Maybe I'm too soft but that video litterally brought me to tears. I'm fairly empathetic to a vast variety of beliefs, careers, preferences and all, but seeing how these 'people' treat those animals completely boggles my cognition. I truly cannot compute how one could treat another living, feeling, growing being with the potentiality to love and develop character with less respect than dirt. It's almost as if they do their best to petrify the animals without getting any benefit from it.
Although I am a member of PETA and have been since I've been earning money with a part-time job at MacDonalds, I still feel like there's so much more that can be done. Sending an email with the link to this clip just isn't enough. What more can one do to stop such horrible, horrible things from happening?
What's wrong with mankind? Why are we the only living beings that can act out of pure cruelty without any personal gain? How come we aren't born with an instinctive respect for all living creatures? Does this mean, that without it, there's no hope for us as a whole? Industrialism scares me; well, the effects of industrialism scare me. The systematic process of doing everything efficiently to lower costs makes sense, but should there not be a limit to what can be done? Does it even matter anymore, or are we too late?
Enough EMO talk, I'm just appalled that such videos can be placed on YouTube and that so very little is done to stop it. I guess it's the disconnection of the processes, no one is really responsible for anything anymore it seems; the workers at the fur farms are doing what they are told, their bosses fill the demands, the Western importers are congratulated for lowering costs. It disgusts me. Which is ironic as I just received my master in business administration.
We'd need to change our genetic code to better prioritize our lives: long term growth is more important than short term gains, and RESPECT goes above everything. It doesn't matter what you do, if you follow those principles, you're a good person. Anyone that doesn't agree with this, scares me.
