SINGAPORE — Luxury items like bags, belt and other clothing are essential to most rich people whatever the cost – even if it means sacrificing lives of millions of animals. A reptile expert from Singapore Zoo explained that just to meet fashion industry demands, people cruelly kill animals for their leather, fur and wool, just to name a few. Snake is just one of the animals being hunted and killed for its skin – all in the name of fashion. — Video by AJ BolandoEditor's note: The tour to Singapore was hosted by Singapore Tourism Board to promote tourism in the area. At no stage does the host organization have a say on the stories generated from the coverage, interviews conducted, publication date and story treatment.
