More than 95% of fur clothing produced in China is sold to overseas markets, with 80% of fur exports from Hong Kong destined for Europe, the USA and Japan. The countrys expanding product range includes pelts, full coats, fur accessories, such as scarves and hats etc., toys, garment trimmings and even furniture. A random market survey in boutiques and department stores in Switzerland and London discovered fur garments labelled Made in China among top fashion brands. A significant number of animals remain fully conscious during this process. Supremely helpless, they struggle and try to fight back to the very end.
