I'm not usually one to pester people with things they don't care about simply because I care about them, but this is quite possibly the most horrible thing I've ever heard in my life:

"2,000,000 defenceless cats and dogs are skinned alive every year in China. That's 5,479 every day, 228 every hour or nearly 4 every minute all dying in excruciating agony. Why - 'Because' say the Chinese fur skinners 'it's cheaper and easier to skin a live, warm animal thats convulsing in agony than a dead body. The whole skin comes off easily and in one piece.'
The skins are then sold for $1 each and are mislabeled as another animal (not cat, rabbit or dog etc) or even labeled as artificial fur."

If you would like to help, please sign the petition at the below URL, but be WARNED there's a small, but horrible picture of a skinned animal at the top left of the page. There's also a link for a video somewhere, but I highly suggest you skip the photo and the gruesome video and simply sign the petition.

It's really disgusting what people do to animals. I hate animal cruelty and I am totally against it. Why are people so cruel?

It seems to be China has a very cruel culture as far as animals are concerned, I'm sure there are many people in China who are good and kind but generally speaking animals are treated worse than in many other countries. But it shouldn't really be a shock in a country where the people are fairly well repressed.
I think human rights are getting a little better there and hopefully the animals will get better treatment as well.

I agree! But it's definitely shocking to me, that anyone from any country could do that to another living, breathing thing =( Yeah, we can only hope.. and sign petitions lol

I had the misfortune of seeing a very long, very graphic video of several different animals skinned alive a few years. It was, in a word, sickening. Atop the obvious pain they were in, the people handling them didn't even flinch. Ugh. I always sign these things. If my signature is on it a million times I don't care. There's absolutely no reason for such deliberate cruelty.
