China pledges to stop cat and dog fur trade

The animal cruelty video that makes Heather Mills McCartney cry has finally triggered a Chinese government pledge to stamp out the trade in cat and dog fur

-Miss Mills McCartney recently admitted that the horrific footage of cats and dogs being rounded up and skinned alive - to save the cost of humane killing - brings tears every time she sees it.

-Now Scottish Conservative Euro MP Struan Stevenson, who has worked closely with Miss Mills McCartney on the campaign, has been assured by senior Chinese government officials that they are just as horrified and will act to end the practice.

-The Humane Society International helped exposed the business, revealing evidence of a thriving cat and dog fur trade in many European countries including France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
