When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms
recently, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling
desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by
their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to
cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and
writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle
too hard to allow a clean cut.

When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their
naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone
before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and
blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to
10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned
raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift
his bloodied head and stare into the camera.
