Take Action for Truth in Fur Labeling

U.S. law allows clothing designers and retailers to omit, on their labels, any mention of animal fur on fur-trimmed jackets. They are even allowed to dye real fur to make it look fake, and sell it without mentioning on the label that it is real fur.

And "Asiatic raccoon" on a garment label means that the fur is really from a raccoon dog who may have been skinned alive.

Consumers deserve to know if animal fur is on a garment, and the real name of the animal. Fortunately, legislation (H.R. 891/S. 3610) has been introduced in Congress to protect consumers and improve fur labeling laws.
 
TAKE ACTION

Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators to urge them to support and co-sponsor H.R. 891/S. 3610. You can reach your federal by calling the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.

After making your phone calls, please fill in and submit the form linked to this email to automatically send a follow-up email to your federal legislators urging support for legislation on fur labeling. Make your message even more effective by putting it into your own words.

dear [Decision Maker],

Please co-sponsor H.R. 891/S. 3610 to protect consumers and improve fur labeling laws.

This legislation would close a loophole that lets some animal fur go unlabeled, and would also help protect consumers from being duped into buying fur from the raccoon dog, a member of the dog family killed in large numbers in China by brutal methods including being skinned alive.
Dog fur is being sold in the United States on fur jackets that are not labeled. Dog fur is also being sold as faux fur.

Raccoon dog fur is being sold nationwide on jackets that are not labeled. Raccoon dog fur is also being sold as faux fur, raccoon fur, or coyote fur. 

Approximately one out of seven fur products sold in the United States are not required to have a label that tells consumers that they are buying real fur, the species, or the country the animal was killed in.

Consumers have a right to know what they are purchasing.

Again, please support and co-sponsor H.R. 891/S. 3610 to protect consumers and improve fur labeling laws.
