Dogs raised for fur in China




This video is from the Humane Society of America..... http://www.hsus.org/video_clips/life_and_death_of_chinas.html


It is tremendously graphic. I am only posting this as an alert to individuals so that they be aware that there is a new trend in labeling things as "faux fur" when in actuality it is raccoon dog, a breed of dog raised in china specifically for the fur trade.
