Dog pelts being sold as wolf pelts I can believe. Pelts from strays is a maybe, the quality would be poor, but maybe portions would be suitable for hood and cuff trim. Skinning them alive while drugged is just stoopid Peta BS. Drugs cost more than bullets, clubs or throat slitting.
But the people who will believe this tripe can't think their way out of a wet paper bag and won't want the realities explained to them anyway.
