Skinned Alive - A Shocking Look Inside Chinese Fur Farms - Is This a Good Reason To Boycott China? (death, states)

[freefall]

China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States.

Even if a fur garment's label says it was made in a European country, the animals were likely raised and slaughtered elsewhere—possibly on an unregulated Chinese fur farm.

"Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.:

I see. No outcry about all the multitude of human rights violations but when it comes to an animal, associating with China is finally dispicable.

I cannot imagine why we have ever had anything to do with China to begin with.

The filthy rich get off from the stuff, eating exotic animals and the like (i'm not kidding) just look up the whaling problem in asia as well.
Otherwise the democrats have been fighting to stop and regulate business from going over to communist china, but the republicans have filibustered everything. It's down right disgusting they will make people live and work in such horrible conditions, just so the corporate fat cats can line their pockets.
Live american, buy american.

That is the crux of the problem - if no one bought fur, there would be no Chinese fur farms.

This has been going on a long time. You can't trust any of those "fake fur" tags the Far East puts on their coats trimmed in fur as U.S. Human Society testing has proven over and over. I have been boycotting all coats trimmed in fur---labeled fake or not---for at least 10 years.

Oh, for crying out loud. People are capable of caring about more than one thing at a time. Caring about animal cruelty doesn't doesn't cancel out a person's ability to care about human rights violations as well.

People can more or less put up a fight about how they are treated. Animals can't. But then there are some people that think that other people are animals.

Talk to my wife. She loves her Astrakhan jacket from Max Mara.

Good point.
