"When investigators looked into Chinese fur farms, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling 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 writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut."
Investigators from Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International toured fur farms in China's Hebei Province, and said there are no penalties for abusing animals on fur farms in China. "Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards. In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the simplest acts of kindness."
