China have no laws against the mistreatment of animals and using methods above for business and financial gain. Boycotting the goods is a way in which we can help curb this awful act and show them that it will not be tolerated. Products made from animal fur in countries such as China need to be banned from entering and being sold within other countries around the world. They won't make what they can't ship and sell abroad. Acts above are carried out in order to get fur for cheap items that are routinely sold in stores and on websites such as eBay.

It takes literally seconds to sign up. Every signature counts. Post links to Facebook and Twitter.

I agree with the notion of trying to buy everything you wear and consume locally; however, the vast majority of goods sold in the U.S. is made in China. To boycott goods made in China, you would probably have to give up your iPhone, flat screen televisions, computers and probably 85% of your clothes. I feel good when I happen to see a tag in my closet that says "Made in USA," which was actually quite common 30 years ago. Look for the union label, right?

That being said, I am not sure why you are singling out China over their methods of harvesting animals for fur. Isn't it all decidedly barbaric, regardless of where it is conducted? Is there a such thing as humane fur? Shouldn't we all, as an evolved society, try to move away from relying on animals for food and clothing?
