I received this forward from a good friend, including a video that highlights the tragedy of the fur trade and shows what happens at a fur farm. I know many people do not like PETA or their approaches, but regardless they do highlight some very pressing issues that need to be dealt with immediately, such as the brutal business of fur farming.
WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND HARD TO WATCH. However, if you have any doubts that fur isn't so bad, or wear fur, or think it's okay to wear fur, you must watch this... if you can't bear to watch it, you shouldn't be wearing fur!

If you want to act, press 'forward', add your name to the bottom and send on to as many as you like. We have to tryand stop this brutality. With a hidden camera, animals were filmed being SKINNED ALIVE. They say it's done to get a more perfect ''cut''. Afterwards the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and for up to 10 minutes you cansee their hearts still beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies' little paws still shaking. There was one pup that still lifted his head and gazed at the camera with bloodied eyes . If you don't care to see the video, please sign and forward to your friends. This monstrosity has to be stopped, we have to act!! Please scroll down and add your signature to the petition and send to everyone in your address book. Something needs to done to stop it. Thanks for your support. If we don't protect animals from this type of brutality, we become accomplices.
