stall at Terracotta Warriors, Xian

selling dog and cat pelts. Classy.

Sept 2013.
I hope nobody from the UK organisation 'Cats Protection League' or similar charities, ever goes visiting there...
 
the cat skins are neck ruffs, neck warmers, whatever they're called. You put them round your neck to keep warm. There's a clip in the head section for attaching to the tail section to keep it in place.
 
My daughter when 4, once remarked as I was skinning a cat, "cats are yucky on the inside"

What a charming idea.....:)

I'll bet these cats are specially bred on 'cat farms' for the purpose and not just strays caught/rounded up. They are all too similar-looking with the attractive longhaired coats and interesting colours/particolours.

Ooh look, and they've left the little collars on -- 'Mr Frisky' (with apologies to Blackadder -- will explain for non-Brits if necessary
 
a modern take on the old fox fur wrap I supose. I just hope they didn't suffer .
 
Genuine point, rather than an attempt to stir up trouble: in what ways is this any different from a freezer full of frozen mince and chops in the local branch of Tesco?

To help you with the discussion, maybe another analogy would be to compare the pelts to leather goods that we buy. In the west, "genuine leather" is a great selling point. Also, I can buy kangaroo pelts in many Australian souvenir stores, and those kangaroos (though plentiful) were wild and undomesticated.
