What happens when an animal rights activist armed with a video camera goes into fur salons and tells the employees that animals are sometimes skinned alive for their fur? Watch this video to find out:

For the impatient among you, fast-forward to 5:20 to see the, ahem, fur really start to fly.

If you haven't already done so, post a link to PETA's Chinese fur farm investigation footage (the impetus for the fur salon ambush) on your Facebook page. 'Tis the season for giving people a reason to scratch fur off their Christmas lists.

I think the idea of this experiment was good, but it could've been done more effectively. The experimenter was a bit too confrontational, back off a little and make it a discussion, then bring up the shocking facts once you get them talking. Fur is murder, check it out.

I would love to do that experiment and when the employees tell me "I'm gonna call the police" I'll reply "I am the police".

That guy that said "I'm gonna ruin your holiday" is a complete *** cause he didn't make sense at all.

See how they run when confronted with the truth. Keep up the good work, PETA.

Wow, I officially love this guy. It takes guts and a heart to do what he did and not back down when threatened. All those employees know the truth, they just don't want to face it because they know it's wrong...or because they just don't care and all they do care about it making money on behalf of the suffering of millions of animals. Awesome video, and it WILL make a difference.

Many people are afraid of change. They keep doing things the way they have always been done because that is what they know. This is what amazes me though: how easily we embrace technology such as pcs, ipods, Kindles, and e-mail but when it comes to food and clothing most of us are still in the stone age...

People get mad, defensive, and sometimes react violently when they can't handle hearing the truth and don't want to be accountable for anything. Instead, they would rather ignore it, very sad..

Wow, this guy is awesome! I loved his calm demeanor. I have a lot of admiration for what he did and how he did it.

It takes one person to make a difference! That man in the end knows nothing. all he cares about is money! anyone who has anything to do with fur is selfish and only think of themselves. And thats a sad thing to think about. But Karma will get them. We will eventually win! and animals are going to live a free life! And it all starts with one caring person to go out and do things most people wouldn't!
