Argentina Lambs Skinned Alive, Throats Slit (VIDEO)

In Argentina, lambs are being skinned alive for their wool; and PETA is the only animal rights group that is doing anything about it.
This is an OP about horrific cruelty to animals, and NOT about PETA.
Anyone who tries to make it so will be permanently blocked.
(I'm not even a member of PETA)
EYEWITNESS VIDEO SHOWS WORKERS PLUNGING KNIVES INTO THE THROATS OF CONSCIOUS LAMBS AND STARTING TO SKIN THEM WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE AND MOVING
A gut-churning PETA video expose' reveals what life is like for lambs and other sheep exploited for so-called "responsibly sourced" wool on so-called "sustainable farms".
A witness found workers in Argentina hacking into fully conscious lambs, starting to skin some of them while they were still alive and kicking, and otherwise mutilating, abusing and neglecting lambs and sheep on farms in the Ovis 21 Network -- Patagonia's wool supplier.
Workers picked up gentle lambs and -- while they were fully conscious -- tied their legs together, plunged knives into their throats, and sawed through their necks.
Blood spouted from the wounds as they kicked with their only free leg,
Workers then snapped their heads backwards, apparently trying to break their necks.
Even after all that, some lambs still managed to cry out and gasped.
Minutes later, some lambs were still alive and kicking when a worker drove a knife into their legs to start skinning them.
Eventually, they were hacked apart...Their organs were carved out of their bodies and their severed heads dumped into a bloody tub.
All this happened in full view of other lambs...They were just feet away, and cried out in what must have been terror and severe distress.

My favorite Gandhi quote is:
"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way it's animals are treated."
