Petition: China – Cows skinned alive for leather, have their limbs cut off to prevent movement!
The image above is a true statement from the fashion industry: in this sector, cruelty has no limits. Every time you buy a fashion item made from leather – be it a trendy handbag, a piece of comfortable shoes – please think about the tremendous cruelty that stands at the foundation of that product. This petition targets both the Chinese government – who has repeatedly failed to adopt animal welfare laws and has allowed this industry to thrive – as well as consumers worldwide, to take the pledge to go cruel-free and stop purchasing leather products. Please support the campaign and sign / share the petition now!
The shocking image attached to this petition was taken in China, where countless cows are skinned alive for their leather. Their pain can hardly be described in words. In order to prevent these gentle creatures from escaping, often these beautiful animals have their limbs cut off; on other occasions, cows tails’ are often broken and a special powder is sprayed into their eyes, in order to force them to walk to the nearest abattoir (which could be miles away).
Please take the pledge to stop buying leather products and sign the petition today. Consider opting for animal-friendly fashion items. A growing number of designers and fashion companies are offering items made from vegan leather, quality materials that do not harm animals or the planet.
In addition, we hereby urge the Chinese government to take serious action against this outrageous cruelty and enforce animal protection laws that would strictly regulate this industry and will put a stop to this inhumanity as soon as possible. No animal deserves to be treated this way in the name of fashion, no matter what the circumstances are.

Leave the animals alone stop torturing~!!!
Sickening! Horrific cruel heartless
Do the same to those people. Shameless torture
It’s not so hard to give up leather. I did years ago. There are so many substitutes. I prefer canvas type things. And if you must buy leather for work boots, etc, consider buying used, or at least repairing the old ones. I thank you, and the cows certainly do.
Stop animal cruelty
Oh my god I cannot believe people can do this – what the hell is wrong with them
Brutal hidious monsters painfully making these innocent cows suffer immensely!!
I detest such outrageous brutally !!
Almost can’t believe people can do this! How heartless!!
Even if you do not agree that we should not use animals if you are a decent human being then you know in your heart torture has no place in a civilized Humane world. I thought we were out of the Dark Ages apparently China is way behind and continues to teach its people that this kind of behavior is okay.
Sick, and have no respect for anything, we need to quit doing trade with them, if it means this.
Just when you can’t get any worse…this. I can’t imagine the suffering that they are inflicting.
evil act of cruelty
Ive never seen an evil like this !!! May God punish your crooked ways devil !!!

Animals are sacred…! Godless People, no heart, no feeling, no compassion with precious beings!
