In many fur farms, especially Chinese Fur farms, animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and twist. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut.
When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned.
Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground, workers club them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always an immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row. In China, There are no regulations governing fur farms, farmers can house and slaughter animals however they see good enough to skin. In their lives and their horrfying deaths, these animals have been denied their freedom and the simplest acts of kindness. On these farms, foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals pace and quiver in outdoor wire cages, exposed to forceful rain, freezing nights, and, at other times, scorching sun. Mother animals, who are driven crazy from rough handling and intense confinement and have nowhere to hide while giving birth, often kill their babies after delivering litters.
The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to wear any fur.
