I have for some time been aware of the fact that the Chinese fur trade is incredibly cruel, but it was only when I watched the following video http://features.peta.org/ChineseFurFarms/ that I realised just how deplorable it was. I was unable to watch the video to the end as it was so horrendous and upsetting to watch.
Following this I was at the Horse of the Year at Olympia and saw that many stalls were selling knitted woollen hates with real fur pom poms, made in China for as little as £20. Those people who bought these hats were no doubt oblivious to the horrors that had occured to make them!
If you have not seen this video before I would ask you to please watch at least a short part of it, and then sign this petition to urge the government to bring a total ban to the import of fur from China and other countries where they treat these animals so cruelly up to, and during their death.
