What if there was a human skin trade?

Roughly 100 million humans are raised and killed for their skin every year. These humans live in misery. Only 20 countries in the world have laws to limit or regulate the practice of skin trade. Humans kept in skin farms don’t receive even the bare minimum of humane care. Their hands and feet are full of sores from their cage bars, never seeing the sun, never breathing fresh air. They are barely kept alive by the food they receive and are infested with parasites.

These living conditions lead to physical mutations and mental disorders. Humans kept in skins farms have sometimes turned to cannibalism to make more room. Then they are brutally drowned, poisoned, gassed, or electrocuted before they are even one year old. Each of these procedures preserve the skin but they do not spare the human from pain. Sometimes they are skinned alive. Skin trade destroys our air with carbon emissions and ammonia that spread diseases.

Humans need their skin more than we do.

Stop the skin trade.
