~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exposing these atrocities is not enough.

The world and animal rights activists already know.

What's URGENTLY needed now

is mass protest action in the West.

Those companies and countries involved in trade with China and other S.E. Asia nations must be persuaded to take notice and pressure those countries - now LEGALLY engaged in torturing cats, dogs and other animals - to enact and enforce appropriate animal rights legislation, with severe penalties for those who violate it.

But since laws are only partially enforced in that part of the world, there must be a zero tolerance for Western purchase of Asian fur.

Activists need to focus on Western companies still selling fur (regardless of its provenance), and then also on major Western companies trading with China and other SE nations that so blatantly torture animals for profit.

All of them must be made aware that it's not enough to improve conditions for workers making products for the West, but that it is imperative to demand humane treatment for animals too.

There are lots of sites with petitions, but they are of limited value without political action to stop the importation of furs obtained through torture. There needs to be a greater effort by activists at organizing and taking united action.

Animal rights activists infiltrated two farms and market near Beijing

Each had more than 300 'raccoon dogs', related to domestic dogs

They secretly filmed after pretending to be potential buyers from Europe

Video shows grinning worker ripping fur up around live animal's head

The caged animals show evident signs of mental illness.

They experience and witness horrors day after day.

A U.S. report in 2010 said 30 million mink, 25 million foxes and 15 million raccoon dogs were set to be slaughtered for fashion in China that year - up 15 million on the year before.

Video footage exposes the Chinese fur farms where 'racoon' dogs are skinned alive en-masse and turned into luxury coats sold in the West.

Animal rights activists smuggled secret cameras into farms and markets near Beijing, where they spent three weeks pretending to be potential business partners from Europe.

There they filmed the industrial scale of fur farming, a practice banned in Britain 14 years ago but largely unrestricted in many other countries including China.

A grinning worker then demonstrated how to skin the animal to a watching crowd, ripping off its pelt around its head with half a dozen forceful tugs while its legs remained hooked to the back of a truck.

The two activists behind the footage were part of the campaign group Animal Equality based in Los Angeles, California.

The animals endure short lives of incredible suffering

at the hands of Chinese fur farmers.

Founder Jose Valle, one of the two undercover activists who infiltrated the farms, told MailOnline the consequences could have been dire if he was caught.Describing the farm, he said: 'There was a stench coming from the cages. The animals had no access to water and when they were skinned, the corpses were left lying in the open air.

'Several of them showed clear signs of psychological stress and suffered stereotypical behaviour such as pacing, biting bars and self-mutilation.

'Most of the animals were killed at the farm and skinned. Many times the bodies were then fed to other animals.

'The majority are killed when they are a few months old but others are kept for breeding. Some of these animals spend four or five years in a tiny cage going round in circles going crazy.'

Mr Valle said seeing an animal skinned alive at a market was the most harrowing moment - and the most nerve-wracking for him personally.

'He brought us into this small circle where we were the only western people, so immediately they were suspicious,' he said. 'But because we were with a very well-known fur trader they allowed us to be there. What they didn't know was that we had a hidden camera.

'He told us he was selling all over the world, including Europe, and he has several customers in Europe and the U.S.' Mr Valle added: 'They know there's a growing outrage against the cruelty of the fur trade, so as westerners it's difficult for us to access these places. They know animal activists are interested so they're reluctant to say much to outsiders.

'They showed us everything because we appealed to them as business people and they thought we were going to do business. On a couple of occasions in the market it felt dangerous. When we were coming back in the car with the fur farmer he asked us if we were journalists.

'One activist ended up in a car chase when he tried to film a fur market. He was taken to the police station and they confiscated the tapes of what he filmed there.'

The organisation is calling for more countries to ban or impose stricter welfare laws on fur farming, which has boomed in China amid the rise of the newly-rich.

China is now the world's biggest importer of fur despite already producing a quarter of the world's pelts, according to the International Fur Trade Federation.

A U.S. report in 2010 said 30 million mink, 25 million foxes and 15 million raccoon dogs were set to be slaughtered for fashion in China that year - up 15 million on the year before.

It added most of the country's fur farms - most of which have been built since 1995 - were small family firms, making it harder to carry out checks on the number of animals or their welfare.

Europe remains by far the biggest fur farming region, producing 60 per cent of the world's supply. But activists have shone a spotlight on China because of its rapid expansion and lack of welfare laws.

'I think it can be as bad as in other countries, but in China there are no particular laws,' Mr Valle said. 'So even if you film cruelty there's nothing you can do about it.  'I've also been in fur farms in Norway, Finland and Spain and found animals that are mutilated and cannibalising each other.'

Fur farming was banned in Britain in 2000 amid a public outcry, and the country's last remaining mink farmers were paid compensation by the government.  A year later Britain banned imports of dog and cat fur, in response to a two-year RSPCA campaign which tugged public heartstrings with images from the film 101 Dalmatians.

