Okay I believe this.
Though it is less efficient to skin an animal live and its easy to see how it would ruin the coat if you are trying to remove it from a living animal whom is moving

I'd like to point out that those five talking points come verbatim from a website that is operated by fur industry money (it's a huge business). There's dozens of sites saying the same things all citing big fur. They've made it illegal to investigate things like animal cruelty on fur and other farms

Live animals produce better pelts than dead ones. The skin is the largest organ on the body. When skin has not been getting blood flow you're going to get shittier hides. There's incentives to skinning alive. Doesn't mean the animals are fully awake and active. They're stunned then skinned alive.

Mink, a commonly farmed fur animal, are rectally electrocuted before being skinned. That's for animals that are not gassed, beaten, or stomped to submission Many remain alive after that treatment and with their skin cut off. That's not close to humane

Fur farming had been banned in my many countries for good reason. Suffering for fashion
