<p>Despite knowing that the fur industry is violent and bloody, Google continues to allow advertisements for fur, including dog fur on Chinese Web sites.</p>
<p>The fur cuffs, collars, and coats advertised on Google come from animals who spend their short, <a href="http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp">miserable lives in cramped, filthy cages until they are slaughtered</a>, often while they are still conscious, or they are trapped and beaten to death in the wild. Fur farmers and trappers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gassing, bludgeoning, drowning, and poisoning. Many animals are still alive and able to feel pain when workers begin to rip the skin off their bodies.</p>
<p>There is a <a href="http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=trent_fur">thriving dog- and cat-fur industry in Asia</a>, and China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the U.S. Most of this fur is falsely labeled as "rabbit fur" or is simply not labeled at all. And since raw fur pelts often move through international auctions before they are sewn in other countries, the final products might also read, "Made in Italy" or "Made in France."</p>
<p><strong>Tell Google CEO Eric Schmidt that modern, successful businesses don't sell or advertise fur. As long as Google supports the fur industry by allowing fur companies to advertise through it, Google might as well be stuck in the Stone Age.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;Send this message to: Eric Schmidt, CEO<br /><br /><a href="https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1932">https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1932</a><br /><br />Stop Advertising Fur!<br /><br />I am shocked that Google allows advertisements from merchants that sell real fur. Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gassing, and poisoning. In the wild, animals suffer immensely when caught in steel traps and when trappers return to beat them to death.</p>
<p>By allowing companies to advertise real fur, Google is promoting cruelty to animals. On Google's Chinese Web site, there have even been advertisements for dog fur, which is a thriving industry there. I hope to hear from PETA that Google will stop advertising fur and adopt a permanent fur-free policy, as so many other companies have done.</p>
