Half-naked animal rights activists brand each other with hot irons, and more.

[Quintessence]

I don't do videos, so I went to find a better source for this story. The first article I was able to find out of a more legitimate news agency was this one, the same stunt pulled around three years ago. Nearest I could find about this from a (sort of) legit news source was Daily Mail. If nothing else, this source confirms what I suspected looking at the still in the video (no didn't watch it) - the blood is totally fake.

Pretty damned brilliant. Too bad the point will be lost in the minds of most.

Hello guys.

"Activists at a demonstration in Paris sought to highlight animal abuse by burning themselves with an iron.
Determined animal activists went to extreme lengths by burning themselves with red hot irons in a bid to condemn animal abuse.
Shocking footage shows the half-naked activists in France lining up to be burnt as part of an attempt to condemn animal abuse, RT reports ."

Spoiler: Contains half-naked people and blood, but no private parts are shown.

Do you guys agree with this act to spread awareness?

I personally see and respect the thought behind it, at least.

God made the man and the woman first. What Dorks!

I bet they would be kinder to animals after they come to that conclusion, including themselves first.

When I first saw it I was appalled by the violence and stupidity of it. But it faded quickly as I realized they volunteered, its a one time event and they will be fine as are the animals. I'm just left with the stupidity behind it.

They're pretty tough.

As long as they clean the wounds well, then I say not bad.

As scary as this is for me...I am of the same mind set as Revolitingest on this one

so...if one wants to protest boxing as a brutal sport I am guessing you need to get together with a lot of like minded people and punch each other in the face to make your point.......

Apparently body branding is becoming popular. Was just reading about it.

Body branding has been popular for a long time in the body modification and BDSM subcultures. This isn't anything new. I don't really care what they do.

I had a wonderful pork dish for dinner.
Whadda you think?

But did you BRAND if, or yourself, first?

 

[Revoltingest]

Should "if" have been "it"?

 

[Smart_Guy]

Consent and volunteer-ity (volunteerism?!?) are good, but if that's the only reason it's okay for people to do anything they want to themselves, I'm afraid I can't agree here. I'd never ever approve of committing suicide, for example, even if one volunteers 10 times for it.

Note:
I made a mistake adding "blood" on my own. I didn't get that from the source. Editing time expired.

If your goal is two annoy, you succeeded, therefor I shal mispell everyting intentionally for yous to red

I agree with you actually. But they aren't doing anything that I'd consider wrong. My comment (and it should have specified this at the time) was implying that I don't have a problem with branding if it's voluntary.

I don't suppose Kentucky Freud Seagull or McMad-cow-disease will care.

Qapla!

Qapla!

Well too can play at this gaim

oh, and just so you know, the proper spelling is Qapla'..... You forgot the accent

You're so old school.
That's true for classical Klingon, but modern Klingon has simplified spellings
due to proliferation of texting (97% of which is sexting these days).
