Horrid people - when will the human race ever stop hurting animals to serve our whims???

Tragically, in China they use dog and cat fur (and rabbit) for both fur clothing and "faux" fur clothing. This is why we have to be SO careful even when buying faux fur if it's made in China...you really have to check the texture and make *sure* it's faux. They have dog and cat farms that are solely for their fur . I've seen a TON of undercover footage for animal cruelty investigations...all of them so horrible...but I have never in my life seen anything so horrific as what they do to these poor creatures to get their fur .
