"Evil people ground down this dog's teeth!" Nopes. Just a dog with naturally ground down teeth

"Evil people ground down this dog's teeth." Nopes. Some dogs who have untreated fleas, mange or other skin disorders for many years will grind down their own teeth chewing on their skin, fur, fleas. There would be no reason for anyone to grind down a dog's teeth to this level. Even when people have tigers' teeth ground down they only grind down tips of the canines.

We are against grinding down any animals' teeth unless it's medically necessary for the animal.

"roasting cats alive for breakfast." Nopes. Fake news. Man is burning fur off dead cat.

"Stop the people of Vietnam from roasting cats alive for breakfast." This is a dead cat. The man uses the blowtorch to burn off the fur. Then they will sell it or eat it. Stop spreading this fake news. People start this fake news to start a petition so they can snag the email addresses of animal lovers. Sometimes they even ask for donations. Don't fall for it.

That said we're against eating cats or dogs.

"Dog skinned alive and running from butcher." Nopes. It's a farm animal that was killed and skinned while dead.

"Dog skinned alive and running from butcher." Come on! There is a bag over the head. You can clearly see it's a cloven animal. It's not a dog. It's just a garish display at a Chinese outdoor market. It's a younger sheep or lamb that has had it's fur removed. It was not skinned alive. It's almost impossible to skin an animal alive. It's much easier to skin them when they're dead. It would make no sense to skin them alive.

People make up these fake stories so they can make petitions to snag the email address of animal lovers. Sometimes they even ask for donations. It's fake news.

That said we're against eating any animals for food.

Photo of "chinchilla skinned alive." Nopes. It's just a chinchilla missing some fur.

Here is a pic of a live chinchilla missing most of it's fur and JLo wearing a chinchilla cost. This chinchilla was not skinned alive. When they skin an animal to make a fur coat they take off all of the skin including fat, capillaries... The chinchilla above still has its skin. It's almost impossible to skin an animal alive. They would fight like hell. If they were skinned alive, they would die from the stress. They would not survive.

This chinchilla was accidentally poisoned with sodium carbonate in its feed. Here is the article about the poisoning and hair loss. Below is the chinchilla sitting on a desk alive with very little fur.

Here are pics of the bald chinchilla which is clearly very much alive and has its skin.

That said we're against fur coats. No one needs a fur coat today. It's cruel to animals.
