no need for fur.

[agenthelios1]

I dont like PETA because they have too much rhetoric...but I do love animals and its bullshit what people do to animals.

Its dumb adn you have to be a real pile of shit to not care. We need to stop videos and start speaking the language these animalabusers understand...violence. Then maybe they will understand, since logic and civilized communication does not work.

[agenthelios1]

@agenthelios1 Thumbs up if you agree with my comment. This cruelty only continues because good people dont physically stop it. They know this is wrong...they dont care that is why they do it, so words and signs arent gonna change anything.

[supermunyi]

fuck it i am still gonna rock my fur coats ignorance is bliss

[CowtheDog]

stop! they can go to jail! a living moving thing that can communicate with ppl is DEAD, as in those workers in the video above can go to jail for MURDER or ANIMAL CRUELTY. that was beating! that's animal cruelty

[sohcsarewicked]

omg thanks Martha Stewart 

[Hinaisthebest]

what the FUCK is wring with people. what the fuck

[DianeDi]

@Hinaisthebest It's about people's desire to wear fur, not really understanding how it was made and of course, it's all about money - most people will do just about anything and these animals suffer terribly. It's no different when it comes to the food we eat, the way these animals are raised, housed, transported and killed. I am ashamed to be a part of the human race most of the time.

If you ever want to see a life altering documentary, watching EARTHLINGS - THE LINK is on my main profile.

[giaisbomb]

ALSO----China sneaks stuff out, labeling it as "FAUX FUR". I saw something on a coat in US, here, was made in China---said Faux Fur. I touched the fur, I swear it felt and looked like REAL dog hair. I read the Chinese do this, cuz they know we don't want to buy, or wear cat or dog hair. TRUTH!

[papajambo]

skinned alive!!! wtf?

[giaisbomb]

@papajambo ===YES! They beat the Animals and skin them ALIVE. They must be terrified, and suffer an excruciating slow death. We don't need Animal fur for anything.

[horsegirl8862]

they need to stop doing this to animals i ahve a mink we found him....and if anyone tryed to hurt anyone of my animals i would hurt them first....this is worng so worng......

[WakeUpWorldTV]

Cottons is just as good as any fur...

[DianeDi]

It good, that's for certain, however it is now one of the most genetically modified crops in the world - right along with canola, corn and soy bean. I was surprised when I saw a documentary about "hemp". It was the largest agricultural crop in the 1900's. Food, medicine, clothing, building materials & it seems to be resistant to almost everything.

[DianeDi]

No wonder big pharma bribed the government into making this plant a criminal offense to grow. I suppose you can't patent a plant, although the U.S. government has a patent for "cannabinoids".

Search U.S. Patent 6,630,507 - look for the government site - patft (dot) uspto (dot) gov

[sassappeal]

Liars

Perpetual Liars are worse

and these are the east Indians

(from out of the US from the Indian SubContinent that is sinking at the dirty Indian Delta but all the people know to do is to yell & scream & watch & watch till the filthy soils at the precipiece crumbling while they scramble.

this vid is a waste of time if Martha doesnt know to renounce east indians (one of whom is sleeping w/her niece & keep taking) that cause alot of filth on our earth !!!

[sohcsarewicked]

@sassappeal hi what do indians do?

[hotcontractor71]

if you still wear fur after seeing this...you are a twisted fuck

[DianeDi]

I agree, the cruelty that is allowed by law is criminal. People need to be made aware, as the video states "to make an educated decision".

[chinchilly123]

Oh the poor animals. I love foxes and such. How could they do that! I don't where fur and I never will! Those fur farmers are so sick! SAVE THE ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!

[DianeDi]

This is all about raising awareness... I for one, was ignorant to all of this a few years ago. It takes a strong mind and compassionate heart to continue on this journey.... we have been lied to from all facets of life..... government, corporations, media -- I always say, "just follow the money" and I'm never wrong... sadly I wish I could be wrong ;o(

[jesskass100]

as in many areas of the world, the law banned public smoking last year, and does anyone smoke in restaurants and bars anymore? NO, so if our government decided, fur is no longer accepted. cannot sell it, cannot by it, just cannot! your caught selling or exporting fur, bam you go to jail, you broke the law. should be as simple as that. why not stop the problem at the source instead of praying it will eventually go away, meanwhile millios of animals are being tortured as we speak, makes me so sad

[jesskass100]

I also had a live changing moment this week when i received an email with the fur farm in china video. it has overwhelmed me in ways i cant even explaim. I would like to ask you this DianeDi, you keep saying the only way to change this is to stop bying fur, and I agree it would, but there wil always be rich bitches in this world wanting to buy it and promote it(Jennifer lopez) but what about if the problem was stopped by LAW. I will explain in y next post, out of words!!

