Dog Fur Found In Many Popular Clothing Brands

Results of recent tests carried out by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reveal that many well-known clothes brands contain fur from dogs and other domestic animals.
The HSUS conducted mass spectrometry tests on a range of fur-trimmed jackets ? from retailers such as Burlington Coat Factory, Bloomingdale's, J.C. Penney, Macy's, and Saks Fifth Avenue, and from designers and clothing lines such as Baby Phat, Andrew Marc, MaxMara, and Calvin Klein - and revealed that most of the jackets labeled as "raccoon" or "coyote" from China in fact contain fur from raccoon dogs. Of the ten garments tested by The HSUS, nine tested positive as raccoon dog fur and were mislabeled, a violation of federal law.
Due to the lack of animal welfare laws and prevalence of garment factories, China currently ranks as the leading exporter of fur and supplies half of all of the fur products that enter the United States for sale. Animals documented being raised and killed in China include dogs, cats, foxes, mink, and, of particular note, raccoon dogs, a species of canine whose fur resembles raccoon.

Cruel fuckers. The only thing with 4 legs they wont eat is a table. Not fucking convinced there either! The way they kill things slowly so their blood is running/adrenelin is fucking mythological too. Good! makes you strong like a lion. Go fuck off. Mate of mine took powdered rhino horn. Killed himself butting a Land Rover! Then they skinned him cooked him and ate the poor fucker. Nuke the twats.

It is sickening to see the torture abd abuse those poor raccoon dogs go through while being skinned alive.That should be banned.

We are so dependant upon on China as it is for toys and electronics as it is seriously. Why do big name and big shot celebs keep helping them by buying fur that is taken in such a inhuman way? When are celebs gonna realize that just because they are saving themselves some money by buying over seas animals are the ones that suffer the most. These "people" if u can call them that dont deserve any business of ours at all. They are disugusting and evil to treat anything like this.

i'd like to see how those fucking pigs who skin animals like that would feel if they got skinned alive themselves, just imagine the reaction from everyone around the world if we were wearing human skin? (yes a bit out there) why can't people have the same respect for animals

@asianoutcast87 I absolutely agree -- I said that once to an acquaintance and was badly scolded for not knowing the difference. She said "Well, you are obviously not a dog person or have never had a dog who meant a lot to you!" And she walked out on me. Wow! All I was doing was sticking up for all animals equally. But it sucks when you see a video like this and realize that the words "faux fur" on a label can be an outright lie.

Why the F**K would someone wear fur period?!?

[davisotj1]

@debi5058 what does that do other than have those ruined jackets taken off the shelf and replaced with more clean ones, thus using more fur?

[Lovinight]

WE do not deserve to live among animals, period!

[VirtualLegos]

Why the fuck are you spamming my forum for your fucking bastard! I'm reporting your scam ass hole!

[yisikah]

To those blaming asia, also realise europe+US that makes it so high fashion to wear fur. but this isnt a racial arument. if we are gonna band together to stop animal cruelty, we need to see This is humanity against the market and corporate greed. Supply will sputter out without demand FROM ALL COUNTRIES stopping. we are all one world and one voice capable of massive change if we have as much love for our neighbor as we do for the animals and ourselves

When I see a fur coat in a store, I secretly damage it. A little red lipstick, hand lotion or gum...
