Most Dangerous animal on Earth

Recently i went to the Georgia Aquarium on a short trip. It was very impressive with a vast array of exquisite marine creatures, not the usual ones. Best of all, I could touch the sharks and rays that were on display. It was quite exciting to be able to touch a live shark. There was another exhibition on display called planet shark. It shows how sharks are now the hunted and not the hunters and some statistics about the same. Towards the end of the shark exhibits, there is a label which says the most dangerous animal on earth, some statistics and a mirror. Well, must be true because we hunt almost every other living being on this earth and are at the top of the food chain. But I guess it is not always for food that we hunt, it is for luxuries and everything else that we hunt these poor creatures, who are lesser animals than us, but who still have the same right to live.
I am not a member of PETA or SPCA or anything, but i still believe it is a sin to torture any living being, be it man or animal. I actually believe that if you can put somebody out of its misery and torture by putting an end to its life, you would still be doing a good deed. Which is why I am in favour of euthanisia though it is illegal in India.  Of course everybody is entitled to their own opinions and this is mine.
How many times have seen a cute looking dog/cat/rabbit/animal and exclaimed "How cute!" or touched it and said "How soft!" or have you said "It's so soft I want to wear it "?
How would you feel if someone else looked at you and remarked, "You are so fair,beautiful and soft that I want to wear you."
I watched a video on youtube on chinese fur farms and how animals are skinned alive for their fur. I dont use fur nor do I personally know anyone who uses them. I've seen it only in the movies and in some upscale shops. Most of the fur coats I've seen are faux fur and not the real ones. Believe me, your conscience as a human being will take a severe beating if you understand how the fur makes it way to the shops. In the animal kingdom it is a sin to be pretty and soft and that goes for all those dogs, cats, raccoons, foxes,rabbits out there. In the video that I saw, the most horrific part was that they skinned these creatures ALIVE. Could they have not shown the minimum decency to kill it before it is skinned? Man through centuries have evolved so much that now we fight for our rights and voice our opinions. All those animals who do not have a voice of their own, are hunted down by a more sadistic predator,US. The animals are as expected transported in crammed cages, not knowing that there is a greater calamity awaiting them. When they are still alive and kicking, they are hung on a hook by their tail. If at all they struggle, which they will, they are beaten up with a metal rod, till their bones break. This bludgeoning happens until it gives up, but poor thing doesn't die. Cuts are made on all for legs with a knife. Just like I peel the skin off fish, before cooking it, these people peel the skin off the animal, when it is still ALIVE. No sound escapes the animal while this is being done. Does it make a difference if it told you that it was in pain? WE just choose not to hear them. After all, what can a helpless raccoon do against a man? Ever had your hand burnt and the skin peeled off? Remember the stinging pain? Imagine this happening to yourself and you'd be thankful to die.  Now comes the saddest part, after the skin is off, the animal is still alive and is just tossed to a side, like a useless thing, made to await its death. Those battering eyelashes with the last light of life will forever haunt me. The only wrong it did was that it was born soft/cute/beautiful AND an animal. Anyways we aren't giving much of a life for a lot of voiceless souls out in the wild. We might as well give them a painless death. The bastards who do this must be skinned alive like they do to the animals, so should the people who think wearing fur is fashionable. That fur clothing you wear to keep yourself warm/fashionable has cost several harmless animals their lives. You look uglier than ever with that fur coat on. Death is too little a punishment for them. I hope people who engage in such activity rot in hell and their souls never attain salvation. For those of you who would still want to see the video, you can watch it below. This is not for kids, pregnant ladies and the faint hearted and unless you have a rock instead of a heart, I would advise you against watching it.

These days I've been seeing a lot of movies concentrating on the apocalypse. May be people believe that we have become such a burden on the Earth that some higher power is going to intervene soon. Well, after seeing this, I think serves us right. As you sow, so shall you reap. No God in any religion will forgive you for wearing a soul on your sleeve. Hell awaits.....
