"Skinned alive for their fur." How does such a cruel and immoral thing happen in a supposedly moral country--or do we as a nation allow anything and everything (including animal cruelty) as long as there's a market for it and someone is willing to pay money? When will women (and a few men) stop wearing fur and recognize that animal rights must supersede mere vanity? All animals deserve kindness and compassion.

I am not an animal lover as some people can be, but i would definitely prefer to see THIS story over Tiger Woods'.

Why are they "skinned alive?" Is there a reason for it?

omg....... i went to that link that was posted.....i cannot stop crying.....

how could anyone be so cruel????

humans are such loathsome creatures.....it's just inconcieveable to me that these things actually are allowed to happen....

shame on all of us:(

Horrible, simply horrible. No creature should be made to suffer for any reason. This is worse than the baby harp seals, who are also sometimes skinned alive before they have a chance to die after being clubbed. Poor animals, I wish I could be there to end their suffering quickly, and avenge their pain upon those butchers who dare to call themselves human.

CALL CHINA!!!..Thats who does it. But because of money and trade this has been going on for YEARS!!..You can find it on YouTube and it's NOT PRETTY. They will still do it for the european market, It will never stop.

At the rate we're borrowing money from them, you can figure we won't go after the Chinese for anything they do now. Skinning alive a shy, docile animals for dollars (also cats, primates, etc), destroying the world's waterfowl population (you didn't think all those great down-filled items from china you love were made entirely with farmed-animal feathers, did you?) Also, the Chinese have recently discovered a new culinary love. You guessed it. Whale meat ! What is left for them to defile? Black bears (our bears) are routinely slaughtered just for their gall bladders, which sell on the Chinese "medicinal" markets for big bucks. They are the scum of the earth.

it happens because most people are too stupid to research anything. I guarantee most of the people who wear fur don't know it is skinned ALIVE. Unless they are truly evil. Why don't you just kill it and also use the meat for some kind of gourmet cooking ingredient, instead of skinning something alive and then wasting half the animal and torturing it.
And don't say all women wear fur, I would NEVER wear it in my life just like I would never eat things like veal. The only women who even wear fur are evil and heartless, so don't throw us all in that one category.

I would like to 2nd that "Pay attention to China" post. In certain provinces, I know firsthand North Korea does it. Saint Bernard stew. I kid you not. But a lot of these humane groups are fronts for communist groups so they wouldn't criticize the fatherland. As far as fur coats go. Had you come to America with the Early settlers, you would have welcomed a fur pelt to kep you warm, or you'd have frozen to death. It's not a morality question. It's a choice question. I draw the line at skinning alive.
