Why do chinese people doing this? Is it all for the money they dont care for others because they just want money. Chinese do anything for money theres nothing more important than them but money. If they can sell there soul for money they will!! because money is the most important thing in them.

I definitely agree that this is all about the money...in my opinions the people involved in this are no better then devils. You may not have watched the video: but in one part a man stomped on a small cage packed full of animals (I don't know if they were dogs or cats)...what an @sshole!

Im not watching it because it would upset me. My daughter I belong to "Save the Moon Bears", which is occuring in China too. The capture and cage the moon bears in tiny areas, then get bile from them. It is a disgusting practise and I have no doubt the fur farms are jusat as bad. Thank you for bringing this up.

Horrible. I feel sorry for those poor people who have had their dogs and cats missing and possibly got their places overrun by rats and mice, because of those selfish people It is pure greed that is all. By the way had you mention it as Cat and Dog Fur Farms, you would have gotten more people. I just checked the video out of curiosity and was really shocked when I saw what the Chinese were doing, killing those poor cats and dogs for their fur.

Oh I know!!! I can't imagine losing a pet there, knowing that there's a possibility it ended up there. That would just kill me! I really hope someone can put a stop to this!

You had a dog that lived until they were 20?? Lucky! I can't imagine myself ever living with a dog. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, and that they are not replaceable, but it always feels great to save another one to love! I would be worried sick if any of my dogs got lost, but I worry most about Maggie...if she was ever lost I don't think we'd ever get her back. She's afraid of strangers, and probably won't let anyone catch her. She may even get snappy if she's scared enough. None of that is her fault, she was neglected as a puppy, but it's still a character fault.

I do not like to watch these types of videos, but I happily signed the petition. I am 3693. The one after you! I posted it on Twitter as well! These things have to be stopped. There is too much crazy behaviour going on around the world as greed for money takes over from caring for our planet and the others that we share it with. Thanks to the internet, many more people are aware of these issues nowadays and are taking a stand. I think there is a movement now to a more peaceful planet, but it will take generations to change the whole consciousness of the world as a whole!

I don't have my Facebook and Twitter connected only because I don't always want something I say on Twitter to be read on Facebook. But in this case, I did share it on both. Thanks for caring! :)

Yeah, getting the word out through social media is a good idea. My Twitter account is also linked to my Facebook account so every tweet I do gets posted to FB as well. More bang from my buck if you like! I will keep spreading the word too now!

Maybe you haven't come to China. So you only see some pictures on sites. In China many many people like or love dogs and cats. please browse: www.intopet.com Many chinese people look them as the pets. So chinese people love animal too. Sometimes I hope you can visit China for researching the truth. No one needs cat's or dog's fur here. Of course, a little of people kill cats or dogs. But a liitel of american kill the animal too, I think.

I am not saying every single Chinese person is evil...did you watch the video? I know I said it's disturbing and don't watch it if you don't want to get upset...but the video clearly states that many of the animals were pets before they were stolen. It is ILLEGAL here in the states to treat the animals the way they are treated in China. People are not allowed to hoard animals like that, pack them so full in cages so they can not move AT ALL, and then skin them alive. I think I can safely say, NO, that does not happen here. And it still needs to be stopped.

This inhumane act should be stopped.Definitely!I felt much sympathy of pitiful animals.But does this happen only in China?So many fur products are consumed in the world that this problem couldn't just exist in China.Only aiming at China seems kind of racism.May be use"Stop Fur Farms"to be your title instead of"Stop China's Fur Farms"would be more suitable.

I'm sure fur is collected elsewhere, but I'm not sure if it's done in this matter---in these terrible conditions. And I'm not sure the animals are skinned alive in other places. I still think all fur farms should be stopped, whether they are 'humane' or not...but I guess we gotta start somewhere! And this video was so appalling I figured it would be a good spot. Thank you! :)

before I sign any petition I would like to know where the petition is going....I would like to see the whole petition and make sure is legitimate, not just someone who is collecting names and emails.

I've signed the petition. I don't even want to watch the video, because it's probably the same one I saw a year or two ago, and thinking of that particular one still disturbs me...images of caged, and then skinned dogs, and other animals still bothersome...

Thank you for caring and signing! Yeah, it is a very disturbing video and I could never watch it again!

I've unfortunately have known about this for over a year now and even wrote an article for Associated Content. I didn't see this video but have seen many other disgusting ones especially of dogs and cats being skinned alive. Also unfortunate is that as long as people insist on wearing fur, the fur "industry" will continue no matter where, not only China. Fur farms that raise animals for fur are not any better...and they kill animals usually by anal electrocution.

Wow that is really bad, I know that I am going to be singing the petition today. I can't believe that things like this happen. It is for this reason that I think that people shouldn't buy fur. If it was up to me, I would make it illegal to wear fur, there is nothing wrong with fake fur and buying real fur only encourages these fur farms to continue business. I think it is great that you started this discussion because more people need to be made aware of it. I hope that you get a lot of followers in this dicussion so that more people learn the truth about these cruel places.

I know! I absolutely hate fur, and would never ever wear it. And frankly, I can't stand people who do. Hopefully when they see the abuse animals go through for their fur coat, they'll stop supporting it! Thanks!

It's heartbreaking that people can regard aniamsl like that. I am very much an animal lover, and I have written quite a bit about this kind of animal "farming." There are just so many things people do that are wrong. Fur Farming is one among many- factory farming, puppy mills, animal freak shows/circues, etc.

I know! I can't believe how anyone could ever do any kind of harm to an animal. Puppy mills are awful too! I wish I had the money and resources to save all these animals!! I'd do it in a heartbeat!
