Joaquin Phoenix and PETA have put together a video that shows dogs being slaughtered for their hides in China. This is the link to the article and video. PLEASE BE FOREWARNED THAT THIS VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC. I could not finish watching the video.
Joaquin Phoenix Stars in PETA Dog-Leather Expose - Hollywood Reporter
I am probably being a hypocrite because I do have a leather jacket, couch etc. But I don't have any pet cows and this video made me sick to my stomach. I will no longer buy any Chinese leather.
