There are thousands of seals raised in farms, like this, in Arkangelsk Oblast, in the Northwest territory of Russia. Perhaps we should not call them "farms", but concentration camps.

I wasn't aware that there were Seal Farms. This is solely for the purpose of fur and the Seals are killed much like the hunters in the wilds.

TY, Cristina.

Does it ever end - just when you think you have covered it all and wept for it all along comes another atrocity and all in the name of greed.

Again the purchasers of fur are the ones to take true responsibility - no demand - no death

We have the power to change this "materialistic" greed for profits that rape the life cruelly from the beloved animal kingdom. We keep moving forward with positive energy. Farms of white seals is very sad news to read.., noted and thank you.

Have you all been living on the moon or something? With all the AR activists looking everywhere for abuse, you had never heard of this before?
Hard to belief. Lets do something about it. Anyone have any good ideas? I doubt if Russia would give a fig about any petitions - so we must find another way. Lets brainstorm!!

Those who wear fur, just want to say: Hey, I am wearing fur! Look how immoral, ignorant, primitive and monster I am! I am promoting animal suffering, torturing, blood and so on! - Russia is another animals abuser country! Everyday, thousands of animals are killed in Russia, for fun, for their fur and meat in a very inhumane way. And they even make films and put them on Internet.

I had no idea these farms existed - this is so horrific. There needs to be more awareness about this issue - why have the media never covered it??

People who have created such a torturous inventness need to wake up and learn compassion for other lving creatures. Ho would they like to live an existance in such conditions? How would they like not even being a real living creature, but just created to be slaughtered for human selfishness and greed? The human species gets worse everyday. How sick and twisted can you get?
 

PEACE BE TO YOU (143)

I did not know. Europe will soon stop buying seal products.

The US?

Everyone gives thanks and whines. Wars are not won by complancancy. It is absoultely abhorrent that the people in those areas condone the beating, bleeting murders of seals. It is disgusting that they don't stop it.

I'll just shut up there.
