95%of all the leather and exports from China goes overseas to Europe, the US Russia and Japan that’s the market basically ,and all of it is terrible torture of the animals involved in the farms or in the caged yard farms or the markets and the environmental consequences are so severe and dangerous for the people who live nearby, all the fur and trim causes unbelievable agony to the animals ,all of them die slowly, being tortured and skinned alive there are few exceptions.if you buy any garment shoe whatever with any fur trim you are supporting this vile tradein agony and torture
I cannot start to imagine the cruelty one may see
in China due to the fur trade
but please don’t just believe me
do your own research and you will
cry inside when you
see the graphic films Ive seen
and they are getting much worse too
the suffering of the wild fox
and of raccoon dogs and cats
and of mink
they are going crazy
in tiny cages
and they stink
of piles and piles
of maggotty shit that’s heaped up
close to where
they live in these vile cages
cages of despair
this is hell for certain
for a wild soul
it can’t be
worse not ever
nothing could be worse
take that from me
insanity its commonplace
they are quite out of their mind
going around and around and around
this is what you find
frustration and such boredom
they have nothing to do
the discomfort clearly is immense
enduring it all through
their short lives
so much anguish
so much agony and grief
they are in such purgatory
it just beggars belief
it leaves me so uneasy
I can’t believe that we
are really now that evil
but clearly we now be
party to this slaughter
this dire disagreeable state
it is woeful to imagine
how they meet their fate
when its very cold
thats when the fur is likely to be
thicker they are ripped out of the cages
you can see
they do not spare them any pain
its a grip that makes them cry
and they transfer them
to a tinier cage on a truck
you might ask why
they are going to the marketplace
in a truck and it is far
no food no water, nothing
just the many miles
to scar
for they will just be thrown about
and bruised and broken they
arrive at market to be sold
this is the only way
and in the sun they sit there
hopeful one can see
that someone might give them some water
they are parched, and they just be
frightened full of uncertainty
as to what will happen they
are sold and the buyer gets hold of them
and really makes them pay
he smashes them down on the ground
stunning them by the tail
and smashes them into kingdom come
and of course if that does fail
hits them with a lump of wood
and if they should again come around
hangs them up and skins them
thats what we have found
skinned alive their blinking eyes
their panting mouths their cries
their kicking legs their agony
I have tears now
and they rise
within my head I can’t prevent
having seen it all ,the shame
the writhing and the bleeding
and the stricken where’s the blame?
going to, I wonder
the skinner may be so
whose being paid a pittance
and so he has to show
some profit from his endeavour
and slaughter and skin them fast
as he can ,the blood y massacre
leaves me quite aghast
they are weeping they are tearful
its wretched to observe
they are doomed of course and know it
how man has got the nerve
to subject a living soul to so much agony
and pain
its harrowing just thinking about it
and seeing it again
I say to you who buy fur trim
you are guilty too
you are bloody supporting them
the monsters and they do
do this hour on hour each day
and so many souls do die
and it takes a full 10 minutes sometimes
they look with one big eye
begging us to help them
to put them out of their pain
but we are just observers with our cameras
who gain
footage so that poets and writers
can express
the evil that is fur trim
so don’t imagine less
the environmental squalor
tests the imagination
terribly toxic chemicals
they are never a salvation
they spill into the rivers
where children are at play
its the children that will suffer
the vagaries of the day
you who buy the fur trim
you can look away
but you are just as bad as all the rest
for everyday
you wear this bloody clothing
these boots these cuffs
these shoes
these collars
you are helping them
I know its awful news
but you are handing them a wage
the furriers who make
millions out of agony
they torture and they break
the spirits of so many
varied animals now who
suffer abject torture and of course
its down to you
you have to wake your ideas up
you have to change your tune
the Department stores and the markets stalls
you will see it soon
its everywhere the torture
and the karma its there too
and wearing these vile garments
is very bad for you
for it will not go unnoticed
for the universe does see
it created the sweet animals
and it watched them earnestly
and it saw the vilest murders
and it heard the terror screams
and pay back will come suddenly
and tears will come like streams
this is a very vile trade
the furriers they know
and you are being hoodwinked
as the trade in furs does grow
the torture is immense now
the evil does abound
and your kids might be wearing
something smashed hard on the ground
something that lay snorting
and choking on its own blood
something that was created
but was extinguished in the mud
by a skinners boot that crushed hard down
on a mother fox maybe
whose pain was so egregious
that from its face
I can not be free
I will see its image
in every single thought
I can never put to bed
this was a sweet creation
till they trod hard on her head
she coughed up so much sputum
and looked straight at me and I
really felt remorseful
at the way she had to die
