Watch this. Never Be Silent

Every day, animals lose their lives in awful ways. From the factory farm to the dinner table, they are mutilated, crammed into cages, and killed in painful ways. They are shackled, beaten, and forced to perform for entertainment. They are poisoned and blinded in experiments. And they are skinned alive for fashion. They suffer, yet they cannot ask for the abuse to stop.

That’s up to us. Find your voice—here and now.

These are raccoon dogs, an Asian species related to foxes. Raccoon dogs are being farmed in China so their fur can be used to make the fake ugg boots. On fur farms, many of them are still alive and struggling desperately when workers hang them by their tails to skin them.

Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle to allow a clean cut. When raccoon dogs are dragged from cages they’re slammed repeatedly to the ground before being skinned. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.

After being skinned alive, some survive for as long as 10 minutes, blinking in pain on a pile of other bodies.

Is there a skeleton in your closet?
Say No! to the cruel and barbaric slaughter of millions of animals around the world for their skin. Say No! to fur coats, fur collars, fur trim, fur trinkets & fur cat toys. Help expose the truth about fur and spread the word until we close down the international fur trade forever.
