"Animals are skinned alive in China, because it's cheaper than to kill them humanely,"

I'm calling bs on that one. Ever tried to clip your cat's nails?

And a knife through the back of the skull doesn't cost a cent and is very humane.

I agree. My BS detector is buzzing big time. Anyone that has ever skinned anything know this is a foolish notion.

BTW - I have a two cats. They are 3 years old and one of them has yet to have her nails clipped. I can't imagine skinning a live mink. The first aid bill alone would be more than the pelt.
