The Fur Trade in China and Asia - Please Read!I have been meaning to put together some information on the fur trade in China for a little while but it has taken me until now to build up the courage to enter these search terms into Google and You Tube. The results make for very upsetting viewing.If, like me, you thought the barbaric practices of the fur trade ended years ago, you are wrong. And if, like me, you had no idea that dog and cat pelts are not only part of the Asian fur trade but also available on the European market then you should read on. The horrific and disturbing videos of dogs, cats, foxes, racoons, mink, rabbits and a whole host of other animals living in unspeakably neglectful conditions and then being skinned alive for their fur and left to die in agony are heartbreaking. Please read my article on the fur trade in China for more information. There are some upsetting images in there.
