Shangcun is the epicentre of China’s fur-pelt industry

Shangcun is the rural epicentre of China’s fur

-pelt industry. More than 60% of the

 country’s trade in unprocessed fur is

conducted on the streets and in open-air

 markets of this tiny town about 100

 kilometres south of Beijing. Your so called

 "faux fur" trims could very well be real fur

 from dogs literally skinned alive!
