I have been following this kind of thing for over a year now after seeing a BBC documentary about the cat and dog fur trade in China, and also the meat trade. It is downright disgusting, and the way the animals are treated is just plain sick. Skinned alive, beaten because it makes the meat taste better.
In this day and age there is no justice and there is no reason for humans to behave this way, we have the freedom of will and choice, this is what makes us different from animals 'I do it because I choose to'.
The more this is known internationally the better, there is now the EU ban on Cat and Dog fur, and hopefully the meat trade will soon begin to be noticed and suffer too.
If you'd all seen what I saw on the documentary you would've wanted to kill yourselves, it's despicable.

I recall watching a special years ago and the investigator had to pretend that he was interested in buying the furs of all these dead cats. When he walked into the warehouse, he wasn't prepared for what he saw. Neither was I and I was only watching it on TV! He said that he didn't know how he kept the look of shock and disgust off his face but he had to, otherwise the investigation would've been jeopardized. I would've passed out.

the story is about a wonderful woman, but FYI it's a bit hard to read in parts
