In my local newspaper today it states that the humane society of the U.S. said it purchased coats from Nordstrom, Andrew Marc, Tommy H and more and found that they were trimmed with fur from domestic dogs. Even though the fur was avertized as fake. Most comes from China although the racoon dog fur comes from Finland. The raccoon dogs (These look like oversized, fluffy raccoons) are killed routinely by stomping them, beating them, or skinning them alive. Video posted on the internet from Swiss Animal Protection shows dogs clubbed or slammed on the ground some writhing, gasping and blinking as they are skinned alive. Besides buying NOTHING with anything that even closely resembles fur what else can we do? There must be something that we can do. Any ideas?
