Friends


Everyone needs a friend. To talk to about anything, share secrets, fears and goals, and stories with. Without friendship many of us would have nothing. Treasure your friends, treat them well. Who knows where you would be without at least one true friend.
Be optimistic, all the people you hate will die eventually :)

Fur Farms

Chinese Fur Farms are so disgusting, I can't believe what these people are doing to these poor defenseless creatures for their fur!! They keep the animals in cramped up little cages with very little food, pretty much just awaiting their death. They take one out, and slam it to the ground repeatedly before hitting it over the head with a wooden club to stun it. They pick it up off the ground and hang it up by its hind legs. They then proceed to skin the creature alive. The animals are often still conscious. They remove the fur and throw the animal into a pile of other carcasses. These animals are usually alive, blinking and in extreme pain for up to 10 minutes after being skinned, until they eventually die. 
Their excuse for doing it this way: It's easier to get the skin off while the animal is alive!!! 
How sick is that??
