TEARS OF BLOOD: Explosive new campaign reveals mass crocodile cruelty in Australia’s factory farm
Shocking footage reveals thousands upon thousands of crocodiles living in tiny wire cages and barren concrete pens, before being electrocuted and a screwdriver forced into their heads to scramble their brains.
KINDNESS PROJECT: Iconic, native saltwater crocodiles are living miserably and being brutally slaughtered in Australian factory farms set up by luxury fashion house Hermès, in order to provide themselves with a continuous supply of their skin for handbags and accessories. These bags sell for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars – in other words, the will of a small, wealthy minority is dictating the abhorrent treatment of native Australian wildlife.
Shocking new footage reveals thousands upon thousands of crocodiles living in tiny wire cages and barren concrete pens, before being electrocuted and then shot with a bolt gun, their spinal cords severed, and a screwdriver forced into their heads to scramble their brains. Some crocodiles were seen to be breathing rapidly and even trying to stand after this excruciating ordeal.
The campaign by new animal protection organisation Kindness Project comes as Hermès gears up to begin construction on a new crocodile farm in the Northern Territory, set to exploit 50,000 saltwater crocodiles once completed… Kindness Project are calling on Hermès to end this deplorable treatment of native wildlife and drop the use of crocodile skins from their collections in favour of sustainable, animal-free alternatives…
Kindness Project Campaign Director Alix Livingstone said:
“A common misconception within the public is that the industry is acting to cull crocodiles and keep population numbers down. This however is untrue”…
“We cannot stand by and allow luxury fashion houses to use and abuse our precious native wildlife to appease the fashion appetite of the world’s elite. These iconic animals must be protected from commodification and violence”.
“In a time where we have access to innovative, sustainable and animal-friendly materials, it is unacceptable for luxury fashion houses to be subjecting animals to a life of misery and a brutal death to make accessories”…
The Kindness Project is an animal rights organisation that has been born out of the belief that in order to dismantle the animal industrial complex (AIC) it is imperative that our advocacy is inclusive of all those who are harmed by it. SOURCE…
