The BBC's Six O'clock News recently broadcast a secretly taped film of animals being abused and killed for their fur at Guangzhou's Fur Market - the main centre for China's cat and dog fur exports. The hidden camera footage was filmed by the People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) and shows 'extreme scenes on animal torture: Dogs and cats are thrown from the top deck of a bus onto the concrete pavement breaking their legs. In another piece of footage, cats are seen squirming inside a sack before being thrown into a vat of boiling water. Sadistic, smiling, laughing workers are also filmed beating the animals to death.
