Was blood shed for your diamond, your fur and your cocaine? Warning! graphic content

Undercover investigators from Swiss Animal Protection/EAST International recently toured fur farms in China's Hebei Province, and it quickly became clear why outsiders are banned from visiting. There are no regulations governing fur farms in China—farmers can house and slaughter animals however they see fit—meaning miserable lives and excruciating deaths. The investigators found horrors beyond their worst imaginings and concluded, "Conditions on Chinese fur farms make a mockery of the most elementary animal welfare standards. In their lives and their unspeakable deaths, these animals have been denied even the simplest acts of kindness."

WHEN celebrities such as Amy Winehouse hoover up their next line of cocaine, the name Juarez will not cross their minds.

But Mexico’s ruthless and deadly Juarez drug cartel is the world’s most powerful organised crime syndicate.

The gang is largely responsible for the current torrent of coke entering Europe from South America and is also behind the murders of thousands of police and government officials in Mexico.

Campaigners there also claim the growing number of British cocaine users are fueling the mass torture, rape and killing of dozens of innocent young women in the group’s home city, Ciudad Juarez.

The Juarez cartel is renowned for its grisly initiation ceremonies, in which innocent women and girls from Ciudad Juarez are raped and mutilated.

New tactics for spreading terror have included storming nightclubs to throw decapitated HEADS on to the dancefloor.

The Mexican city borders the US and is now in the grip of a bloodbath as drug lords from the Juarez and rival Sinaloa cartel battle to control the world’s lucrative cocaine smuggling routes, including gaining control of European markets.