[olexia07]

Just seeing those baby seals getting beat like that my eyes started watering It makes me sad but more angry that people are doint shit like this.

[DianeDi]

Whether it's our food, pets, clothing, entertainment or the experiments that are conducted on these innocent beings, it happens all around the world, every second of every day.... Please watch EARTHLINGS.... just "google video"... and you will learn just how truly sad this world is... but guaranteed, it will make you a better person.... no matter how wonderful you already are !

[avengemm9dog]

This great. a criminal working with a criminal organization to strip people of their right to buy what they will with their money.

[syddersbby]

I love animals! and WHY? WHY? I already knew this happened but why? and why when there alive? I just simply dont get how in the meat, fur, and experiment industries why they have to torture, manipulate and put the thing in soooo much pain before they kill it. Its uncalled for and there is ABSOULTELY no reason for it. Couldnt they just simply kill them in the nicest, quicket and least painful ways. It kills me that after all the evidence that has been gathered why dosent this stop! its bullshit!

[Choungui]

I watched the china video on the peta website today. horrible. I've never work fur but now understand why many people are so insenced by the trade, as I am too. These animals are raised purely for their fur, so completely unnecessary

[DianeDi]

I suppose until people realize just where everything comes from it's difficult to make the connection. I have realized that most everything humankind does to animals is completely unnecessary... it took me many years, but so glad I woke up. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend watching EARTHLINGS.... it's on my playlist.

[GodSendDeath1980]

those guys were whoopin those seals ass.

[Spammyguy712]

This had me in tears. How can people be so cruel and unfeeling? Awful, just awful.

[DianeDi]

It is very cruel and unfeeling and done for profit. If you ever have an opportunity to watch EARTHLINGS (on my playlist) you will no doubt come aware with a different way of looking at this world. It changed my life completely. Most days I'm ashamed to be part of the human race. I guess knowledge is power, that's why I post these videos... although upsetting, most people have no idea where everything comes from.

[becful21]

i really wish this would stop! promote EARTHLINGS too! it's a pretty sweet documentary about humans and animals!

[DianeDi]

Thanks, and believe me I do promote EARTHLINGS... (it is on my playlist) it is life altering and a rude awakening to most about this world around us and how humankind crushes it and every living being on it.

[letmebeyourlady]

oh my god! i don't know what to say! i can't believe that people still treat animals that horrible way! stop wearing real furs!...

[crashy2k]

Diane Keep up being the voice for animals. We need more people like you. Some activists in organizations like peta turn people away from animal rights.

[DianeDi]

I think the secret is educating without force. I know I've met a few on both sides of the fence and if the truth be known, we all like to take things in at our own speed. One thing I've learned is you can't force someone to change their personal opinion, it's something people need to realize for themselves. Hopefully this site does make some difference. ;o)

[mark1092]

this is so fucking sad!

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

If I may make a statement about a previous comment (please don't delete this): If human beings cannot learn to care for and show respect for other human beings, what makes us think that we would do so for animals. Maybe if we first asked WHY many of these killings were taking place, we would realize that the problem in many cases, is much more deep rooted than careless behaviour.

[DianeDi]

I would never delete a comment as I believe in freedom of speech. Humans are taught to be who they are, we (you and I) can see and realize that we should never live a life with flesh, fur and by-products. Just do a google search on any subject and read, you will see for youself that this is very wrong, as well as eating meat and dairy and eggs, etc. Just look for yourself, the internet is yours to discover, as I know it was mine.

p.s. watch "Earthlings" google it, you won't regret it

[becful21]

Earthlings makes you look at things differently and understand more, but people cry "propaganda" cause they don't want to change!!! The same as if God sent a new savior down, nobody would believe him and we'd kill em like we did before so we didn't have to change!! People don't like change and unfortunately nothing will then!!! People = Shit!!

[SableKatz]

This video almost made me cry, how would if I feel if I kept you in a cadge for days without food, or smashed your face into the ground. Damn people are just to damn stupid these days.

[DianeDi]

The only way to change this situation is to share this information and stop buying these products. Any fur, fur trim, leather, suede.... i could go on to puppy mills, and factory farming, but i think you realize what i mean. We speak with our dollars, that's the only way to change the horrors of this. We are all part of this world, we all breath the same air, drink the same water, bleed red blood.... we are all "Earthlings".

