China has emerged as one of the world's most powerful economies but is still mistrusted and feared (as distinct from respected) because since emerging from behind the bamboo curtain, it's government has done little to dispel its autocratic image and apparent disregard for human rights. Quite apart from human rights, decent people everywhere could never accept a society so depraved and bereft of common decency as to accept the skinning of live animals as acceptable behaviour.

It's burgeoning economy has resulted from flooding the world with cheap consumer products produced by a cheap unregulated work force. A fact that is understandable, having regard to its enormous population and fantastic work ethic.

In turn, China has developed an insatiable appetite for raw product from other countries and governments keen to export to China are reluctant to criticise or offend the Chinese government.

Given this background, will your government impose economic sanctions against China or openly criticise the Chinese government or demand that it puts a stop to the Chinese cat and dog fur trade? Most unlikely. However, there will surely be individuals within governments, so incensed and horrified by the trade that they will support Our Cause.

The Chinese government is well aware of the economic power play behind the scenes. It also knows it has a long way to go earn acceptance from the free world.

And make no mistake, China absolutely craves acceptance as a world leader that is trusted and respected and there are emerging signs that it is prepared to adopt more acceptable and responsible policies to earn that acceptance.

It knows that if it behaves or permits behaviour that is abhorrent to people of the democratic world, it will not earn the trust or respect it craves. Its our duty to show China that it can take a single , but highly significant step towards overcoming the prejudice of the millions of free-thinking decent people, if it recognises animal rights and, in particular, abolishes the abhorrent trade in cat and dog fur.

Cat and dog pelts sell for about US$1 each and every year, 2,000,000 cats and dogs suffer a horrific death, skinned alive for the pelts.

For what?

1. An insignificant contribution towards the Chinese economy - a few million US$; and

2. A clear message to the world that so long as the Chinese government permits the trade, China is not fit to take its place as a leading nation and certainly not one that is entitled to any trust or respect.

The "adverse fallout" and abhorrence for the Chinese government resulting from the trade will far exceeds the paltry contribution it makes towards China's economy. It is in China's interest, to abolish the trade.

It's our duty to tell the world about the trade and kick up such a stink that our message reverberates around the world.

Remember Tianamen Square. Let's make this another Tianamen Square - this time, for the animals.

The United States of America is still accepting skins from over seas, especially China, where the most incredibly brutal form of fur farming takes place, "LIVE ANIMAL SKINNING".  Their reason for such a horrific crime against animals is that it is easier to take the fur from a warm, live animal. Sickening! The skins are processed for wear and formed into so called FASHION by some of the top designers in the U.S and around the world.

  Sadly, it is the most inhumane form of fur farming, next to anal and genital electrocution.  Head bashing, neck breaking are common with "LIVE ANIMAL SKINNING".  Animals of all types have their heads bashed with sticks, metal rods, and many other blunt objects before being SKINNED ALIVE.  Some are hoisted in the air by their back feet in order to have their heads pounded on the ground, very few die that way.  They too, are then skinned alive. After being SKINNED ALIVE, they are tossed aside like garbage to die a horrific and painful death.

  In China, cats and dogs who were once someone's pet are stolen from their homes just to be shoved in tiny cages.  These animals are compacted so tightly that their little feet hang out and once they arrive at the factories, the cages are thrown from the tops of trucks with the animals inside, like sacks of garbage.  In these scenarios, the animals legs, backs, and necks are broken and injured.  They will suffer great pain with no veterinarian care before going to slaughter.

  The importation of these skins by the United States says that our government supports these horrible forms of animal torture, all in the name of so called FASHION.  We, as Americans, urge you to ban the fur trade altogether in the United States of America.

Es imprescindible que el mundo entero se dé cuenta de la depravación e inconciencia existente en el pueblo chino, no se puede permitir que un país con raíces tan sangrientas que se dedica a la tortura de perros y gatos, en busca de un mínimo lucro por ello, se manifieste ante el mundo entero con otra imagen, No! Es hora de correr la voz ante todo el mundo para que sepan la maldad que existe en China y la repudien por completo...seamos las voces de aquellos que no pueden defenderse ni hablar sobre el sufrimiento e infierno que es el vivir en ese país asqueroso y vergonzoso!. Un país sin valores morales, sin compasión ni respeto por la vida, un país que no merece el respeto de nadie ni de ningún gobierno, busquemos la manera de ayudar a esas pobres criaturas que son sacrificadas dia a dia de la manera más cruel e inimaginablemente sádica! El estúpido, ignorante y barbárico comercio de pieles no justifica la muerte dolorosa de tantos animalitos indefensos!

This is a most brutal way to treat any animal. There is no excuse for putting animals through such torture.

Too many to list but it includes animal protection from hunting, poaching, fur trade, medicinal production, testings, and more.

The cruelty that is happening in China on a daily basis is unthinkable. What is happening makes me feel physically sick, how anyone with an ounce of compassion of feeling torture helpless animals?? Animals have no voice of their own and we need to help do everything we can to bring this cruel tradition to an end and ensure anyone who continues this practice will be duely prosecuted.

I cant stand the thought of animals getting skinned alive, as far as Im concerned people should care more about animals in most cases because they cant speak for themselves and dont understand why people are doing these things to them, they feel pain just as much as anyone else and I cant believe animals in the world have and are being skinned alive for money its an absolute tragedy, Im so passionate about animals and If i was one of these rich and famous people I would stop and think about these animals before buying anything. Animals are so important to me, I would love to be able to stop animal cruelty all together once and for all, I refuse to wear fur or leather and I think people all over the world should start doing the same. Just to think of all these poor animals what they must be going through, I cant even imagine It must be unbearable, being skinned alive in pain and dieng a slow slow painful death, I am so sad that people do this to animals I would like to encourage people as much as I can to help, PLEASE STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY

Soy boliviana y estoy segura que como yo hay miles de personas de muchos países que piensan que la China es un país carente de valores morales, sin respeto a la vida y a la compasión, es un país donde abunda la maldad y la crueldad, es hora de que la gente que vemos la realidad de ese país, la realidad sangrienta sobre la que viven y con la que han manchado su imagen, hablemos por aquellos que no pueden hacerlo, actuemos para que su Gobierno reaccione y se dé cuenta de la imagen verdadera que proyecta la China, y de como está enfureciendo su maldad al mundo entero y a todos aquellos que tiene respeto por la vida y los animales. "Una sociedad se juzga por la forma en que trata a sus animales". (Ahora nos damos cuenta el tipo de sociedad indecente que es la China!!!!) Firmemos esta petición y hagamos algo por aquellos que están sufriendo en ese infierno llamado China.

Because live skinning is not only an absolute disgrace to human race, but it's also a criminal offence by it's nature and should entitle criminal penalty and/or imprisonment.

Every creature on this earth is made up of the same energy as we, energy can not be destroyed. You are only adding to the negative energy in the world when an innocent creature is harmed. The pain that animal goes through in death effects the meat that our fellow humans eat. There are many reasons this is wrong. Stop this!

alright... this box just asked me the question "Why is this issue important to you?" Are you REALLY going to be asking me this question when over 2 million to 7 billion animals get their skin torn off and have it sold to the markets a year?? it's a tragedy!

the other issues that are important to me is that we should make this petition become known (global wide)

i believe the man that does this should be skinned himself. watch his loved ones in line to be next. be bashed on the head, hung upside down and have there skin slowly peeled off. then thrown in a pile to die. see if u have the strength like the racoon to lift ur head n look up at a camera. see if u have the strength to comment on how much money u have made doing this to others. then let god deal with you
