Name: Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2009 Number: H.R. 2480and S. 1076Call for Action:Contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and ask them to support the speedy passage of this bill.
    The
Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2009 would close a loophole in current law
that allows dog and cat fur valued under $250 to be used in clothes
without any labeling.

This bill seeks to close that loophole by
requiring the labeling of all fur regardless of the quantity used.
In
addition, this bill would clearly include raccoon dogs in the
prohibition against the use of dog fur.

The status of raccoon dogs has
been contested by fur dealers who claim that raccoon dogs are a
different species of animal and that the sale of their fur should be
permitted. This bill would also give individual states the authority to
enact more restrictive laws if they choose.
