In reply to Terry Vourantonis.

PETA was convicted of paying people to skin animals alive so they could film it and say it was ‘fur industry cruelty’. THIS is where the cruelty comes from. https://topcatsroar.wordpress.com/2013/10/19/animal-welfare-v-animal-rights-skinned-alive-is-a-myth/

The entire marine mammal protection act was based on fraud. 1964: Private film company Artek Films vilifies Canadian sealers with footage, screened by CBC television, of a seal being skinned alive. Following a public outcry and investigation, the man in the film, Gus Poirier of Prince Edward Island, signs an affidavit declaring that he was “employed by a group of photographers … to skin a large seal for the film. I solemnly swear before witnesses that I was asked to torment the said seal and not to use a [club], but just to use a knife to carry out this operation, where in normal practice a [club] is used to first kill the seals before skinning them.” A Federal Standing Committee castigated CBC “for not enquiring into its accuracy before screening,” but the damage had been done.

Despite the ruling, the footage would later be used in IFAW propaganda, even though its founder, Brian Davies, stated under oath that he had never actually seen a seal being skinned alive.

Campaign tactics of this kind were largely responsible for the introduction in 1972 of the US Marine Mammal Protection Act, which stands to this day. Among the impacts of this draconian and scientifically unjustifiable law was the end to imports of marine mammal products from Canada to the US, and the subsequent devastation of local economies across maritime Canada.
EACH seal consumes between a ton and a ton and a half of fish yearly. Soon they will be facing a mass starvation if the herds aren’t culled. https://www.furcommission.com/saving-society-from-animal-snuff-films/

I for one would like to see Ms. DeGeneres’s appearance in the Arctic along with Ms Bardot, perhaps then they would come to the realization that denying the people who do the least damage to the Earth is 1)Hypocritical, 2) Cruel to other humans, 3) their smugness would smack them in their faces! and they would probably wear a fur gladly! I know quite a bit about how trapping is regulated and stupidities like they trap new borns is repeated often, the fact is birthing season trapping is not only illegal but the summer seasons fur is worthless to a trapper.Denying Canaadas’ natives a fair and equitable market for their pelts after the meat has been eaten is also cruel to the humans who live in and protect the forests. Will they wisen up when beaver move back to the areas they originally inhabited and knew as home? Perhaps in true concern for these animals the human will destroy his home and end urban sprawl which is a killer of wild fauna. (FAT CHANCE ). Now that they realize their wrongs they turn to fur farming as enemy number one. Here they ask what size the mink cage is, well there is not a size that will make them satisfied, NO what they want is to destroy a lifetime of hard work by tresspassing and releasing the ranched mink to the elements of starvation and predation while feeling good about themselves! Well enough about being patient, here are some facts you all should know! Mink are bred to be marketed to the highest bidder at auction and only the finest breeders survive because raising a mink means a high cost for these reasons. The mink are fed a nutritous diet and never know hunger, The mink are inocculated and never know disease, the mink are taken by veterinarian suggested methods and that after the rancher has given them life and welfare and caring! The truth is anti fur organizations have spread huge lies like stomped on trampled clubbed and the winner of all lies is..,,.,.,the mink are skinned alive! wow wow and to think otherwise intelligent humans believe this bullspew and send them $$$$$$$$$$ tax free when almost ZERO $$ are spent aiding animals anywhere! is the money kept in off shore accounts? It certainly is not going to your local SPCA or ASPCA, Where is it? I know the leaders live the life of Riley while small independant family run crafts people are accused of being the cruel ones! What a shame, what a stain on caring for the environment when we know that once pristine lakes and rivers are now mercury and acid laden, when we know that our seas are polluted with plastics that are strangling aquatic life, Need I go on?
