I just shoot it and don't clean it up. I have years worth of data germinating on my wallpaper.

the truth about leather, i warn you, its graphic.

It was posted elsewhere on this forum, but since this topic received some traction here, might as well post it again: Earthlings Documentary (free to watch/stream). The clips used in the above ad were taken from this documentary, so it's interesting.

well one thing i wonder is why do they have to treat them like that? you always kill the animal right before u trim it or butcher it. and it is supposed to be a "painless" method like a shot to the head.

i am from texas and some of my family is still involved in working ranches etc and i've seen quite a bit of the reality of ranching and it doesn't take long when u live in that world to lose your sentimentality toward the animals but u never lose respect for them. yes when you shear a sheep sometimes he gets cut but he is never injured. yes we de-horn the cattle and it hurts them and sometimes they bleed but we don't hack it off at the flesh with no regard for the animal. but then yes eventually we sell them for slaughter. so...there's that.

for a moment i thought the chili pepper in the eye thing was crazy and then i remembered its just because those guys maybe can't afford a cattle prod.

^ I would highly recommend that you watch the Earthlings documentary. Ignore all of the emotion-jerking voice overs, but just watch what is literally recorded. I am no vegan, and I love leather as much as the next-guy, but I enjoyed watching that documentary because I felt more conscious of my choices afterwards. The parts I bolded in your post are discussed in the documentary.

i am interested so i will watch kuugaia. and i guess for full disclosure, in a situation where an animal is to be drained of blood (exsanguinated) u use a stunner that causes basically brain death but keeps them alive so that the heart continues pumping the blood. so, in that sense they are alive. this is not a regular activity on a ranch that raises cattle for sale at auction, etc.

another type of stunner actually kills them. like the weapon of choice for that wack job in no country for old men



most real country vets just use a firearm.

and honestly there is respect for the animals. at least in this corner. otherwise we wouldn't spend a fortune on food, land, medicine, shelter, veterinary care, etc...

Special effects are really pretty ! Watched it some months ago, I have not been disappointed.

I have yet to see that movie but if you are into trolls, you can't avoid this amazing movie and its prequel "Troll".





I love how the trailers pretty much sum up the whole movie... but they are still worth watching!

My city is burning again.

There were rumors that the National Library was also burnt, but fortunately they were disproved.

I'm still fucking angry though.

Flying with more clothes than I can take in a carry on bag makes me nervous.... good thing 99% of airport workers won't recognize the value of mostly black, distressed clothes.
