The fur industry is one of the cruelest industries in the world, with China being the world's source for most fur products. In the absence of any legislation or government control, animals in the Chinese fur industry are subjected to the most extreme forms of cruelty. Investigations of fur farms in China have exposed shocking methods of trapping, transporting, confining and killing. Among the species being used are included not only the traditional fur suppliers, such as rabbits, foxes, minks and the raccons, but also domestic dogs and cats – whose fur is purposely called by other names and exported as fur by other species. More than 40 million animals are killed each year for the use of their skins.
