China: let us now kill all the dogs
Send a Message to China
We need 75,000 pledges by March 5! Sign The Pledge Tell Yor Friends I'm writing to follow up on my recent e-mail and to urge you to help stop the suffering of millions of animals on fur farms in China, Europe, and the United States.
Our goal is to, by March 5, sign up 75,000 people to take the pledge to go fur-free. If you haven't already done so, please sign the pledge today, and tell everyone you know about the horrors of the fur trade and urge them to sign the pledge too.

No animal abusers are more callous or arrogant than those in the fur trade. And the horrors that they force innocent animals to endure are unconscionable. What our shocking undercover video footage of Chinese fur farms shows is awful, so please prepare yourself.

All sorts of animals suffer, including raccoons, rabbits, minks, foxes, dogs, and cats. While animals are still alive and struggling desperately, workers flip them on their backs or hang them upside-down by their feet or tails to skin them. In one case, as workers began to cut skin and fur from a dog's leg, her free limbs kicked and writhed. When she struggled too much for the workers to get a clean cut, they threw her to the ground and stomped on her neck and head.
When the fur was finally peeled over her head, her naked and bloody body was thrown onto a heap of carcasses. Some of the animals were still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Before they are skinned, animals are pulled from their cages, slammed against the wall, and thrown to the ground. Workers beat them with metal rods, causing broken bones and convulsions, but not always death. Meanwhile, the other animals watch helplessly from their cages, awaiting their turn.
Please, please, please—help us stop this unimaginable cruelty today:
1 Sign our pledge to never buy or wear any fur.

2 Make a donation and help PETA spread the word about fur to consumers around the world.

3 Send a letter to the Chinese ambassador urging China to enact animal welfare standards to stop the cruel handling and killing of dogs, cats, and other animals in the fur industry.

Chinese officials killed 50,000 dogs the other day. Just walked along the streets and lured them out of their homes and bushes and doghouses using whistles and firecrackers and then clubbed them to death with giant sticks, right there in the residential streets, tossed the bodies into big dump trucks and drove on. It was a particularly horrific scene, seemingly unimaginable in our "enlightened" age, a fully sanctioned slaughter ordered up by the local Chinese government in response to the recent deaths of three local people felled by rabies. Without some sort of action, more people could die, the government deduced. Solution: Kill all the dogs. Problem solved, right? Well, not quite...
