I can see your objections but it's idiotic to come with such a pic as if it's a common use this way. 馃憥

I'm not sure I understand your comment.

And you are obviously not planning on explaining it either. It seems like I should be the one using the word "idiotic".

@Originalme: I live already my whole life on the country side, and I know what's going on there, and not everything is perfect but to come with a pic of a lamb what's sevire harmed as an example of what's wrong is just manipulating the truth, it isn't the way things normally happen.

@Originalme: So how many fur farms have you visited in your life?
How many sheep have you shaved in your life?
Have you been once in your life on any farm at all?
This because the people who shout at hardest are the once who hardly know what they are talking about.

@kingkyrie: Why would I try to manipulate people? You see, the problem is that the situation in the real world is not the same as it is on a country side. Factory farming is one thing and how people raise their animals on the country side is another, all that big companies see is profit and "silly things" like basic moral principles and an animal's right to a "decent" life is not a matter that they would bother themselves with. This world isn't rainbows and unicorns and I'm pretty sure that you already know that, as well as that people do all sorts of cruel things. Mass production of these products requres getting the right amount of resources in a small amount of time. It's not about caring about feelings of another sentient beeing. I can send you a bunch of articles written by people who went undercover to expose this industry or you can simply google it yourself.. At least we have information available in a click of a button,at least we can do is educate ourselves.

@Originalme: Believe me, I have seen everything, and indeed, the big companies are the worse, but as long as consumers refuse to pay a few cents more for a kilo good quality meet and still think it's normal to pay almost the same price for an egg as just after WWll nothing will change.
But education and awareness starts with an honest story and not with pointing at a rare extremity, there already enough lies around in the world.

@kingkyrie: I understand your point but the problem is that 90% of animal products come from a factory farmed animals. Most of the people from a country side sell their products to their local customers. The larger the exporter of those products, the higher the chance of cruelty involved in the making of those products is. I used to think that my country was different at first (since it's small and pretty much all the brands on supermarkets' shelfs are made in our country) but in actuality factory farming Is widespread and majority of the products we see are the result of mass production usually by companies who have monopolies.. Do you really think that UGG-a footwear company cares about the process of getting cruelty free wool if their current state of business is doing fine despite the fact that they are committing atrocious acts on every day basis? I don't think so. The heads of multi million dollar companies only care about the money, I'm begging to wonder whether they are even human anymore...

@Originalme: that's why you should fight the SYSTEM and not the farmers 馃憤
