Animal Cruelty

13.5 million dogs and cats are euthanized EACH and every year. That's almost THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND A DAY! Thirty four thousand a day, folks. All Because people won't take care of their pets, and they won't have them spayed or neutered. 50 million animals, including seals, fox, mink, rabbit, wolves, and DOGS and CATS (Betcha didn't know that did you?), are killed each and every year for the fur industry. Many of them are SKINNED ALIVE. They are also killed by stabbing, clubbing, or having their throats slit. Some pregnant female sheep are killed by having their throats slit, and then the babies are cut right out of their stomachs, so that the fur from these unborn babies can be used for fur liners and sweaters. Betcha didn't know that, either. Well let me tell you, I've seen the videos, so I saw it while it was actually happening, and I'll never forget it as long as I live. It is the most horrifying thing a person can witness, next to witnessing an actual human being being harmed....THIS HAS TO STOP. We, as a society, have got to stop doing this to animals. They feel pain, just like we do. They feel every single thing that is happening to them. People who wear fur, I don't care who they are, are disgusting and pathetic excuses for human beings, PERIOD. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."--Gandhi
