Just in case you wonder how Furbearer-Defenders got the footage:

The trapping footage was donated to Furbearer Defenders by a former trapper,
who was frustrated and upset with the cruelty he witnessed day after day on
the registered traplines. He gave them the footage in the hope that the
public would see the cruel truth behind fur products and realize the
importance of their purchasing decisions.

Animals

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man incivilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge andsees thereby a feather magnified and the whole imagein distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragicfate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, andgreatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world olderand more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted withextensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices weshall never hear. They are not brethren, they arenot underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net oflife and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it" Buddha

"We have the power to build a new consensus, which rejects killing as a method for achieving results. And we can look forward to a time when the wholesale slaughter of animals in shelters is viewed as a cruel aberration of the past. We have a choice. We can fully, completely, and without reservation embrace No Kill as our future. Or we can continue to legitimize the two-pronged strategy of failure: adopt a few and kill the rest. It is a choice which history has thrown upon us. We are the generation that questioned the killing. We are the generation that has discovered how to stop it. Will we be the generation that does?"

In my opinion most people in the world that profess to support the liberation of all animals and the end of the many completely unnecessary government authorized forms of torture and mass murder of precious creatures do not understand that the word liberation means complete freedom from every form of cruelty for all vulnerable animals as well as the assurance of a full and safe life. Those that truly care about animal liberation are not concerned about meaningless recognition, reward, or social prominence. Those who truly care about complete and total animal liberation are certain in their heart and mind that animals like humans were not put on earth to be tortured, murdered, eaten, hunted, or used for experimentation. When enough of the right people truly understand and realize how many catastrophic disasters are directly and indirectly related to animal cruelty then the bold liberation efforts by a few will finally be understood and appreciated by the masses. When this happens factory farms and slaughterhouses will close, which will mark the beginning of the end of all forms of cruelty to all animals. Jason and his staff personify a quality of real wisdom and real empathy that is unstoppable. Those that possess real wisdom and real empathy for all animal life possess everything. Whatever others profess to possess, without real wisdom and real empathy for all animals they have nothing.
