Animals skinned alive

My dogs ashes came back to me..It cost a bit but at least I know she went to the pet crem..

......all but one my beloved pets have been carried back out of the vets freshly dead and warm and taken home for burial .......

.....one of my cats was euthanised at home on the hearthrug - which I thought at the time was the best way - but the vet couldn't be bothered taking the usual care and was worried she would claw him - so he plunged the needle into her heart and she died fighting for breath in my arms - instead of the gentle passing I wished to happen - said vet has died since - I hope the devil has him ..........

.....on a lighter note - my last beloved euthanised cat came home in my arms - but as I lifted him to step out of the car - his bladder went - all over me and the car seat, floor, mats - everywhere - he was an 'entire' tomcat..... neutradol is the most effective product ever!!!!

I have emailed Andrew Turner, our local MP, and sent him the link. As I can't go to China myself and kick the proverbial out of the people doing this emailing the local MP is the only practical thing I can think of doing. Actually, Gordo can have an email too...

I had a reply from our local MP's office which states he will be looking into this further. Folks, if you haven't already done so, please write to your MPs.

I haven't had a reply as yet, but wholeheartedly second Vectisbirder's sentiments.

Don't just let this abomination fade away people. The more of us that contact our MP's the better chance that something just might get done.

Here's the link again: -
WriteToThem - Email or fax your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, London Assembly Member for free

If you have any doubts at all - watch the video link posted by tufftie at the start of the thread.

These animals are suffering needless & horrendously cruel deaths - please don't turn a blind eye.

Regards
Mike.

I wrote to my MP last week. I've yet to have a reply but I will let you know if I do.
Perhaps we should apply the suffrogette approach and chain ourselves to something to get some reaction.

I too have had a reply from Andy Burnhams Office in London saying he will be looking into this.

I have seen this film on another animal site, signed the petition etc. I'm not easily shocked or made to cry but this film.... I would love for someone to skin some of those vile "people" alive and see how they feel how anyone can condone this is beyond me. Unfortunately fur is coming back into fashion. Supermodels who before condoned fur are now happily swanning around in it.

I wont say anymore for fear of being permanently removed from this site, I'm that angry

Agreed Volence. Trouble is, these so-called 'celebrities' and (not so) 'supermodels' have all the depth of a puddle of spit and shifting morals.

These so called "super model" numpties should be forced to sit and watch the Animal Savior video, and then asked where they stand on the wearing of fur as a fashion commodity.

I don't doubt that the only dogs half of these types will ever be aware of are those they carry around in shoulder bags as though the animal was some sort of accessory to go with their haute couture fashion.

I've just watched a typical fur promoting spokesperson (I could think of several more apt adjectives), on The One Show, regailing the fact that fur looks better, feels better, is more glamorous, and women want the real thing. My heart bleeds for them.
