When undercover
researchers made their way onto Chinese fur farms, they found that many
animals are still alive and desperately struggling after the workers
flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to
take out their skin . When workers on these farms began to cut the skin
and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick . Workers stomp on the
necks and heads of animals who struggle to allow a clean cut. When the
fur is finally peeled off from the animals. Their heads, their naked,
bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone the same
procedure before. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and
blinking slowly. Some of the animals hearts are still beating 5to 10
minutes after their skin is peeled off.
One investigator
recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough
power to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera. Before they
are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the
ground. The workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard
surfaces, causing broken bones and erupt but not always immediate death.
Animal watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.
Undercover investigators from Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International
visited fur farms in China's Hebei Province, and it quickly became
clear why outsiders are restricted from visiting. There are no penalties
for abusing animals on fur farms in China farmers can house and
slaughter animals however they see fit. The investigators found devil
beyond their worst imaginings and concluded.
Conditions on
Chinese fur farms make a scoff 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. On these farms,
other animals like foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals pace and
shiver in outdoor wire cages, exposed to driving 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. The
globalization of the fur trade has made it impossible to know where fur
products come from. China supplies more than half of the finished fur
garments . Through this video PETA has asked for people's help and
support, to fight against animal cruelty.
