Millions of dogs and cats killed for fur coats!!

[Luckylady32807]

I was surfing the web and came across this website called The anti fur org. The worst thing I did was click on it out of curiosity! I was appalled by what I read and I will never buy anything with fur on it after reading it! And the video was horrific! The cruelness of some people! If you need to watch the video here is the link: www.antifursociety.org

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS!

China produces  85% of the  fur on the planet  and has  no animal welfare  laws to protect animals.   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 Swiss Animal Protection Agency's investigators found shocking footage from an  investigation into the Chinese dog and cat fur industry which revealed the slaughter of millions of dogs and cats: 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  U.S,  the European  Union, and  other  countries, where  it  may be sold to unsuspecting customers.

BEWARE OF FALSE LABELS:  Dog and cat fur is often falsely labeled to obscure the true source of the fur. Dog fur products have been sold as Gae-wolf, Asian wolf, Asiatic raccoon, China wolf, Corsac fox, Goupee, Pommern wolf, Loup d'Asie, Asian jackal, Dogue de  Chine, Sobakigae-wolf,  Mongolian dog fur, and Asiatic racoon, Mountain  Goat  skin, Sakon Makhon lamb, Kou pi, Dog  skin  plasters (sold in Chinatowns as a cure for rheumatism).  Cat  fur has  been sold as Housecat, Wild cat, Katzenfelle, Goyangi, Mountain cat, rabbit, maopee, gatto cinesi, natuerliches mittel,and chat de Chine. Fur manufacturers in China told HSUS investigators they could sew any label  they asked for onto dog and cat fur products to make them more marketable.

Since 1997,  The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has  investigated  and  documented the international trade in dog and cat fur and  skins.   This  undercover  investigation  has  spanned the globe from  source  countries in China,  the Philippines, & Thailand to retailers and wholesalers in the United States, Russia, and the European Union.

Over two million dogs and cats are slaughtered  each year for their furs and skins, mostly in China and  other Asian countries. Investigators   documented  50,000  to 100,000 cat pelts stockpiled at animal byproduct factories in China.  At least ten dogs are slaughtered to make a single coat, more if puppies are used.  Up to 24 cats  are slaughtered to make one fur coat.    Dog and cat fur is used in trims, linings, hats, decorative  figurines, and  folk  remedies.  Skins are  used in dog  chew toys and shoe leather.

The slaughter of these animals is violent and pitiless.Cats are strangled inside their cages as other cats look on.  Dogs are  noosed about the neck  by metal wires,  and then slashed across the groin. The wire noose cuts into their throats as  they struggle  in pain before finally losing consciousness. In Harbin China, HSUS investigators documented a  German shepherd  still blinking  and conscious as he was being skinned. At a dog farm several hours  north of Harbin,  investigators  documented dead dogs hanging from hooks as  others,  still  alive,  awaited  their  fate  outside the  same  cold, dismal room.

An investigator from Swiss Animals Protection/East International said:"Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards...In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the simplest acts of kindness."

A LIFE OF MISERY BEFORE THEIR BRUTAL DEATH:   Fur-bearing animals are killed by gassing, neck  breaking, anal  electrocution,  clubbing,  trapping and injection  with  poisons  so  as  not  to  damage  their  pelts.  These  animals  live  horrendous existences when  they are "ranch-raised" on  a "fur farm",  or  are  brutally killed in the hands of trappers.  On ranches, they spend their entire lives in tiny,  filthy cages and  suffer tremendously, many become deranged until they  meet with brutal deaths. The U.S. produces about 10% of the cage-raised fur in the world; 60 to 75% of the fur in  coats  sold  in  the  U.S.  comes  from  cage-raised animals, and 90% of cage-raised foxes are used  in  fur-trim.  (HSUS 2004).   Trapping is another incredibly cruel method used on fur bearing animals.

I read enough of your post I hate to tell you honey. I am kind of upset that they are using dogs in such a manner.  But now with the cats it is a different story. I hope they skin every cat they see and if I could contribute to the cause I am willing because I hate cats with a passion. So I don't feel saddened at all. I am very happy. I only wish they could go through some of these areas where I have seen cats, it looks like they have almost taken over. So good for them!
