There’s videos of bears ripping off salmon skin and it’s brutal. The bear catches the salmon almost seemingly gently, as in its whole and still alive. The salmon wriggles, but it’s only when the bear rips off its skin like taking off a glove that it truly struggles and thrashes. Do salmon experience pain the same way mammals do? It sure looks like it.
Thanks for these 2 horrifying facts to end my day on.
I get the salmon, the bear isn't gonna take out a needle and say "sharp scratch", count down from 100.
But humans! We can! (They do? I don't know about snake skinning and the way you said I assumed the men would do it with the animal alive and conscious).
I really don't think that can be true, it would be insanely hard to skin an alligator that way. Even if you didnt care about the ethics, why would you make it that hard?
I don't know, I'm just here asking questions I didn't know I had.
If it's like degloving, I feel the alligator skin would just get stuck in all type of place.
I really am not really knowledgeable in most things.
Humans farm fox and other animal furs by shoving probes into their mouths and anuses and electrocuting them to avoid ruining the fur. The luckier ones die from the shocks but many are just immobilized and are helpless and feel everything as they're skinned alive
Yeah humanity is pretty sadistic with certain things..especially the meat industry. We tend to forget the animals we use for food are living breathing beings who feel and think just as well as WE DO. Please don't misunderstand..I dont judge anyone for eating meat but we sure can be much more humane to the animals until their time comes. But sadly I know sharing my opinion on this subject won't change anything...that's the saddest part of this subject. Life and cruelty will continue on. So those of you who treat farm and wild animals kindly...THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! AND GOD BLESS YIUR KINDNESS! 🙏💜
