if this is a video showing snakes being skinned alive (i couldnt watch it for some reason) then it was possibly donr by one of the animal rights groups... who PAY poor people to specificlly make it as CRUEL AS POSSIBLE so that the vids have more impact.
personally, i am not against the use of snakeskin in fashion, if someone wants to set up a farm to breed snakes, and cull them humanley then i dont care what the body is used for. clothing, food, whatever.
