PURE EVIL The Alligator / Crocodile Farming Files (DEEP-DIVE) Capitalism, Fashion, Pollution, True Crime, ETC... Today I talk to you about, The UNSOLVED True Crime Case Daily Stories Of This very Industry, I talk about, The factory farming of the world’s largest reptiles the Alligators & Crocodiles for luxury designer fashion such as $50,000 dollar handbags and suitcases is a devastating wildlife protection crisis, Crocodiles have been on earth for over a 100 million years They play an important role in their ecosystem maintaining the biodiversity and productivity of wetlands, Today, these ancient reptiles are being factory farmed and slaughtered to satisfy the desires of a lucrative rich leather trade by million dollar fashion companies around the world, While the crocodile skin industry claims to exist for the sake of wildlife conservation this is little more than a capitalism greenwashing tactic just plain old green capitalism Tragically, there are now more crocodiles living in confinement and misery on Australian farms than in their native habitat – this is not wildlife conservation, Farming methods aside, this industry can never be an ethical one, because it requires animals to be UNALIVED needlessly for capitalist pig's fashion accessories, In the 1950s and 1960s UNALIVING crocodiles for their skins or trophy hunting overall became so intensified that the saltwater crocodile species in Australia was driven to near extinction, Australia accounts for 60% in the global trade of crocodile skins, Some farms are known to be owned and controlled by luxury million-dollar fashion house Hermès, and several others by Louis Vuitton, Despite industry and government insistence of high animal welfare the commercial crocodile farming industry is rooted in exploitation, deprivation, confinement, and cruelty, The reality is, crocodiles are living miserably in tiny barren pens

The reptiles live in dirty pools of water without sunlight or emergency veterinary healthcare, With crocodile farming a huge demand for water and land, management of water waste, pollution from tanning, and the risk of disease that comes from keeping these animals in intensive captivity as well, As with any other skins transformed into materials for use in fashion, crocodile skins must be tanned. Without tanning, all animal skins would rot; the process exists to make something organic (skin) inorganic (leather), so that products last a long time. However, this process can render skins non-biodegradable, even when vegetable-tanned, Crocodile skins are tougher than other animals commonly used for leather, and as a result, a United Nations FAO states that vegetable tanning is generally not possible, with chromium being used instead. The vast majority of all leather is tanned with chromium, which is carcinogenic and dangerous when polluting natural environments The tanning process is also water intensive and wasteful, Crocodile SkinCare Oil, New Study Finds Alligator Wrestling Tourism Attractions Offer No Wildlife Conservation Benefit, High levels of ‘forever chemicals’ likely making alligators sick, The pansteatitis pollution that turned Nile crocodiles to rubber In May 2008 rangers at South Africa’s Kruger National Park, ETC!!!
