    The above video shows a fox was killed in a Chinese fur farm.

    Whether it came from an animal on a fur farm or one who was trapped in the wild, every fur coat, trinket, and bit of trim caused an animal tremendous suffering—and took away a life.Animals who are trapped in the wild can suffer for days from blood loss, shock, dehydration, frostbite, gangrene, and attacks by predators. They may be caught in steel-jaw traps that slam down on their legs, often cutting to the bone; Conibear traps, which crush their necks with 90 pounds of pressure per square inch; or water-set traps, which leave beavers, muskrats, and other animals struggling for more than nine agonizing minutes before drowning.

    Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gas, and poison.

    More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and often skinned alive for their fur. Chinese fur is often deliberately mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, there’s no way of knowing for sure whose skin you’re in.

    Luckily, there is no need to be cruel to stay warm and look cool. Cruelty-free fabrics and faux furs are available in stores everywhere, and PETA continues to work with designers and clothing retailers to encourage them to use and sell only animal-friendly fabrics.

    无论是来自皮草养殖场的动物,或者是在野外掉入陷阱的动物,每一件皮草大衣、皮革装饰品以及少量的修剪都会给动物带来极大的痛苦-乃至夺取它们的生命。掉进野外陷阱的动物会遭受数日的失血、惊吓、脱水、冻伤、坏疽以及受到袭击。它们也许会踩到捕兽夹,常常骨头也会被夹断。捕熊陷阱会产生每平方英尺90磅的压力,足以压碎它们的脖子。还有种水下的陷阱,让海狸、麝鼠等动物在被溺死前极度痛苦地挣扎长达九分多钟。

    而在皮草养殖场的动物一生都将呆在狭窄肮脏的笼子里。养殖人员用最容易而又最残忍的手段结束它们的生命,其中包括了:窒息、电击、有毒气体以及毒药。

    在美国,有超过一半的皮革来自中国。常常为了获得完整的皮毛,数百万计的狗和猫死于棍棒、绞杀等死法。而中国的皮革也常常被故意更改标签,如果你穿皮草,你几乎无从得知是来自于什么动物身上的。

    下面是一个关于在中国的皮草养殖场狐狸是如何被杀死的视频。第一次看的时候我哭了。我们要对皮革制品说“不”,对残酷的手段说“不”!

    幸运的是,现在可以不需要用这种残忍的手段来得到温暖以及时髦的装饰。零残忍织物及人造皮革随处都可以买到,PETA(善待动物组织)也不断地和设计师及服装零售商合作,鼓励他们尽可能使用和销售对动物友好型织物。
