Exciting China Fur Update

Avatar of Rachelle-O

Posted April 6, 2005 by Rachelle Owen

Last month the China Fur Commission(CFC) claimed that China adopted international practices such as electric shock and injection to slaughter fur animals, and said that the expose done by Swiss Animal Protection and East International was invented or exaggerated. Yesterday the Beijing News, with a circulation 500,000, published an article based on the field investigation of their own journalists. Their report and the photographs they gathered corroborate the findings of animals being skinned alive and beaten to death with sticks. If you’re fluent in Chinese, take a look at the article for yourself. No matter what language you speak, the following video speaks volumes.

River of Blood
Patti Davis, daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, is the latest celebrity to take a stand against the cruel Canadian seal hunt. In her article for Newsweek titled “River of Blood,” Patti writes:
How have we allowed this barbarism to increase? Are we so numb that we don’t care anymore about hundreds of thousands of innocent animals who did nothing but be born? If most of us rounded a corner on a highway and saw a slaughter like this, we would call the police, we would scream until our throats gave out, we would probably charge the men with clubs. We wouldn’t say, “I’d do something, but there are so many other problems in the world …” The fact that it’s taking place in Canada doesn’t remove our responsibility.
Read her full article, and pass it on to your friends and family.

The billboard is already attracting tremendous media attention, and similar billboards have also risen in New York City and Denver, Colorado.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