Raccoon dogs do not come under the legislation because the animals are distantly related to domestic pets.

Many U.S. websites list coats and collars made from Chinese 'Asiatic raccoon', and the use of the name means buyers do not always realise they are buying the fur of canines.   Mr Valle's colleague Sharon Nunez said: 'These furs are shipped to countries across the globe. They line coats at stores throughout the US.'

Horror: The most chilling scene shot by the activists was

the live skinning of a raccoon dog at a fur market

THE WORKERS ENJOY IT

Torn limb from limb:

A grinning worker stunned the animal

with the current from the truck's battery.

They connected to the mouth and the anus to immobilize him,

but keeping him fully conscious.

Forceful: Demonstrating how to skin the animal,

the worker ripped its fur up around its head in firm tugs

Skinned dogs left to agonize in excruciating pain.

Breeding animals driven insane by human cruelty mutilate themselves.

The farm also had foxes, bred for their fur, crammed many to a cage.

DO PLANTS HAVE INTELLIGENCE? Latest research indicates they do

Plants have between 15 and 20 senses, some of them analogous to our five senses. ~~~ Plants are able to sense and respond to light, water, gravity, temperature, soil structure, nutrients, toxins, microbes, herbivores, and chemical signals from other plants. This could not be done without an informational processing system. ~~~ They can form alliances with insects to use them as bodyguards, and when threatened by predators, they can summon them by using chemical signals. ~~~ They can get useful insects hooked on the drugs they make. ~~~ They use chemical warfare to fight enemies. ~~~ READ MORE fascinating facts about plant intelligence by clicking on these flowers..

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND ISLAM - What science says about it

The sciences of GENETICS and EPIGENTICS demonstrate that human EVOLUTION is still ongoing. ~~~ Changes in the human genome occur as a result of many factors in the physical and cultural environment. ~~~ Studies demonstrate that GENETIC CHANGES occur even during the lifetime of a person, and they can be inherited by their children. ~~~ In the case of ISLAM we have to consider 14 centuries of harsh indoctrination and cultural violence, repressed normal sexuality, and a lifestyle rooted in 7th century Arabia, in sharp conflict with 21st century science and culture. ~~~ MUSLIM UPBRINGING includes mental and physical abuse, and often sexual abuse of boys and girls as well. - The INBREEDING factor is also significant. Marriages to first cousins are very common, resulting too often in children with physical and mental disabilities. ~~~ The incidence of MENTAL ILLNESS and mental disability among Muslims has been all but ignored by countries that are importing millions of Muslim migrants. - This genetic factor may explain why second and third generation of Western Muslims have difficulty controliing emotions, and sometimes engage in actions of extreme violence.

SKINNING AND OFTEN COOKING DOGS AND CATS ALIVE IN CHINA AND OTHER S.E. ASIAN COUNTRIES

It is disturbing that countries with thousands of years of civilization allow the torture of dogs and cats to be used for FOOD and the FUR INDUSTRY. - This is LEGAL in China and acceptable practice in Vietnam, Cambodia, and other S.E. Asian countries. - We have trade, diplomatic, and educational links with those nations, and in this way we are also indirectly COMPLICIT with this horror. - Hundreds of thousands of DOGS and CATS are tortured this way each year. - This PHOTO shows a puppy at a dog market in China (probably a stolen pet), lovingly pleading for attention. Later he was skinned alive. - CLICK on image to read more about this inhumane tradition, and to see related images, including those of dogs being boiled alive.

PRIONS FROM SICK DEER CAN PASS FROM DEER TO GRASS TO COW TO HUMAN - PRIONS CAUSE BRAIN DISEASES

PRIONS (tiny disease-causing agents) from SICK DEER's urine and feces can bind to PLANT roots and then travel to stem and leaves. - PRIONS are then consumed by grazing COWS, who can pass the prion infection on to HUMANS. - WHAT IS AMAZING about this is how cows can contract a serious animal disease by way of a plant. - Prions are responsible for several serious BRAIN DISEASES in animals and humans.

EARTH GRAVITY WAVES RIPPLING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE

The upper atmosphere is not only disturbed by SOLAR storms but by EARTH gravity waves as well - Gravity waves are born when air masses are pushed up or down by a thunderstorm, perhaps, or when wind is forced up and over a mountain range. When they reach the upper atmosphere these waves have built in amplitude and extent. They can dominate atmospheric processes sometimes threatening the reliability of Earth-based communication systems. - CLICK on image to read more and watch video of computer-generated model of gravity waves.

