 The UNSOLVED True Crime Case Daily Stories Of This Agricultural Farming Industry in New Zealand and South Korea, I talk about, First-Ever Investigation of Deer Velvet Industry EXPOSES Capitalism Atrocities, Sellers of deer velvet supplements make dubious claims about a variety of purported benefits just like Rhino Horns, Elephant Ivory, Shark Fin Soup, Krill Oil Supplements and much more! While there’s no sound evidence to support their use, there’s irrefutable proof that their production involves extreme problematic actions to these prey animals. In June 2023, PETA investigators visited four farms in South Korea that supply the deer velvet industry and documented abhorrent living conditions for the animals. They found that on velvet farms, deer spend their entire lives confined to small, barren pens. Video footage shows deer pacing repetitively and licking and chewing on the metal bars of their enclosures. A veterinarian stated that this abnormal behavior indicates frustration and psychological distress in a normally far roaming species. Licking and chewing on metal bars can also indicate an underlying mineral and iron deficiency, which is common with chronic internal parasitism and can be life threatening if left untreated, 

Every year, the deer are subjected to a gruesome procedure to remove their antlers. Farmers injected deer in an attempt to sedate them prior to the rudimentary surgery. One deer endured multiple injections over the course of an hour before he was sedated—indicative of a strong stress response in these sensitive animals. Adrenaline surges due to apprehension and stress can override even significant amounts of anesthetics. Even after the animals were injected, investigators documented that deer moved their legs and had more than double their normal resting respiratory rate, which suggests that they were semiconscious and able to feel it while farmers sawed off their antlers. Deer can carry a number of zoonotic diseases that are transmissible to humans, including Q fever, chlamydiosis, leptospirosis, campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis, and giardiasis, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) This fatal prion disease affects deer, elk, and moose. Prions, the infectious agents of CWD, can be shed in bodily fluids, including antler velvet, Velvetting is not done for the animal's benefit but for commercial purposes, making it ethically questionable, ETC!!!
