Wow..this is horrible

Yes! That's it. "Your Daddy Kills Animals".Come on, just that title is wrong. It says they also have a "Your Mommy Kills Animals". Wtf.

Its not a racoon, its a racoon dog..idk if theres a difference though..

With things like this, the question is whether the video is typical - whether it reflects normal practices or not. Unfortunately groups with a cause sometimes put that cause above truth or fairness.In the case of slaughtering animals for meat, in the West it is usually done reasonably humanely with a stun gun, though probably not without some distress to the animals. Some other practices, such as Halal slaughtering, are more painful. There are certainly practices on farms that are cruel and should be replaced, such as mulesing and castration without anaesthetic.The fur industry has long had a bad reputation for extreme cruelty, and if it wants to continue it ought to address it.

Well, they're roughly the same thing. A raccoon dog is known as a tanuki in Asia, and are pretty much just large raccoons with dog-like qualities.My point about this being the least of humanity's worries still stands, however cute they are.

I like animals over people. all i want to do right now is move away way away with my dog...... and a horse so i could ge there. where ever the there is...
-
Agreed.

I mean, they are FISH, and although I'm not saying that it's great or anything to brutally kill any animal, I can't say that fish are really that smart, or really feel anything like emotions at all... On the intelligence scale, I'd probably put most of them a little bit above some insects.
-
Exaggerated is right. They have basic instincts and some have very basic problem solving skills. But then again, what doesn't these days? Their being stupid isnt a reason to kill them (edit: their being delicious is, though), but I have a hard time identifying with something like a fish.A fluffy young Golden Retriever, however? I'd die for mine.

I guess if you have a low tolerance for people and are fed up.I would be too. But I don't see animals higher let alone equal to people.
-
I have to say, I agree with CR SOOOO much. I was taught that we were higher than animals, but I was never loved so unconditionally until I had my own dog.
-
well it's kind of hard for any human being or animal to love "unconditionally" don't think that's possible.
-
PETA is nothing but a political entity with it's own agendas which outweigh it's concern for critters.They are just a runt-hair away from the ALF who are complete assholes.Is there cruelty? yesshould you beleive everything or even anything PETA says? nopeunles you're talking about the PETA that I belong too... People for the Eating of Tasty Animals

PETA Bullshit part 1 PETA Bullshit part 2 PETA Bullshit part 3

I dislike PETA. I disagree with the skinning practices as I believe its such a waste of a good edible animal. As for meat slaughtering? Nah.. It really doesn't bother me how they're dealt with. Even the whole boiling chickens alive thing doesn't exactly bother me.The fish thing? Considering I revel in cutting up my still slightly alive but numbed from ice crappie, can't say I feel bad at all about doing it. Quite opposite, the delicious supper he makes makes me quite enjoy the process.

i will never support peta im still agianst fur but i eat meat and stuff and o yeah FUCK YOU PETA AND EVERYBODY WHO IS FOR PETA O YEAH FUCK CHINA

I dont think that, either. I believe my golden loves me unconditionally. I know it when he comes in my room to sleep with me at night and when he gets into my bed to wake me up in the morning. I can see it in his eyes.The love you get from a pet isn't like love from another person. A pet will never make fun of you or belittle you, or make you feel inadequate.
