Tibetan villagers in the Yunnan province are celebrating the Lunar New Year by burning their animal furs in response to an appeal by HH the Dalai Lama. Many Tibetans heard his appeal to stop wearing animal skins via Tibetan radio broadcasts from overseas. They risk reprisal from the authorities who regard such actions as contrary to government policy. The furs are regarded as rare and valuable family possessions.
