You obviously don’t know anything about livestock farming. 99.9% of people can understand that caring for livestock produces a better product. You just happen to belong to the remaining 0.1%.

The fact that you’re expecting people who abuse animals as a job to be honest about their line of work says all I need to know. It’s like asking a serial killer for an unbiased statement on how cruelly they kill their victims, do you expect them to admit the extent of their cruelty? It makes no sense on a farmer’s part to care for their commodified products, they breed, kill, harvest, and move on. No matter how they raise their victims the end result is a shot or slash.

Hi Marlo, as the author of this blog post, I can say that you are putting words into my mouth.

1. There is no reason to think animal activists are staging videos “very frequently”. Instances of such videos are few, but they do get a lot of exposure when PETA et al. use them in their campaigns. Also note that there are many shades of grey when it comes to “staging”. For example, in the Angora video it may simply have been a case of offering a free lunch to a poorly paid worker to act more roughly than normal. Who knows? The real fraud comes in presenting it as standard operating procedure, which we are quite sure it is not.

2. Harvesting of Angora wool does not come under the auspices of the fur industry. We reported this case because our experiences have been comparable, and because we were asked to do so by North American Angora farmers. Our common ground is the argument that it makes no sense from a business perspective to treat either farmed furbearers or farmed Angora rabbits cruelly. For that reason, it makes no sense to put a full-time observer on every farm, and the evidence needed to launch a proper investigation must be more substantial than a propaganda video from such an unreliable source as PETA.

Wolves, bears and hawks don’t have factory farms where they breed and pass their prey along a conveyor belt to produce fashion for their overpopulated species.

1. That animal rights activists, who care about animals and whose motivations are only to see animals one day be free from human-inflicted harm, go about very frequently staging horrifying operations being done to animals, since there are many picture and video documents of this sort of thing.

2. The fur industry, which is motivated completely by profit, cares about its animals to go to lengths to relax its rabbits as they are being stretched and not cause them any cuts, and that their response to these *extreme* videos showing the opposite is not questionable, which has been to say ,”We can’t just put an observer on every farm. Instead, let’s just ask whether or not it’s possible that it didn’t really happen”.

Wow, which one sounds more full of crap?

Well, A.A., that line of thinking really doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Of course this website represents the fur trade. We state so clearly here: https://truthaboutfur.com/about-nafic More importantly, it is implicit throughout this article that such practices could actually exist in theory. That is why we use the question form to ask viewers if they believe it. We have been informed by angora farmers that these practices never occur in reality, but short of placing independent observers on every single angora farm, we cannot state that with 100% certainty.

Joe, get a grip. Are you suffering from the lockdown blues? The rules here are simple. Read a blog post, and then make a comment that is relevant to that post. Provided you keep your language clean, we will publish it. But you just keep hammering away submitting comments on one post that I don’t think you’ve even read. Play by these simple rules please. Your language is fine, but your comments are irrelevant. Do better.

How many times did you comment. You don’t allow opinion other than yours, because you are the TRUTH….as you see it.

I’ll bet you censor a lot of people. It’s easier that way.
