oh my god your ignorant arnt you! I knew it had to do with PETA
Listen kid. You can't skin something alive.
You know those fur guys are only out to make money right? They breed and kill animals for their fur. Right? For money. This is true.
The biggest factor here is THEM making money. Do you know how they can lose money? Damaged fur!
If their product is ruined they arnt making squat.
If an animal is alive while skinning, it would twist and turn and jolt. That would make many holes in the fur, since skinning is a delicate process and skin is NOT thick on all mammals. So tell me how it makes sense that they would keep them alive to skin them? They want to do it QUICK and make as much money. And they won't risk that by having something jerking around and ruining their profit.
So that's cleared. Now.
See these pelts in the photo?
Guess where they came from.
Not a ranch. Not a fur farm. Guess again.
They came from the wild. They came from HUNTERS who kill for population control so a bear or a coyote doesn't maul you as you walk to the store everyday.
Lastly its not cruelty. They arnt alive. And frankly, if you can somehow get it through your thick skull, ranched animals are treated AMAZINGLY.
Want to know why? Money. If the fur isn't good they make no money. If an animal is unhappy (as I'm sure you've seen)
The fur is matted and messy and broken. If an animal is happy and well fed, they produce good fur.
The farmer we get them from doesnt WANT to put them down since he breeds them for pets. Yeah. Pets.
The mean nasty ones who bite and scream, or the infertile, or the messed up ones are the ones we get.
But that doesn't matter since these are all wild animals anyway who died by bullet and not starving to death. Unless you want them to starve. Then well just stop hunting.
Haha.
Getting real sick and tired of you PETAtards who think you know it all.
You can actually skin something alive, do I have to define what that means to you?.
Living/conscious/breathing. They incapacitate the animals then skin them, only 5 minutes later some of them are able to stand up and blink in the last seconds of their lives! Just watch the video you will understand or you can simply neglect reality like you have been doing for so long.
I could incapacitate human and skin it alive. It would be a great torture technique no?.
Now I have to teach business 101, Basic supply and demand. China over the years has become one of the largest traders in fur and animal parts, because of the demand that is generated quality control goes down to meet the demand of the market, The demand is so high that international companies contribute to the market. Shark fins these days go for around 450$ a fin, Slaughtering the animal just for money is pathetic then again there are hit men out there that do the same.
The only people that get mauled by animals are the idiots that rightfully need to get mauled for natural selection to occur. Sure the American way is if their is a threat, kill it. But culling off populations hosts a ton of other problems for example you cull off a pack of wolves, you then get an increase in deer population but in turn the increase in population of deer has effects on the environment around it.
As soon as human's interfere with the balance of nature, everything fucks up.
You throw a shark into a fishpond, where did the fish go?
I was just merely trying to educate you on what happens elsewhere in the world.
Its good that you are staying away from buying furs from a fur farm, at least you have a little dignity.
After something is dead after a form like electrocution, the body tends to still move around although its dead. That's probably what your seeing. I'm not looking at that video, call me all the names you want but I know those people are fake, ignorant shitty people who lie. I won't give any of their videos views.
And my point. Once you kill all the deer, then the wolves will starve. Where are we then? Trying to save both is just idiotic. If there are too many deer, kill them. If there are too many wolves, kill them. If we don't keep balance in nature then things will just go haywire. And a bullet to the head is better than starving to death.
I like to know where my things come from. I admit I have the blood on my hands but its little price to pay for my love of animals. I wouldn't be in this business, pay hundreds of dollars and study hours and hours on end, and learn from great people if I didnt love the animals I work with. You can say taxidermy is "animal cruelty"'but its more of an art than any human can even dream of being successful at. And if someone says I'm a Murderer, well I kind of am. I pay the guys who hunt. But that's fine by me, they have to be culled and I'd rather make art then watch things rot away.
For what its worth I'd mount any fur farm animal to at least give the poor damn thing more respect than it had in its previous lifetime.
If I do buy from them, they're all American fur farms. All the taxidermists go to two people mainly and one breeds for pets (like I said previously) and we know how they're treated. It's rare anyone here can even get something from china since its almost always unmountable or is already a pelt. (Not worth collecting sometimes...)
You can blame people who wear fur costs for that, not us collectors/artists. Although scraps to come here from Finland, Russia and China. One or two other places as well.
