If you have an interest in purchasing a fur coat or trim think of the process and suffering of the animal.  There is absolutely no justification to trap, kill, confine, and torture for any benefit to achieve pleasure or depicted as fashionable. When you see a coat graced by an attractive woman visualize  the skeleton of the animal. Our  coat is our skin which nature provides for us. Study the propaganda and advertisement of how  fur coats and fur trims are sold to the consumer.   

Is it necessary to  skin and steal a coat which nature has  provided through the course of evolution?
Why do you want to wear a fur coat or fur trim?
Why do we have a need to dominate opposed to sharing with the fur bearer? 

A more accurate picture of wearing a fur bearing animal. The middle is hidden from the consumer.

                               China’s Culture of Cruelty

China’s long history of animal abuse is back in the spotlight as one Chinese county indiscriminately massacres every dog in sight—more than 50,000 in total-some right in front of their families. This and other appalling atrocities—such as feeding live sheep and chickens to tigers in zoos and skinning conscious animals, including dogs and cats, for their fur, which is then exported to the West—take place because China has no animal protection laws.

Tens of Thousands of Dogs Are Being Clubbed, Poisoned, and Electrocuted

In a hideously cruel response to an outbreak of rabies in late July, authorities in Mouding County in Southwest China ordered the killing of more than 50,000 dogs, including 4,000 who were immunized against the disease. Officials clubbed many animals to death in the street right before their guardians’ eyes. Animals who were not beaten mercilessly died equally violent, gruesome deaths by poisoning or electrocution.

PETA’s offices have been inundated over the years with calls from people around the world who are outraged by China's dog "exterminations." Eyewitnesses have noted that many dogs have died slow, agonizing deaths in these mass slaughters, which illustrate the nation's lack of adequate animal control plans. PETA’s offers to assist Chinese officials in implementing such plans—in order to avoid drastic, widespread killings—have not been accepted.

Other Common Atrocities

• With the world's largest population of sheep, lambs, goats, and kids, China is the world's most prolific exporter of the hides of these animals as well as those of cows. In 2004, Chinese leather constituted more than one-third of all exported leather in the world.
• China's live-animal markets are notoriously cruel. Animals of many species—from cats, dogs, birds, and boars to deer and even reptiles—are confined to wire cages in which they can barely move. Their slaughter is no less depraved. Animals are routinely skinned alive and hacked apart, piece by piece, until they bleed to death.
• Wild animal parks housing tens of thousands of animals conduct live feedings of lions and tigers so that visitors can watch the gory spectacle.
• About 7,000 Asiatic black bears—also known as Moon bears—are confined to tiny pens so small that they can't even move on China's more than 200 bear-bile farms. Although alternatives to their bile—which some people believe has healing properties—exist, bears are still subjected to crude surgeries in order to implant catheters or to create permanent holes in their abdomens.
• China supplies more than half the monkeys imported to the U.S. for experiments, and that number has increased sevenfold in the last 10 years.
  
• Your old furs could save an animal's life—and gain you a tax deduction!

Anxious to part with a relic from your unenlightened past? Is Aunt Mabel ready to make her closet a fur-free zone? Your tax-deductible donation of unwanted fur coats and stoles helps with our educational displays and anti-fur "fashion shows" and provides bedding for animals.

Unwanted furs may also help people in need. Because of the vast number of furs that we receive, we donate many of them to homeless people who can't afford to buy their own coats—the only people who have any excuse to wear fur. Every year, PETA holds a few "fur kitchens" at homeless shelters around the country, and we've even shipped hundreds of furs to help warm the women and children freezing in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Your donation will be tax deductible. Clean your closet—and clear your conscience—by simply mailing your unwanted furs to:
