Olivia Munn Exposes Chinese Fur-Farm Cruelty

Hi, I’m Olivia Munn for PETA. As a proud person of Chinese dissent, it broke my heart to learn just how terribly animals suffer and die on Chinese fur farms and that there are no penalties for this abuse. Please join me in taking a look at where most of the world’s fur originates and who’s really paying the ultimate price for it. When investigators toured the fur farms in China, what they discovered was beyond their worst nightmares. Animals are bludgeoned, have their necks stomped on, and are then hung by their hind legs or tails and skinned alive. As workers cut the fur off the animals’ bodies, they kick and writhe in pain because they are still alive. When the fur is finally peeled off the animals, their furless, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of other animals who have gone before them. Some are still alive, their hearts still beating 5-10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog who had enough strength to lift his head and stare directly into the camera. This is the face of an animal who is now a coat, collar, purse, or just a pair of gloves. At another animal market in China, investigators discovered trucks loaded with up to 800 dogs and cats in tiny wire cages. Many of the animals still had collars on, a sign they had once been someone beloved companion. The animals are still alive and tossed from the tops of trucks like garbage. When cages hit the ground, the animals’ bones are instantly shattered. And after that, they are bludgeoned, hanged, or strangled with wire nooses so that their fur can be turned into trim or trinkets. China is the world’s largest exporter of fur, and this is globalization at its worst. Please use your voice as a consumer to boycott cruelty in the fur trade, by never buying or any wearing fur or fur trim. We can’t stop the cruelty without your help.
