What do cats and pigs have in common?<\/font><\/p>\n

Answer: Both are used to make LEATHER!<\/big><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Leather can be made from:<\/b>
(just to name a few)<\/p>\n

*Cows
*Pigs
*Goats
*Sheep
*Alligators
*Ostriches
*Kangaroos
*Horses
*Zebra
*Bison
*Buffalo
*Elephants
*Snakes
*Dolphins
*Dogs
*Cats<\/p>\n

Yes, DOGS<\/b><\/i> and CATS<\/b><\/i> are slaughtered for their meat and skins in China (China exports their skins around the world). *Since leather is normally not labeled, you never really know where (or whom) it came from.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

Most
\n leather comes from developing countries like India and China, where
\nanimal welfare laws are either non-existent or not enforced. <\/p>\n

Many
\n of the millions of cows and other animals who are killed for their skin
\n endure the horrors of factory farming\u2014Along with extreme crowding and
\ndeprivation, the animals must go through a series of painful procedures.<\/p>\n

<\/b>ALL THE FOLLOWING ARE DONE WITHOUT ANY PAINKILLER:<\/b><\/p>\n

*castration
*branding
*tail-docking
*dehorning
*and even skinning the animal alive!<\/p>\n

InIndia,
\n a PETA investigation found that cows have their tails broken and chili
\npeppers and tobacco rubbed into their eyes in order to force them to get
\n up and walk after they collapse from exhaustion on the way to the
\nslaughterhouse. At slaughterhouses, animals routinely have their throats
\n slit and are skinned and dismembered while they are still conscious
\nafter improper stunning.<\/p>\n

Most of the millions ofanimals
\nslaughtered for their skin endure the horrors of factory farming before
\nbeing shipped to slaughter, where many are skinned alive. Buying leather
\n directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses since skin is
\n the most economically important byproductof the meat-packing industry. *Leather
\n is also no friend of the environment since it shares all the
\nenvironmental destruction ofthe meat industry, in addition to the toxins
\n used in tanning<\/big><\/i><\/p>\n

With every pair of leather shoes that
\nyou buy, you sentence an animal to alifetime of suffering. Instead, you
\ncan choose from hundreds of styles of nonleather shoes, clothing, belts,
\n bags, and wallets. Fashion shouldbe fun, not fatal! Read more about the cruelty of the leather industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
