but what do you think happens to the animals that you get your meat from?

Ever been to a slaughterhouse?
It's unsanitary and brutal.

This negative energy is in all of the food you eat, along with hormones.

The further removed you are from the actual kill, the less you are aware of the unspeakable cruelty that goes into a meat supply.
Meat doesn't come from little packets, it comes from animals that suffer greatly for your meal.

Why would you eat meat at all?

Ummm,no.

A chicken egg is normally unfertilised hence no chicken in there...

what did they teach y'all in school????

yup.

like i said earlier, it's a chicken's period. seriously.

although sometimes eggs from small farms where the roosters and hens hang out are fertilized. in that case it's an involuntary abortion! the horror!

When we had chickens we had both hens and roosters,we ate the eggs,one thing you soon discover about roosters is they quite enjoy....'fertilising the hens'....

Anyway as to the video,I have no need to watch it and as has been already stated it is a consequence of egg production not meat production.

Rooster chicks become meat normally,although we being soft hearted newbies allowed ours to live out their lives.

Oh for christs sake KevK ---- the eggs at the grocery store are not fertilized. A more accurate and disgusting ananlogy would be we are all eating a hens menstrual cycle. A little interspecies 'red wing' action if you will....

You had baby chicks shipped to you in a confined little little box in the back of a HOT truck? How cruel of YOU.

Wait wait, I'm still waiting for an explanation of how the eggs are fertilized AFTER they've been laid, lol.

You can help stop it by supporting Animals Asia or the WSPA and by writing your senators and the Chinese ambassador about this issue.
The video is quite clearly severely edited, apart from the obvious fact that skinning alive a furbearer is dangerous and leads to damaging the fur. Latest Shock Video (http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsF08q.htm - broken link)

I trap wild furbearers. You couldn't pay me to skin an animal alive, for the obvious cruelty reasons, and the fact it's incredibly dangerous and leads to fur damage.

Not the first time this has been falsified. The supposed video of a seal being skinned alive in the 60's as part of the campaign to end marine mammal imports from Canada, was a person paid to torment the animal by an animal rights group: "Snuff" Films (http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsC7.htm - broken link)

"Following a public outcry and investigation, the man in the film, Gus Poirier of Prince Edward Island, signs an affidavit declaring that he was "employed by a group of photographers ... to skin a large seal for the film. I solemnly swear before witnesses that I was asked to torment the said seal and not to use a [club], but just to use a knife to carry out this operation, where in normal practice a [club] is used to first kill the seals before skinning them." A Federal Standing Committee castigated CBC "for not enquiring into its accuracy before screening," but the damage had been done."

And your last statement about sums it up...it's done to milk money out of people shoscked by it.