[Kaiser566]

oh my fucking god...these people are sick!!!

[DianeDi]

Our world is sick.... we all must realize where fur and fur trim as well as leather and suede comes from. If we don't buy it, they won't sell it - simply as that! No living creature deserves that life... and I always say that fur looks better on the original owner.

[QueerSwede]

Yes, I had to look away and I´m sickened that people would even consider wearing fur. And it´s doesn´t take a genius to figure out that animals are tortured so even though it´s good she did this video... please don´t act like this was new to you Martha, you are smarter than that.

[DianeDi]

Good point, you know I never thought of it in those terms. It does bug me now that you mentioned it. Afterall, I figured it out a long while ago. Thanks for bringing up this point.

Cheers dd

[weeknightpigshoot]

the animal footage...aaaww. i just splooged in my pants.

[DianeDi]

We must stop purchasing fur and leather products.... otherwise... this is the result.

We can all make a difference, one person at a time.

[Happyftw]

-sigh-

I hate these people.

[LilaVollmond]

Jeder der etaws Gefuehl hat sollte auf Pelze

verzichten!Warum etwas tragen was soviel

Schmerz und Tod bedeutet?

Stop Fur - Stop Animal Abuse!

[MycatMax01]

This is so terrible but i think it's important that people can see this and do

something against furfarms and this kind

of cruelty!Thank you for this video!

[DianeDi]

It is terrible, and it happens all over the world unfortunately. I am so totally against any kind of cruelty. Humankind is really at it's low point to do these things, and for what.... money.

Have you seen the documentary "Earthlings"?

It is probably one of the "best ever" and it really makes you think - very powerful message. If you ever have the time to watch it, just go to my profile page and check my URL to it - or I have it in 3 parts on my playlist. It changed my life.....

[XxhitzuXx]

oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this video, and helping to make people aware of what the animals have to go through, just to have a coat with a fur trim. I fully support you peta in their fight against fur for fashion, and animal cruelty

[DianeDi]

Thank you... the only way to stop this completely is for nobody to buy fur or leather products... ever. It is a terrible crime against animals.... those poor innocent creatures. Fur always looks best on it's original owner!

[magikmastr]

This is horrible they should at least let the animals die first

[mangaluver1597530]

omg so sad me and my cousin were watching it and almost cried...shame on the people that killed the poor animals...

[RiazBigCock]

Sick mother fuckers, it is the fucking rich American that buy the fur from China

[heather50s]

thanks for posting

[heather50s]

i don't wear fur

[the8jrfan]

You people would rather kill humans and preserve animal life than you would attempt to save humans being killed in Africa or the Middle East. You people love animals and not humans. You support organizations like PETA which kills more animals than it takes in. Who are the real enemy? You people are nothing but hypocritical psychopaths. The ALF and PETA are BULLSHIT!

P&T Bullshit - PETA (1/3)

P&T Bullshit - PETA (2/3)

P&T Bullshit - PETA (3/3)

[DianeDi]

You need some "SERIOUS" phyco analysis. You look like the Virginia Tech killer. Look who's talking about killing humans... you're mad !

[the8jrfan]

Ya right I'm a target shooter and I'm mad. Madness is valuing animal life over human life while people that could you the attention you are garnering for animals for them. Humans are dying all over the world and all you care about are chickens!

[Igisama]

Stupid redneck..

[the8jrfan]

Sorry I graduated college and I live in California.

[djscoo]

rednack has nothing to do with where you live

[the8jrfan]

Did you figure that out all by yourself?

[meowkie]

In a way, I've seen your point before. Right now, thousands of young children are dying in desolate areas of the world, or in poor families, and men and women are being beaten or tortured to death. Some are being left in prison cells to go mad. Some have problems that need to be seen to but are disregarded.

But animals suffer just as much.

There are organizations for both humans AND animals. We aren't neglecting humans at all -- we are simply including EVERYONE in our quest for peace.

[SableKatz]

Some people help other people, and others help animals. They're both in need...

[gunromance69]

they are assholes

[Kittykat5959]

I've never been an animal lover, but this really gets to me.

This and studying animal testing in science class last year has scarred me for life.

PETA is really getting their point across, though.

[dmoland]

Greed is so inhumane! Thank you Martha for speaking out on this!

[webidiotbox]

that last shot was rather bad

[Joke759]

oh my god that's horrible
