Racoon dogs skinned alive to make knock off uggs

This is possible the most HORRIFYING, DISGUSTING , MEAN, SHOCKING, GRAPHIC, CRUEL ting i have EVER seen. I genuinely cried, and spend most of the video with my hands clasped over my mouth. I feel sick and spreading the news like this is the Least i can do. Do not watch the video if you are easily you know sick, it is so horrifying there are no words.

Basically Chinese farms are skinning raccoon dogs alive for their fur. Real uggs are made of sheep skin - not an awful lot better - and can cost up to $300 a pair, however these knock offs are being produced at a fraction of a price because they are using raccoon dog fur. Around 40 million raccoon dogs a year are being killed for their fur. Whats worse, raccoon dogs are not classed as dogs and so are exempt from the high street rules apparently, so they could in theory, legally end up on the hightstreet and we would be none the wiser.

What you can do:

• Make sure if you have to buy uggs you buy real ones.
• Avoid anything that mentions animal products/testing etc.. and watch out for fur.
• If possible, until all this has blown over and been solved, avoid uggs in general. Who know's what is going on behind the scenes.
• Spread the word.
