China’s Dog and Cat Fur Trade

Millions of animals are killed every year in China for their fur. According to Swiss Animal Protection (SAP), Chinese companies will at times deliberately mislabel their fur products as “Asian jackal’, “rabbit”, or “raccoon” to fool consumers.

Animals are rounded up (many are beloved pets), thrown into crates and taken to the fur farms where they are stunned with blows to the head or swung against the ground. SAP has documented conscious animals during the skinning process. Since there is no animal welfare legislation in China regarding dogs or cats, these animals are denied any act of kindness and granted all of the atrocities of cruelty. Pain and suffering go into every piece of fur manufactured from these animals. Please boycott all fur-like products (even toys) from China and write to China’s Ambassador in the US:

I’ve Been Away Too Long

I have been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up with my internet activities and I've missed it so much. Once you've been away for so long, it becomes hard to get started again; harder than when you first initialed it. You feel like you just don't know where to get started or if anyone is even interested anymore. Here I am again and I hope to not let anything come between blogging and me!
