Behind The Scenes Look - Inside The Exotic Skins Trade
WARNING: Please be advised that the information and video provided in this article may offend some people. Well, we would be surprised if it did not offend everyone.
We are once again sorry that we have to bring you this. Our hearts break telling you these stories - we can't believe that in this so called civilised world we Humans still do this.
In the so called 21st Century - we treat other beings; our
beautiful animal friends with such mistreatment. We hope that by bringing you this; your eyes will be opened and you will make a more compassionate choice when you choose what you wear.
In the latest information provided by the wonderful people at PETA,
Joaquin Phoenix reveals the horrors of the Exotic-Skins Trade.
Due to the relaxed laws from most of the countries around the world; our wonderful animal friends are not protected enough. For example, Parrots may have their beaks and feet taped and be stuffed into plastic tubes that can easily be hidden in luggage, and stolen bird and reptile eggs are concealed in special vests so that couriers can bypass X-ray machines at airports.
The mis-treatment of animals for sale is appalling. Though, this is terrifying - there is something a lot more horrifying than the sale of our beautiful animal friends.
Exotic animal that are slaughtered for humans to wear as cloth or bags is shocking.
They are treated worse, if you can say this than our beautiful cows that are butchered in the millions daily for that piece of steak on your plate.
Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before they turned into belts and bags.
Many of these beautiful animals feel pain well after they are tortured; due to their slow metabolism. People who kill, do not even treat our friends with dignity. They will not even kill them when they cut them - they will skin them alive.
Our wonderful animal friends are not much different to us - mothers protect them children, babies will cry and cry for their mothers if they are seperated.
Have you ever heard the cries of a calf at a dairy farm - it will break your heart.
"Did you know that mother snakes keep their eggs warm by wrapping their bodies around them; then shivering to generate heat."
"Alligator mothers protect their eggs and babies up until they are three years old. Alligator siblings stay together between 1 - 3 years." Joaquin Phoenix.
Please stop this - Please be aware of what you are wearing. Stop animal cruelty - Be love and compassionate to our friends. It all starts with your choice.
