An act of Tibetan patriotism against the foreign invaders!

There was a report that the communist party made the news media reporters who report on TV to wear fur as well…

What is it with the communists infatuation with killing precious animals?  I don’t get it…many of them don’t even bother to put them to “sleep” before removing the fur off their backs, it’s very disturbing… “A Shocking Look inside China’s Fur Farms” See that video here!  People don’t wear fur!  If you want fur take some pills and grow hair on your own backs!

It was also discovered that they are taking endangered tigers and raising them for their fur! “From Human Organs to Tiger Farming”

New images of burning of wild animal pelts in dramatic act of dissent

New images of burning of wild animal pelts in dramatic act of dissent

New images received from Tibet depict thousands of dollars worth of wild animal pelts being burned in the Tibetan area of Amdo, eastern Tibet, in a dramatic assertion of Tibetan identity at the height of the current crackdown on dissent. The photographs were taken in February 2009, during Tibetan New Year, at a time when Tibetans sought to mark the festival by mourning those killed in the protests. This was in defiance of the Chinese authorities’ attempts to enforce celebration of the New Year.

The Tibetan source who provided the images said: “The purpose of the action is to show that Tibetans will give up wearing animal skins completely and that they did not want to celebrate the New Year in 2009, because everyone thought it was a very black year for all Tibetan people in and outside of Tibet. Also by organizing this action, they would like to show their solidarity for the people who have sacrificed their precious lives for the freedom of Tibet after the violent crackdown in Lhasa last year and across Tibetan areas inside Tibet by the Chinese military forces.” (Photo: ICT)

The burning of the wild animal furs as an expression of Tibetan loyalties was originally inspired by a statement made by the Dalai Lama during a major religious festival in 2006 in which he said he felt “ashamed” when he saw Tibetans wearing the pelts of endangered animals such as tigers or leopards.

Immediately after he made the comments, Tibetans all over Tibet began to burn animal skins – in monetary value the equivalent of burning family cars or houses. Their actions were expressions of loyalty both to the Dalai Lama and to the Tibetan Buddhist culture, which advocates compassion for all sentient beings. This is the first known instance of wild animal pelt burning linked to the protests that broke out across Tibet in March, 2008.[Read More]
