Young people are the main audience for luxury animal skin coats, but where does the skin come from? Animals like foxes, rabbits and raccoons are killed by the millions each year for their skins, and in China dogs and cats are also being skinned. To obtain undamaged skins, the animals are hanged, crushed or killed through less humane means. While some celebrities promote animal skins, advocacy groups like PETA argue we should respect animal lives and protect endangered species by choosing alternative fabrics like cotton and using artificial skins instead of killing animals unnecessarily for their skin.
