The video has been editied since last week. I am in no way condoning the use of fur, please look at the facts. If these films did not hold such a shock value they probably would stop. The more grusume the film the more donations.
"The video includes clips of foxes and raccoon dogs (tanuki), both animals which are also taken from the wild, in a marketplace setting. One man appears wearing a butcher's apron as he quickly kills a raccoon dog. However, another man, wearing street clothes (black leather jacket and pleated black pants) brutally skins alive a raccoon dog that he has hung on the back of a truck (license plate removed). The animal tries to bite the man and struggles aggressively, making the process extremely difficult.
The camera comes in close on a skinned, but still moving animal on a pile of animal carcasses. While the moving animal is covered in blood, showing its heart was pumping during the process, the animals beneath it are clean, as they would be if skinned while dead, which, of course, is the standard, normal procedure and the ONLY acceptable one by humane standards.
Another scene shows a man wearing tattered shoes, hitting a fox on the head with a knife, temporarily stunning but not killing it. He then struggles to skin the obviously alive, moving animal, alternating with beating it with the knife. The animal struggles so much as to make the job impossible, and a shot is seen of the man's shoes on the animal's head.
It is nonsensical to suggest that skinning an animal alive is normal practice since even this film of inhumane behavior proves this process to be difficult and dangerous, and furthermore the pulse of the living animal would cause extensive bleeding and damage to the fur. It is therefore highly likely that these scenes were staged. [My emphasis . . . ed]
Even if you are an Animal Rights activist, completely unsympathetic meat eating, hunting, the use of animals in biomedical research, the use of fur and leather, and you believe wholeheartedly that any use of animals by humans is by definition a cruel violation of the animal's "rights," you really have to ask yourself what conceivable purpose could be served by brutalizing animals this way?
After all, if your goal is to obtain fur for profit, why would you make things so difficult for yourself by struggling with live animals? There are simple, cheap and efficient ways to euthanize many animals at one time (just ask PeTA — they killed upwards of 10,000 animals over one 5 year period . . .). "
