Is There Blood in Your Boots?

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:15 pm | Permalink | Comments (47)

If you're wearing uggs, there is.

Every year, millions of sheep are castrated, have their tails cut off, and have their throats slit—all for the sake of boots.

But that's not all.

The Humane Society International has just released the results of tests on several items—including ugg type boots—showing that the fur labeled as "Australian sheepskin" was actually raccoon dog fur.

Should I remind you what happens to raccoon dogs who are killed for their fur?

How can you stop this? NEVER purchase any product—boots, coats, sweaters, belts, purses … you get it—made out of animal skin. And share this information with your friends!

    This video made me cry. And I'm not usually one to cry over little videos. But I hope you people feel ashamed. From what I've seen, you have no soul.

    I never have and never will buy or wear uggs or any blood on my feet! I find it even more interesting that they were falsely advertising their products as Australian sheep skin.

      It's a wonder how they would have gotten away with this! But so many companies are using false advertisement in hope to get more customers and make money, the greedy bastards.

    i am so sorry that this is happening..these poor animals. we need to make everyone aware so that they can stop buying ugg. it is not worth it. the boots aren't even that cute, in fact they look funny. it's just people get obsessed with the brand. if they only knew the death that was associated with these boots. boycott 'em people!

    Thank God I never put these on.. I couldn't bare the thought of watching the video.. based on the comments, I'd probably be sobbing within the first few seconds. I'll definitely never wear uggs. I never really liked them anyways, and I'll warn other people. Same with those chicken feathers.

    ok, so I know obviously manufacturers of these things lie about materials on their labels, so does that mean they would lie on a label about there being no animal skins or fur used? saying its fake when it isn't?? how do you know for sure on a product? What can you trust? And what are words that we should look for that mean animal skins but we wouldn't recognize it as normal use in our language?

  26. I have watched this video before and it makes my skin crawl. How can a person cause such cruelty on any living being? There is something wrong with people(not humans) if they can perpertrate these types of torturous acts. I do not wear Uggs and I will tell everyone I know NOT to purchase them. PLEASE stop these murderers!!!
    Also I do not call these people humans, since the word "humane" is part of this word. I can't think of these people as humane!

    I try to watch these undercover cruelty videos all the way through when they crop up, disturbing tho they are– its the animal that suffers, the least (very least) we can do is bear witness– but this one I had to turn off. Please tell me there's a big campaign mounting against the companies that buy and sell these boots. It's perfect timing with the holiday season coming up. Ugh my stomach is in knots.

    WTF did I just watch? This is the most horrible thing I've ever watched in my life. Is there any way we can do something to try and put a stop to this? I don't care if these animals are wild or not. They still feel everything horribly done to them. The only reason I can come up with as to why they don't kill them before pulling their skin over their head while they are still freakin' breathing is, they want to see these animals suffer. And then throw them away while they are still alive, skinless? These are not people. I don't know how to classify them, but I don't consider them one of us. I feel barbarians had more consideration than these…things.

  40. Uggs, how long do you really think you can sell your product to us Americans? We do NOT believe in cruelty to animals…..sheering wool, one thing, it grows back but skinning these poor animals, shame on you. From this second forward anytime I see anyone wearing UGG boots I'm going to ,ask them how they like wearing tortured animal skin on their feet. If we have our say we will not only boycot YOU but any company that sells your filthy products. UGG is a really good name for your company. UGG, how stupid do you think we are!
