Excerpt: Muskrat Love (quite disturbing - warning graphic)

Part of a doco that was on free to air public television recently. Where to begin? Is it the objectification of women, the lack of education these girls seem to be exposed to or the animal cruelty? What to say?

Read this review perhaps:

So what exactly was disturbing and or graphic about this video ?

[gerpierro]

People write "disturbing and or graphic" to get other people to watch an otherwise boring video...not for nothing, the critters were dead, you can't be cruel to soon-to-be dinner. (I'm a vegetarian & I know this). This poster is a whacko, note they spelled both "patriarchy" & "torture" wrong in the meta-tags.

Animal cruelty?

They're already dead when the people start skinning them, dude.

[lrjakes]

Great movie. Thanks for publicizing it!

ARE YOU FREE FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

I bet someone forgot that skinning a muskrat didn't get completely taped over.oops..

[chromeNRG]

you speak of surviving this apocalypse? you know where hunters are wanted these days? no where.. apocalypse will wipe you all out because it's probably going to be nuclear. Can you hunting/gathering prevent you from nuclear radiation? I don't think so.

Liberals ... because trapping kills animals to the EXCESS. It's no longer respectful and IN-TUNE with nature..... so think twice. I don't mind the details on skinning, that would be useful. But don't contend for it! And yes ... pageants are gross.

WOW! Never seen a skinning competiton before but I have skinned squirrels for stew in similar fashion. BTW, djohnsonracing needs to narrow his scope a quite bit. I consider myself to be very liberal in many social aspects and I didn't find anything particularly disgusting in this video aside from djohnsonracing's lunatic fringe ranting.

Oh, the disturbing and graphic world of the beauty pageant! Show me the receipe for the meat dish!!!! On your marks, get set, CUT YOUR MEAT!!!!

[JoJoLuvsIvan072107]

that was gross!!!!

[djohnsonracing]

Once again, nobody asked you damn liberals to come watch it, nor participate. Once again, you stick your noses where it isnt wanted or needed. Once again, you all fail to realize, not everyone thinks like you........AND your not as enlightened as you think you are. People who hunt, trap, fish, clean and cook their own food; they are the enlightened ones. Why? Because when it comes to the appocolypse....they will be the strong who survive. Put that in your tofu and chew on it.......
