Unfortunately, in a fur trading company in Asia, there are places that slaughter dogs and cats for their fur, passing it off as rabbit fur, or just not labeling it at all. These animals are treated cruelly and suffer until they are murdered by selfish ignorant killers Practically all animals that have fur are used to make fur coats. Its terrible, most of the time, the animals are breed and raised in mink farms, where they are kept and then murdered for there fur. They even keep animals that are not natural to that environment EX: Arctic foxes in 90 degree weather in California. I don't see how anyone could be so cruel, please don't support fur companies.
