Watch What You Buy: Dog And Cat Skin Controversy

Watch What You Buy: Dog And Cat Skin Controversy

The Issue

It is a documented and horrific fact: China abuses cats, dogs, and rabbits, and then eats them. Witnesses and documentaries have shown evidence of animals being boiled, skinned, beaten to death, suffocated, hanged, or bled to death.

A very popular fur in China is that of the German Shepard. This is because it's fur is easily mistaken for coyote, fox, or raccoon fur.

Mongolia Dog Fur, Gae-wolf, Gou-pee, China Wolf, Corsac Fox, Katzenfelle, Goyangi, and Mountain Cat are typical names used to cover up the bloody truth from unsuspecting customers buying dog or cat fur items.

China, Phillippines, and Thailand all take part in this gruesome practice. United States, France, Germany, and Italy all buy fur from these countries... the same type of fur that your housedog or housecat wears. 

Boycott the importing of fur to the United States and help in the fight to stop this cruel act.
