Undercover agents have filmed footage in China of animals being SKINNED ALIVE! This is a common practice. Imagine having all your skin cut off while you are still conscious-its terrible death. The animals do not die straight away, many linger on for up to ten minutes before dying from shock and blood loss. The pain must be appalling. Cruelty at this level demands a response from every right minded person. It is simply wrong to treat any animal in this way, there can be no excuses.
Few people are able to watch the video on the PETA website. I watched it for a couple of minutes before having to stop.I couldn’t sleep for a couple of days.
Simply pontificating about how aweful this is is not going to change the Chinese peoples attitude towards animals. The fur industry is driven by profit. Bad publicity, protest and above all BOYCOTTING Chinese fur products is the only way forward.
If you agree with me then please support this blog, sign the petitions and forward the details on to friends.
Some people avoid looking at anything too distressing, its a normal human reaction. They feel that there is no point, there is nothing you can do.This is a family friendly blog, designed to raise awareness without being so graphic it turns people off visiting. To see the footage concerned you need to click the links, there are no horrific images directly loaded onto this blog.
Do not feel we can have no impact. The Chinese have had to invent a new character,’animal rights’, for their written language to save writing a whole sentence every time this is raised. Things CAN, indeed ARE changing. You can be part of that change. Animal cruelty, of a magnitude not witnessed in the UK, is routine in China and so some sites are trying to pressure the Chinese Govt to bring in legislation against animal cruelty.
Please encourage people to visit this site, or any other of the welfare organisations listed who are campaigning against the Chinese fur trade. You will have done something good today.
Thank you,
from Pam, Boris and thousands of other animals who currently have no voice.

Thank you, please come back regularly. Boris’s petition is nearly finished at the Downing Street site, although there is still time to sign it if you come from the UK and are quick…, but I will be putting up further links to conntinue the campaign in the New Year.
