Protect Raccoon Dogs - Stop Deceptive Labeling of "Faux" Fur!
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: Care2.com
A startling investigation shows that 80 percent of jackets mislabeled as faux fur contain raccoon dog fur (learn more). U.S. law prohibits the import and sale of dog and cat fur products – but the law does not protect raccoon dogs, nor does it require labeling products with fur valued under $150.
Wild raccoon dogs are members of the canine family native to dense woodlands and forests of Asia, but they are domesticated in China primarily for their fur. Undercover video footage shows gruesome methods used, such as skinning them alive. Estimates of how many raccoon dogs are killed each year range from 1.5 million to 4 million.
Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Mike Ferguson (R-N.J.) have introduced the Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Act (H.R. 891), a bill that would protect raccoon dogs and require the labeling of all fur products, thus closing the loophole that has allowed the deceptive marketing of real fur as "faux" fur.
Please urge your Representative to help close this loophole by cosponsoring the Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Act now!
First off, mislabeling can be hazardous to anyone buying or going near the products with allergies or other conditions. This is cruel and a horrible thing to do to such beautiful creatures. Deception is not the right thing to do.
i watched a video of this horrific animal murder online, this animal suffers one of the most excrutiating deaths possible. imagine being beaten and skinned alive just for fashion,this is outragious.
It is the most cruel industry, the horrible suffer of the tortured animals in order to look good. I find it almost as horrible as torturing human beings. The second reason is our humanity. What kind of world we live in and leave to our children. It doesn't stop there. People who are able to such deeds will not hesitate to do the same to your children.
I think it's really horrible

It's important to ban all fur. Animals do not have to suffer for clothes, i think.
I'm sorry, my english is not good. I'm very angry!! STOP to kill this animals!!! I'll not buy a coat with skin of the raccoon dog!! I'll tell my friends about this.
Respect for all animals en their environment!

I think nobody should wear fur at all. Stop the cruel breeding, torture and killing of animals. They know fear and pain as we do. "We measure humanity in the way we treat animals".
