Can you explain?

I was under the impression that it was actually known that Chinese Raccoon are often skinned alive to the hair clings better to the hide. Perhaps I am grossly misinformed. I don't give PETA much credibility but that video seemed damning.
As far as I've seen, the only proof of this practice is from a single farm, doesn't really make any sense for them to be purposefully bloodying the pelts (also, the way PETA slants it, all fur farms of all species must use this same practice because some sadistic ass was videotaped doing it)

Just a quick heads-up that Eddie Bauer is having a 40% off in-store sale on everything today, making these Thorogood Moc Toe boots only $60 after the discount! http://www.eddiebauer.com/catalog/p...ategoryId=1~~gpCategoryName=EB&viewAll=y&pg=1

They're a great pair of boots at full retail, at this price they're a friggin' steal. They also have a couple other pairs of Wolverines and Merrel's that may be of interest at these sale prices. Clarks Original DB's too, $60 after the discount.

Good price - I've got a pair in black and they're very well made.

I'm considering this Bexley Enfield as a winter boot, other alternatives are the less dressy Katahdins.

Will this kind of thin leather hold up to moisture?
I love high polished captoes, will polish be enough to make the leather resistant to salt and grime? (As I have read that Obenauf dulls the shine, but perhaps you can obenauf everything but the cap and still get the high gloss?)
