Age of Cynicism

I received an email yesterday titled Cruel China. In it was a video clip about dogs and cats placed in small cages, transported to a skinning factory whereby they are first slammed to the ground then skinned alive. It almost brought a tear to my eye when i saw the clip. Somehow i couldn't post the video here so this is

the youtube link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0ZDgQzeh4c.

Another link which shows the animal still alive after being skinned,

this made me cry - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtjqCdqdb2I.

What the fuck are they thinking? I don't believe only the Chinese does it as i'm sure other backward countries populated with idiots with the IQ of an ant does it. Oh wait. You have a nice leather bag from perhaps LV? I wonder where did that piece of skin come from. What did you have for lunch? Chicken Rice? Where did that chicken come from? I'm not going to paste all kinds of links showing how animals die because you can easily find them on Youtube or other video sharing sites. All religions has a God in their beliefs. They all preach that life is valuable. So this animals are not lifes? Some religions preach reincarnation. That could be your grandmother in your pocket or you just ate someone's unborn child.

The main drive for all this? CONSUMERISM. Your selfish wants and desires. Would you die without a leather bag? Is leather the only material for bags? Only coats made of real fur keeps you warm? We have an eco system in place. Some animals will always eat other animals. Those animals that gets eaten are usually the weak, old or sick. It's nature's way of evolution, of keeping healthy numbers. There's nothing wrong with eating meat until such a point the demand far outstrips the supply. Instead of reducing our intake we created animal farms with the sole purpose of mass producing animals for food. All this because of consumers like you and me. Is there a solution to all this? Yes but it will never be done. Everyone in this world will have to ban leather and fur goods. We all have to reduce our intake of meat to an acceptable level supported by nature. Only animals that have died a natural death are to be consumed. But it will never happen. Humans will keep consuming because they don't care where it comes from, they are selfish creatures which only cares about when they get what they want. Govts and businessmen will not allow this too. Govt loses tax from businessmen who loses profits. If people like you and me can find videos like this on youtube, why can't they stop it? Apparently there are no laws in China regarding the killing of non-endangered species. I wonder if homosapiens are considered as non-endangered seeing that they are the most populous country in the world.

We all can help. We can stop using animal products. We can become vegetarians, for those people like me who has problem becoming vegetarians we can do our part by eating only natural meat instead of farmed meat and only eating occasionally instead of all the time. They are all lifes and all lifes are equal. They are our friends. If we truly are ranked higher on the hierarchy of evolution, we should do our utmost to protect those on the lower levels, not harm them. Think about it the next time you're tempted to consume anything related to animals. Think about how they became the product in front of you. Let all your China friends know and hopefully it will create a chain of they might know someone who knows someone who might know someone who could ultimately bring an end to this.
