Oh my god.

Those men deserve to be tortured and skinned alive for such inhuman, barbaric cruelty. To inflcit such pain and horror on a helpless animal only to profit yourself is the most base and evil thing I can think of. Even the serial killers of the world don't murder for self-profit from their victims' flesh. Unspeakably disgusting.

I've actually skinned an ant alive to.

Or exoskeletoned it.

Or whatever

those are too small to count....

It's very unlikely that insects 'feel' pain in any sort of way that we do. Mammals, on the other hand, all have a similar pain response to ours, and in many cases probably a limited sense of awareness too. Just because they don't build cities and don't talk doesn't mean the pain is any less tangible than ours.

Yeah, but they're so soft.

The argument is really identical to one you could make against skinning newborn babies alive.

Exactly.

Both are small, defenseless, and not mentally developed enough to avoid getting themselves into the situation in the first place.

For some reason, I am less sensative to human suffering, unless I witness it first hand. I can watch (On TV/internet) someone starving, or someone dying, and I'll be fine, maybe a little disturbed.

But when I see an animal being treated horribly like in that video, I just can't take it. It's cruel, and I get so full of emotion.
