Freshly skinned mink pelts lay in a box awaiting further processing at a plant in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China on December 2, 2008. The mink is the most commonly farmed animal for its fur with China ranked as the largest importer and re-exporter of fur in the world. China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States. Photo by Simon Lim/Pictobank/ABACAPRESS.COM
