Dog Fur Found In Many Popular Clothing Brands
Posted by admin | Under Pet Clothing Wednesday Nov 18, 2009
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.

omg the other day I saw a racoon and I was like WTF it’s a racoon!!!!!!
Raccoon DOG fur is …
Raccoon DOG fur is NOT domesticated dog fur. Its no different to other wild animals that people use for fur.
Have you ever …
Have you ever visited horse slaughtergouses in the US? Leatherhosues in Mexico? Have you ever visited slaughterhouses in NC? Veal slaughterhouses? LAYER HEN HOUSES? The west is not far behind them. These jobs have the highest turneover rates in the US..the animals are treated the same as the ones in this video.
I do this for a living. For barely any pay, as an NPO activist. It is what I dedicate my life to. I think I know what I am talking about…
“We are no …
“We are no different”? are you mad? did you even watch the same video?
at least the north …
at least the north american indians kill humanely……and they hold entire rituals devoted to the animals they kill…..they RESPECT the sacrifice of the individual animal.
Today we use animals as if they are oxygen….they are just “always there”– we use them but dont really think about it; we disregard the fact that they feel frightened, alone, happy, compassionate. It is a sad world when we have such power yet cannot use the moral compass that sets us apart from all other species.
They choose not to …
They choose not to because its much more time consuming, and (at times) more costly to them. They slaughter SO many animals that if they were to take the time out to kill each one, it would add up and hurt their industry in the long rung.
It is interesting that you call them barbaric…because we westerners are no different. Our factory farms abuse animals to the very same caliber–scalding livestock alive, beating them for no reason, dragging veal calfs by their horns because we can…

that part at 0:44 where he slaps the canine for no reason after baggin him, oh fuck, *sees red*
GOOD IDEA!!!
GOOD IDEA!!!
YES! No more dogs …
YES! No more dogs and cats and raccoon dogs dying from EXTREME pain just so some hole or tricked animal carer can wear it.
China is fucked! …
China is fucked! It’s odd that the Chinese could kill the dogs before skinning them, but they choose not to. They are barbaric and medieval and need the same treatment. They put chemicals in milk, they contaminate toys with lead. They are a disgraceful exporter, and we should stop buying their products!

China is a sick society for allowing this torture of animals for fun and profit. We should stop importing their toxic crap.
peta kills plenty …
peta kills plenty of animals why dont they donate there fur for jackets
Don’t stop at China …
Don’t stop at China for skinning animals – Let’s get our self righteous up and get Russians, Icelanders, North American Indians and Eskimos for harvesting fur. In fact let’s go after every tannery we can find in the world that uses hides of sheep, deer, lambs, and cows for jackets, shoes and handbags. The Italians and the French have to be right up there.
Let’s kill’em all. But before we do, let’s take inventory of our leather jackets, shoes, down comforters, and wool sweaters first.
I think that what …
I think that what goes around comes around. If u dont get what is coming to u in this life then what out mother f**ker u will get it in the next life. Watch out what confucius say.

Just walked in Moda di Romani where they sell Icebergcoats with fur trims that look very much like raccoondogfur. I told them that but they had a hard time believing it.
They didn’t like the idea that it could be dogfur and we watched the labels from the Iceberg coats and they are all made in China.
They sell Babyphat also.
what the fuck!!!!!! …
what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!
The Humance Society …
The Humance Society website also states that BabyPhat, Roca Wear among other designers have used dog fur. Dog/cat fur is sold also in Bloomindales, Dillards, Macy’s among other retailers. Any animal lover has no words aside from anger/rage and sadness when we see these videos. Even a patch of fur on gloves or boots contributes to the abuse of animal cruelty. We must SPREAD the awareness to our friends and let them now that a “FAUX FUR” label is just a front to a horrific practice!!
