The Shangcun Market in Hebei, China covers 60 percent of the Chinese fur market. The various animal species in this market are killed by great torture. Their heads are being hit to the ground to paralyze... They are then skinned alive and left to death in great pain and shock!
The animals are kept in cages that are 70*35 cm through all their lives.
February to March is the mating period, in April and May the females give birth and suckle the cubs. When the young are six or seven months old they are ready to be sold. By then, their fur is thick and luxuriant and they can fetch a good price.
City people like to eat raccoon dog meat. The fur can be processed into clothing and exported.
