Fur farms..animal hell on earth!

[NorthernLight12]

Thank you for posting this, spreading awareness is needed. I think that if people who wear fur saw what really goes on, many of them would stop wearing it. ALF has all my love and respect for doing this, I would like to join them one day.

This video is a real eye opener. While I'm all for shutting down these horrible fur factories I think thoses animal activists that released those mink are totally irresponsible. Kind of defeats the purpose of release the mink when the free mink in turn spread disease and kill other innocent animals. I live quite near this fur farm and thanks to those animal activists there are no swans in the area and lots of pets including my rabbits have died because of diseases spread by these freed mink.

Personally i hate fur farms, their owners, and those who buy their products. but what really gets me is the people who "liberate" the mink. Short sighted idiots who are responsible for the extinction of the corncrake from Ireland, of which only 50 breeding pairs remain in the Shannon Basin, whom are protected by wildlife rangers stopping the onslaught of the invasive predator the mink. I have seen them kill signets, trout, mallard and a juvenile heron. STOP RELEASING THEM INTO OUR COUNTRYSIDE !

@kimberlily1983 ... to say that.

[kimberlily1983]

@ContaMuir17a You might be right. I find myself going back and forth, sometimes thinking it should always be about non-violence, sometimes thinking it's occasionally necessary to fight fire with fire. I'm a non-violent person, personally, but I just don't feel ready to 100% condemn others' violent actions, when those are done to free others from violence. You could say those people, those warriors are not non-violent, but are they wrong to do what they do? I just can't bring myself...

@kimberlily1983 It is vital that, along with any other actions people take, that all of us work very strongly to make the cruelty & violence against all innocent beings both seem morality reprehensible & disgusting to the vast majority of people & work strongly to change laws to make this violence illegal & punishable by both incarceration & large fines. Once it is illegal taking actions against it will be much more simple & effective. Acting like criminals closes peoples minds to truth.

[ContaMuir17a]

@kimberlily1983 I do understand what you are driving at, and why you feel that way, but if we resort to violence to correct violence are we truly nonviolent? -- The answer to that is obvious. As difficult as it is to believe most people are not truly aware of what is going on in the world. They have been happily conditioned not to ask questions. That is why I rely heavily on graphic visual & auditory evidence to wake people up. Many have thanked me for bringing it to their attention & changed.

thanks ALF, great video!! its about time people see what happens in these hell holes, only knuckle draggers continue to wear the fur of another animal...ive protested outside one of these places in Ireland and there well hidden from the public, Irelands shame!! close them down!

@kimberlily1981 I'm not saying they don't but the ALF are completely irresponsible for realeasing mink where they did, Irish biodiversity is gong to decrease ten fold in the next few decades.

[kimberlily1983]

@tarlachmgc You vastly underestimate the power of big corporations, and the general preference of people to remain ignorant of the horrible suffering caused by their ways of life. I agree that law reform is one area that needs activists - and there are many - but the sad fact is that the many, many years it will take to see change in legislation won't help the ones being tortured now. :(

[kimberlily1983]

@kimberlily1983 ... and the only way you can defend your child is by severely harming or killing the murderer, what do you do? I understand that some people think it's always wrong to kill, even in these circumstances, but I can't say I'm one of these people. If there's another way, yes, do that, but in the real world there often isn't. :(
