Saw a doccumentary about the fur industry a decade or so ago with similar (and much more varried) horrors. Those things used to happen EVERYWHERE till not so long ago (and I'm sure still happens in some western countries). Thinking horrors happen only in strange and far cultures is quite wishful. I'm pretty sure there are geese being fed through a hose and calfs being grown in boxes somewhere in western europe nowdays.Spaniard said:Our 'Far Eastern' friends generally have a poor record when it comes to animal cruelty but that was a real shock to watch. Sickening.

You simply can't not be. Some aspect of everyone's life has been achieved through the direct or indirect destruction of other members of animal kingdom. It is absolutely unavoidable.
That said, I believe that there is one guiding, rational principle to abide by. Something all humans should be able to agree upon, regardless of background, culture, lifestyle. If an animal CAN suffer, and we are in control of that animal's fate, then it is our responsibility to make sure it suffers as little as possible. For those animals consumed by humans (in one fashion or another), death is ineludibe - excessive pain is not.
Those men in the video could have just as easily ended the lives of those animals quickly, and painlessly. They chose not to; to the point that they ceased to be indifferent, and chose to be cruel. I know this because as a hunter (and person with a brain), I'm aware that it is much easier to "clean" a dead animal than a live one. To inconvenience yourself by leaving an animal alive during such a process, in order to gain pleasure through its suffering, is a true testament to your own nature. And if there is justice in the afterlife, you can be sure that the hottest spots are waiting for these people.
So, in short, I wouldn't tell you not to buy fur. But, I will tell you not to buy if from those A$$HOLES!!

Epsilon said:Khel and unirdna both have a point. Everyone should be concious of the consequences of their actions. Then again there is always room for improvement in one's lifestyle, so accusing others is not wise. Different life situation give different possibilities to act enviroment friendly.
When furs are considered one should remember that most of the fur is used as decorations in normal winter jackets. So if someone was appalled by that video, it might be worthwhile to ask about the origin of the fur used in a jacket one is buying...
Lastly, here's a video clip that could be a little less disgusting