Also, whether as a result of a mega-earthquake, large tsunami, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event (from a giant solar flare or from a terror attack that would fry the power grid), NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE VERY VULNERABLE TO MELTDOWN ~~~ A sustained electric power failure lasting several days would leave nuclear power plants unable to operate, unleashing a full meltdown.~~~~~ We already saw how a well-prepared country like JAPAN has been unable to bring its FUKUSHIMA nuclear power plant under control after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, leading to a meltdown. JAPAN will continue to dump millions of gallons of extremely radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean for at least the rest of this century. ~~~ READ ABOUT PREPAREDNESS for you and your PETS.~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read more

WHY DO MUSLIMS HATE YOU?

A good Muslim follows the Koran and Hadith to the letter. Read how those Muslim scriptures order Muslims to DESPISE AND KILL THE INFIDEL. ~~~ Muslims regard western values as repugnant, and many see jihad as justified. ~~~ Islam is not compatible with western culture. There can be no assimilation. ~~~ Abandoning Islam, or APOSTASY, is punishable by death. ~~~ Muslims have been waging war against other people since the 7th century. ~~~ It was always CONVERT OR DIE. Countless indigenous cultures and religions across Asia and Africa have been obliterated, forced to submit to Islam. ~~~ According to conservative estimates, Islam has killed 270 MILLION non-Muslims during 14 centuries of conquest and tyranny. That makes it the biggest GENOCIDE in history. ~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read why Islam hates you, in their own words, and learn more about the Muslim genocide

BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in Israel

FOR SEVEN YEARS ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE DONE NOTHING to stop the EU building of illegal Arab settlements on Jewish land ~~~~~ While Israel has frozen construction across the Green Line, and razes the tiniest house addition or Jewish unauthorized outposts on the hills, Arabs keep building ILLEGAL SETLEMENTS with impunity, and with the funding and assistance of the European Union. Those settlements are in internationally-recognized Israeli land (Area C), thus the EU is not only violating Israeli sovereignty, but its own diplomatic rules of operation in foreign countries. - These illegal Arab settlements are meant to be FACTS ON THE GROUND for the eventual Muslim takeover of Jewish land - EUROPEANS DID NOT WANT JEWS IN EUROPE and murdered MILLIONS of them. Now they don't want Jews in their ancient homeland of ISRAEL either, call them "occupiers," and demand that the land be given to descendants of Muslims who invaded Israel in the 7th century. - The EU (inspired by the Nazi boycotts against Jews) already labels and boycotts products from the Jewish heartland - THE EU WAR AGAINST THE JEWS persists as they contract out the Arabs to continue Hitler's mission of killing Jews. Europe and the United States are the main funders of the Palestinian Authority, contributing to salaries paid to terrorists who murder innocent Israelis..CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

ISIS PLAN FOR INFILTRATING EUROPE AS REFUGEES

Along with Muslim refugees pouring into Europe there is a significant percentage of terrorists from ISIS and other Muslim factions. About 75% of those migrants are young men of military age. - This invasion follows ISIS threat earlier this year to flood Europe with HALF A MILLION MIGRANTS to unleash chaos. - The sudden spike in migration to Europe has been well orchestrated behind the scenes with the willing cooperation of Europeans. ~~~~~~~ Here we have a PERFECT STORM. (1) European leftist political elites need to expand their voting base with benefits-dependent migrants. (2) Business looks forward to cheap labor. (3) Leftists and media blatantly manipulate European shame for the Holocaust. Anyone opposed to this invasion is branded a RACIST.. - Basic math predicts an eventual demographic takeover of Europe by Islam. - The cartoon here has a an immigration officer asking jihadists "Anything to declare?" while they invade Europe - CLICK on image to read more

SATIRE - WHAT THE U.S. AND EU REALLY MEAN BY LAND FOR PEACE

Europe and the US commiserate for the loss of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. - But they obsessively demand that Israel be partitioned along borders only 9 miles wide at their narrowest point. - These borders and the creation of ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE under ISIS or Iran's influence will certainly lead to a Holocaust of 6 million Israeli Jews. - On this SATIRE White House aides promise that if the Arabs massacre the Jews in a shrunk Israel, Israelis should take comfort in the fact that the world will have an annual commemoration of their sacrifice for peace. - Image from Israel Matzav blog - CLICK on picture to read article.

IF JESUS LIVED IN JUDEA TODAY

Jesus would be called a "SETTLER" and Arabs would deny him access to Temple Mount (where Muslim conquerors erected a mosque), and to much of Judea and Samaria (West Bank), today under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) where no Jews are allowed. ~~~ Jews who have ventured into the PA have been LYNCHED. ~~~ Jesus would not be safe anywhere in Israel. He would be pelted with ROCKS or STABBED for being a "settler". Or he would be DECAPITATED, as Arabs did to four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in 2014. ~~~ If Jesus were a child he would be BURNED BY FIREBOMBS (as Arabs did to a child in December 2014), or have his THROAT SLASHED in his own home, as Arabs did to the Fogel children. ~~~ CLICK on image to read more about the Muslim war against Jews and Christians in today's Judea and Samaria.
