Python abuse alleged at supplier of snakeskins used for Gucci handbags

PETA investigators visited Sisatchanalai Python Farm in Sukhothai, Thailand, and Closed-Cycle Breeding International, in Thailand’s Uttaradit province from February through November of last year. Pythons are bashed with hammers, impaled on hooks and skinned alive to provide skins used by French luxury brand Gucci to craft handbags, shoes and belts that sell for hundreds if not thousands of dollars, according to their investigation.
