Subject: PLEASE SIGN PETITION: Urge Chinese
Government to Curb Cruel Fur Trade Practices
“The
majority of fur products–some 85%–are imported from China,
where animal welfare regulations are non-existent. A recent
report produced by an international coalition of animal
advocacy organizations revealed horrific conditions on
Chinese fur farms. Investigators found workers attempting to
stun animals by repeatedly slamming them against the ground
or bashing their heads with clubs.”
Please
sign online petition and forward widely!

"A
report produced by CFTWI (Care for the wild international)
has revealed that the lives of millions of animals held
captive in Chinese fur farms are characterized by
extraordinary and chronic suffering, before being terminated
in the most violent and agonizing deaths.
China is the world’s biggest fur trade production and
processing base in the world. Most of this fur originates
from captive animals, including red and arctic foxes,
raccoon dogs, mink, and rabbits. China is also a country
without any legal provisions for animal welfare and a
correspondingly poor track record. Last year, CFTWI teamed
up with colleagues from Switzerland and Taiwan to examine
the situation on the ground. This report is shocking. The
investigators uncovered unimaginable acts of systematic
brutality and animal cruelty on a colossal scale."
