Speechless...

Never bough fur before, and after seeing this, I don't think I'll ever buy.

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.

Well my friend... if you read about it, you'll see that more then half of the fur around the world is produced in china.

Just like a lot of consumer products. Doesn't surprise me.
I don't think all Chinese producers would go to these extremes (Peta tends to show the extremes, as I've observed), but noone would argue that manufactiring ethics is far from being China's strong suit

(although when it comes to manufacturing ethics in China, I think they better stop poisoning their own babies with food chemicals before they get to animal rights issues. China hasn't even gotten the human rights thing straight, so no surprise the animals are further behind still...)

Well, there's no law or regulation in china telling those guys how to skin their animals, so it's not agains the law, IN THE WHOLE CHINA, to skin animals alive. And don't forget that skinning alive makes easier to get the skin intact, clean and healthy.

There's a lot of sick people out there, who might skin alive just for fun.

Bleh, I'm disgusted enough already... I'll read another topic.
