Fur animals in China suffer one of the most cruel and savage practices ever heard against defenseless beings. The hideous cruelty is hidden from consumers who may not know that each fur article comes with an unimaginable amount of agony. All this in the name of fashion.
The shocking footage from a recent investigation into the Chinese dog and cat fur industry reveals the slaughter of millions of dogs and cats that are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and strangled with wire nooses so that their fur can be turned into trim and trinkets. Their fur is often mislabeled as that of other animals and exported into the United States, the European Union, and other countries, where it may be sold to unsuspecting customers.
It is time to end these practices.
