Is Your Faux Fur Really Dog?

Is it fur or is it fake? We went undercover with hidden cameras looking for fur-free fashions. But no matter what some of the salespeople said, we looked inside. You won't believe some of the things we found.

it is disgusting that there is a fur trade.that humans find the need to kill innocent animals to wear thier skin.
but not just dogs and cats die horrible deaths for fur. raccoons, rabbits, fox, mink many others die also.

wearing any kind of fur is barbaric and disgusting and shows the igorance and simple greed and lust for showing off ones wealth.

I disagree Chaz, I love the obviously faux fur and it is this fashion that should be encouraged. If you have trouble telling it apart then don't buy it. If you find it's real, complain, I do.

“It is hard to fathom that anyone is still wearing fur. It is so plain to see that killing animals for their fur is completely barbaric. The only purpose is vanity.” ~Joaquin Phoenix

”No one really needs a mink coat in this world ... except minks.” ~ ~Glenda Jackson, 1936-

I do not understand why anyone would want to "look like" they are wearing fur, i.e. faux fur. I have seen the video of the Racoon Dog being skinned alive! http://furisdead.com/

Just the thought of an animal suffering and dieing for my vanity is disturbing! The same goes for sheep skin, leather, suede, feathers, etc.
