Was that from a faces of death episode?..i saw that too...i remember lifting the skull off when the girl was wide awake...flipped me out...but not as bad as the faces of death one where they killed that cute furry dog..skinned it alive...then showed the family frying it in a wok and eating it later...one minute the dog is playing with its siblings...next..its skinned and fried...
as for this clip...i'll take your word for it..i have no desire to see it..

Might also be based on My mood, though also: It is on a clip, whereas I have no idea how I would react in person to that, but I would probably be a lot more caring toward it if it was in person. **

Could have been that. I saw it as part of this show about strange things around the world. What you described sounds a lot like what I saw. I remember breaking into a cold sweat and nearly passing out. Dunno why it hit me so hard but damned if it didn't take a long time to purge it from my head...
Re: WARNING:Extreme animal cruelty......furs...
That skull stuff would probably make Me sick, as most surgery does.
For some reason, Slaughter is not as sickening as is Surgery. Probably because Surgery focuses on the gore more than the other does.
( If I mispelled Surgery, its due to reading Ork stuff. :P )**
Re: WARNING:Extreme animal cruelty......furs...
hmm...i found that upsetting and i worked on a farm in eastern europe for a year and helped slaughter and skin my own animals.
i'm not going to go into the politics..all I'll say is that i found that upsetting....

Nice to see you are such an expert on animals and the natural world. New scientific enquiries are coming up with groundbreaking reports that plants do actually have some sensory or psychic experience.
I'm not sure that your bravado attitude is any better than PETAs, in fact, structurally they are remarkably similar.

this is just silly. there are humane ways to prevent animal over population.

we make progress when we choose not to repeat past mistakes. This is called progression, we show our superority when we develop and advance the way we think. Humans should care about the extinction of lesser species however small.
I am an avid meat eater and only wear leather boots, i just found this post a little lame. peace :thumb:
Re: WARNING:Extreme animal cruelty......furs...
Animals totally do have feelings, emotions, etc, just like humans.
What makes you think you know what an animal feels?
Many of them have the same brain structures as humans,
the same nerves, similar social structures, etc.
They get depressed and sad if a family member dies.
They get scared. They feel pain, sadness, etc...
So yes, it is lame, and sad, and fucked up,
when animals are hurt like this.
BUT...
Pain and death is also part of life, and part of nature.
I have seen on Discovery channel, or Animal Planet,
a show where these lions had taken down a big
Water Buffalo. But it was still alive, and it's horns
were dangerous. So rather than biting it's neck,
and mercy-killing it, the lions ate it from the
ass end first. Eating it alive, while it screamed.
Yes, it was in pain, afraid, and suffering.
That is life. That is nature. That is the way things are sometimes.
But hell, no one likes to see something suffer.
So if we have to kill animals for food, or for clothing, etc,
then we should do it humanely and quickly.
When I see cows out in a field, eating grass, having
a good life, I think that is cool. Even if they eventually
kill them. Because the animals do not know any better.
Let them live a happy life, and then kill them.
But I do not like it when I see them kept in dirty
holding wherehouses, with shitty conditions,
and they are miserable. Where they are raised
by machines, only to die. I have no problem with
killing animals. That is the way nature is.
But do it quickly, if you have to do it...
