Geez, why don't they just kill the things
Quite disgusting, but I would hope not all fur is obtained in this way. I'm glad I don't own any Chinese fur, that's for sure...
I'm not against fur. But it's better if it comes from dead animals. In principle there's nothing wrong-er about fur than any other dead animal product (meat, leather and what have you), and I wouldn't trade my old Russian fur hat for anything in the (Canadian) winter - no synthetic stuff comes even close. It's a practical, healthy and sensible material... again, as long as what it comes from is already dead by the time they get the fur.
