Some animals and skinned while they are still alive, wild animals are trapped in such a way the wire cuts down to their bone and they could be left there for days before they are collected... I could go on but it sickens me to be honest. There are so many brilliant fake furs around, why someone would want to wear real fur mystifies me.
