Fur labeling and your right to know

Consumers have a right to know. Unfortunately, the fur industry is banking on your ignorance. And retailers including Bloomingdale's and Bergdorf Goodman are flouting the law. Get the facts about fur trim and deceptive fur labeling in this video from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). An HSUS undercover investigation a few years ago demonstrated that major retailers were selling items trimmed in fur from the raccoon dog from China, a major exporter of fur destined for the United States and a place of horrific torture of fur-bearing animals. Raccoon dogs often are skinned alive.
