Dog and Cat Leather in 60 Seconds
"Did you know that dogs and cats are killed for leather?
In China, dogs and cats are stolen from the streets, beaten, and sometimes skinned alive. Their skin will be turned into leather gloves, belts, jacket collar trim, cat toys, and other items. Products made from cat and dog leather are exported from China and end up sold throughout the world to unsuspecting customers. So if you buy leather, remember: There's no easy way to tell whose skin you're really in.

Some dogs fell unconscious, while others cried out and writhed in agony. Some still struggled to breathe after their throats were cut. Finally, their skin was ripped right off their bodies."
