Ask T J Maxx to stop selling dog fur from China

Target:
T J Maxx and Marshalls
T.J. Maxx, we love shopping at your stores, but we do not love products from China with fur.  The thought of skinning  puppies, cats and rabbits, foxes or any other animal alive is inexcusable and  deplorable especially   for the sake of fashion but that is the way  the Chinese fur trade is operated. They say it's done to get a more perfect ''cut''. Afterwords the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies little paws still shaking. The undercover film says it all.  We expect our retailers to adhere to a higher standard by not buying these products.
http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp
Please sign this petition, call or write your local retailers and demand they not offer these products for sale in the future.  we stop this trade with our voices and our pocket books. T. J. Maxx is not alone (even Neiman Marcus is guilty   with their $1500 Manolo Blahnik boots which were labeled as natural ocelot fur trim on top, relabeled as Ocelot-printed boots, now called Dyed ocelot-print goat fur trim) and all their made in China furs.   FYI: Ocelot is endangered. In many Asian countries without laws to protect them,  ordinary house cats are warehoused & slaughtered; breeds such as the Bengal, Spangled, Egyptian Mau and Ocicat are all used for their leopard-like skins.  Buyers should avoid obscurely labeled furs, those of questionable origin and Asian-made fur garments for this reason. Please read the labels and let the vendors know you do not want these products. Tell your friends. Tell T J Maxx.  Tell other vendors. Do it now.  Thanks for participating.  We can make it a better world.

How can a country be so cruel to tiny, self defenseless little puppies. Doing that is absolutely barbaric!

The EU has outlawed the importation of these Chinese 'fur' products since 2007. As a business owner with an extensive email list I will use this to spread the word about retailers who sell these products and contribute to this abomination. Not wasting skins and fur of animals who are killed without cruelty as a side to the meat industry is one thing. China continues to send us their poisonous commodities and fails to regulate and police their exports - toothpaste tainted with anti-freeze, toxic sheetrock and concrete products, and now this horror show. I can't wait to find out my audio system has been slowly poisoning the air in my home or some other surprise from China . ...land of merchant greed and corruption. Until their government gives a damn about their commodities I'll go out of my way to avoid as many of their products as possible. Fortunately, we have no TJ Maxx stores in Alaska!

Dear TJ Max--is profit so important to you that you can choose to look the other way --helping to continue the torture and slaughter of these animals? I would imagine that if the tags on these items said it was real fur, what animal it came from, and how it was obtained--your company would be out of business.

I have boycotted WalMart for years but have shopped at TJX and Marshalls. I can easily boycott your stores as well.
