Help Me Stop Raccoon Dog Fur Trade

Recently China has become the leading fur manufacturer in the World. China's new ascendance in the fur market, fur trade production and retail comes with a heavy price for the fur-bearing animals. China apparently has no laws in place to regulate the confinement and slaughter of the raccoon dogs, foxes, minks, rabbits, and even dogs and cats, whose fur is responsible for a highly profitable industry. China's fur industry has developed across numerous fur farms over the last 12 years. China's farms number as many as 10,000. All the above listed animals are a concern, yet Raccoon Dogs seem to be the focus of companies who claim to use "faux fur"  The animals are immobilized by being stunned with repeated blows to the head, or by being slammed on the ground. The animals are injured and may convulse, tremble or attempt to crawl away, The skinning may begin while the animal is conscious or regaining consciousness. "Desperate and writhing in agony, animals conscious during these procedures hopelessly try to defend themselves even to the point where all the skin had been forced off breathing, heart beat's and eyelid movements were evident for 5 to 10 minutes", was a quote from an SAP report that captured videos and photos. The ITIF ( International Fur Trade Federation) of China claims that not all fur farms use the same methods in China and they are urging them to realize pelt quality improves when employing "Western Methods".  Companies that haven't yet stopped the use of Raccoon Dog fur include illard's, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Signing this petition takes a step closer to eliminating the live skinning of these defenseless animals. Click here to see a video showing the actions.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AO-RGq4V3M

NOTE: MOST PRODUCTS THAT USE THESE ANIMAL'S FUR CLAIM TO BE FAKE FUR ON THE LABEL. STOP THE FUR INDUSTRY IN GENERAL
