Myth 9< Back

You may have seen a video taken in China and released in 2005, but here are the facts: filmed confessions and signed affidavits from those involved have now proven that, in fact, the events were intentionally staged by professional activists who paid Chinese villagers to perform these cruel acts in order to make an anti-fur propaganda piece. Such cruelty is of course illegal in all fur producing countries, and moreover, the fur sector actively encourages all governments to enforce anti-cruelty laws. Not only would skinning an animal alive be unimaginable sadistic and unethical, it would also be unnecessarily difficult, impractical, dangerous and result in a poor-quality pelt. In fact, the animal must have been dead for several hours before the pelting process can begin. Anyone who attempts to carry out such a vile procedure should be dealt with by the law.
