The Angora fur trade industry in China is employing unconscionable practices to maximize their profits. The rabbits from which the fur is extracted are subjected to prolonged periods of torture, they are kept alive for months on end and tied down while workers rip the fur from their living bodies. Their screams fall on deaf ears and after the slow harrowing ordeal, their bloodied frail bodies are tossed into tiny cages to recover from the trauma until their fur grows back and the process is repeated again. This goes on for months and months until the rabbits are of no further use and they are subsequently skinned and killed.

This Chinese government requires nothing of the industry and imposes no standards of humane treatment to protect these animals. It is our duty as international citizens to call on the UN to boycott this industry until the Chinese government rectifies it's policies to come in line with international standards against animal cruelty.
