The fur industry is one of the world's cruelest, and China is the 
source of most of the world's fur products. In the absence of any 
legislation or government control, animals in the Chinese fur 
industry are subject to the most extreme forms of abuse. 
Investigations of fur farms in China have exposed shocking methods of 
trapping, transportation, confinement and killing. The species being 
used include not only typical sources of fur such as rabbits, foxes, 
minks and raccoons, but also domestic dogs and cats, whose furs are 
often being deliberately mislabeled and exported as fur from other 
species. More than 40 million animals are killed each year for their 
fur.

In protest of China's reluctance to act against the horrific 
treatment of animals in its fur industry, an international day of 
protest will take place on Monday, 13 February 2006 in front of 
Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide. Organizations and 
individuals from all over the world are invited to join this 
initiative. Please pass on the call, join an existing vigil, or 
organize one in your area or country. Wearing black is recommended.
