How are crocodile leather, rabbit fur, and other animal-related products made? Does it involve animal torture?

How are fur coats (real fur), croc handbags, etc. made? How do they obtain the skin of the animals? Does it involve any torture of the animals? Thanks!

It depends entirely on the place where the fur is purchased from. Some places may kill their animals humanely but on the other end of the spectrum some animals in China are literally skinned alive. In that case it does mean animal torture. Even when they are killed humanely the animals are probably kept in the bare minimum conditions to keep them alive with no room to exercise. They are likely to have very unhappy lives.

I would never buy any animal skin products.
