China's Shocking Dog and Cat Fur Trade

[Iggy]

This is sick, I couldn't watch it all.
They seem have no respect for life.
Please write a letter to the Chinese ambassador in your country, let them know how vile this is.

Is what they do to these dogs and cats any different that what is done to other animals in the process of making fur products?

Just wondering.

I thought I was about to once again see the video I saw a couple of months ago on CBS that has since left an indelible mark on my psyche and heart. I believe I have thought of that horrific video everyday since I first saw it.
That video, also from China, shows the actually killing of this one particular breed call a "racoon dog" which is highly valued for its fur. The dogs are basically grabbed by the hind legs and then have their heads pounded into the pavement until they die. The fur is left intact this way. Remember how Popeye would grab ol' big Blutto in those old 1930/40s Max Fleischer cartoons? He would grab Blutto by his ankles and pound him senseless into the ground like a wet noodle. That's what occurred here, but with nothing remotely comical or entertaining about it. Sadistic is the only term I can associate to it. The final image displays these dogs stacked up like firewood. Inhumane doesn't begin to describe it. Not close.

This subject is finally getting more attention, and deservedly so. While we're on the subject of dogs and cats, consider adopting your next pet from a local shelter, you will save an animal's life and you'll also help to discourage "puppy mills."
