This is a cat skin rug for sale by a China-based cat skin supplier. This product, featured on Alibaba.com, was a single click away from Google’s home page, via a contextual ad for “cat skin.” The quantities of this kind of cat fur is clearly increasing in China, as more and more online shops offer [...]

Right now, the advertising of skins of dogs and cats have and continue to profit Google. These dog and cat skins come almost exclusively from a country, China, where it is perfectly legal and common to skin animals alive for their fur. I cannot believe that the vast majority of Google’s employees, managers and stockholders [...]

THIS advertiser is selling CAT SKIN on their website. (as of Feb1, 2009 – the date of this screen capture) they  are still advertising on Google’s search pages,  and word “cat” appears in English at least twice on their home page list of products.)
