De la fourrure suspecte?

Have You Bought Suspicious Fur?

For years, the clothing manufacturing and retail industries have deceived consumers by selling fur-trimmed garments falsely advertised or labeled as faux fur or raccoon or coyote fur, when in fact, the fur is actually from raccoon dog, domestic dog, rabbit, or some other species. Have you been a victim of incorrect labeling or advertising?

This winter we found seven different styles of jackets that were described as having faux fur, when in fact it was real fur. This shocking misrepresentation doesn't just take away your right to be informed -- it makes you an unwitting party to the cruelty of the fur industry, which raises furbearing animals in wretched cages and kills them in horrific ways.

If you think you have purchased a deceptively advertised or labeled fur-trimmed garment, please tell me your story. I need your help to shut down this widespread industry practice!

Thank you for all you do for animals.

Certain jackets sold by these companies with the brand names Burberry, Andrew Marc, Marc New York, Preston & York, Aqua, Ramosport and Adam+Eve were found to be falsely advertised or mislabeled as faux fur or "ecological" fur* when in fact they are trimmed with real animal fur.

"Shoppers should be outraged that companies continue to sell as 'faux' what is actually real fur, perhaps from animals skinned alive in China," said Kristin Leppert, director of The HSUS's fur-free campaign. "Congress and the Federal Trade Commission need to take swift action to protect
