If you haven't turned on your TV lately and are wearing a "fake fur" coat, I suggest you turn on your set. "Fake" fur coats may very well be made using dog fur, possibly even cat fur. The news reported states Raccoon Dogs are being used to keep us warm around the collar. Raccoon Dogs are not raccoons but canines that resemble raccoons (picture above). China exports the fur used for fake fur coats, as well as a few other companies. Sonmeof the animals are domestic dogs, such as German Sheperds. Some have alledged that many animals are household pets that have been stolen for the fur trade. Below are some websites of interest. BEWARE one site (Voice4Dogs) has extremely graphic pictures to show the consumer just how inhumane these these animals are killed; slaughtered and skinned while still alive. Go hug your pooch. Pictured is one of the coats made from the dog fur distributed by JC Penney.
