    Help stop live skining of animals in China.
    visit the weblink give below to sign a petition to the government of China.
    There are some visuals available on the website but is definatly not for the sensitive. these innocent animals are skinned alive because its easier to skin a live warm animal.then these animals are left to die... I was literally in tears after seeing the visual..:cry:

    Just because they're expressing concern over this it doesn't mean they're prioritising it. ;)

    The solution to solving world hunger is also much more complex than this
    issue. It wouldn't cost China any exorbitant amount of money to change their archaic practices towards skinning animals - unlike how keeping everyone fed would.

    I'm not even much of an animal lover, but this stuff is fucked up.

    I'm too scared to watch the clip.. I don't wanna get queasy.

    I'll definitely sign the petition though, because that's just sick. I don't even need to see the video to know how horrible that is. Poor things.

    So how does the petition help tell a Communistic/Opressive country to stop doing something?

    Technically, they're a Republic, but they're communist. The government controls everything. That's communism.

    But on topic, signing an online petition won't actually help anything. But I do feel for the animals.

    But that's the definition of communism--

    communism: a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/communism]

    But we're spamming.

    China's a Socialist republic. They're not Communist.

    Anyway, filling out a petition won't do anything, although it's horrible they do skin animals alive.

    Other countries will continue to buy, and even more so because if we boycott Entirely ( Magically ) The fur out of China, they'll lower the prices everywhere else! If their Market takes a hit, and if we do indeed boycott them! Well... They'll have an over-supply, causing lower-prices, which makes Fur more available to more people ( Really, There's a larger portion of a lower class than there is a middle-class ). Plus, with lower prices due to over-supply, other countries will buy more of it! The cheaper it is to buy in bulk, the cheaper it is to the customer who apparently likes fur, and doesn't care.

    So boycotting wouldn't help.

    Well, no, if a significant number boycotted it and their market decreased they'd obviously have no business sense if it didn't affect production to some extent, being as they'd have a smaller market. You're counting on an awful lot of people to think "Well, a couple of cats got skinned alive to make this and it looks like something Cruella DeVille would wear, but fuck it, it's only a tenner".
