OK so I watched the video of the racoon dog being skinned alive in China. It was skinned alive for its fur. I watched it and it made me want to vomit.
How can humans behave like this? I have a theory. I remeber reading a quote by some long dead famous animal advocate (but i can't remeber who). The quote went something like....
If animals had a concept of heaven and hell, of angels and demons, we would be their demons.
This has been jangling around in my head for a good long while. It as has always seemed pretty much on the money for me. I see how humans treat animals, and it is appalling. disgusting. wrong. selfish. cruel.
We do to animals all the horrible things we imagine demons doing to us. So maybe we are the demons. It would make sense.
Anyway, I am ashamed to be human.
Watch the video if you think i am over reacting!Otherwise don't comment!

If those of use who are against animal abuse are too scared to watch what happens to these animals, then we will not be angered and we will not be as motivated to give them the help that they need. I think we at least owe it to the animals to be a witness to their suffering.

Dogs and cats are also skinned (many still alive no doubt like this racoon dog) for their fur in China.
