=========================
>From the above website comes this:

"The Beijing to Lhasa railway opens in 2006, the year of the dog; as in 
every other year in China, over two million dogs and cats will be skinned 
alive to supply the fur trade."

Is there any evidence to back up this horrible claim about skinning animals 
alive?
It's reminiscent of some of the more lurid claims of organ selling in China.
