Watson's response:
"Well holy shit. The jerk was about to bash in the brains of a baby seal, for Christ's sake, I was not going to stand there and watch it.”

“Fur ranchers choose the cheapest, not the kindest, kill methods, the main concern being the preservation of the whole coat. Many ranchers use anal electrocution, which fries the animal from the inside out, microwave style. At FurIsDead.com there is footage of animals undergoing anal electrocution, including an unsuccessful attempt repeated on the same animal. We also see a farmer who injects insecticide into the chests of minks, who die convulsing in agony over many minutes.”
