A lot of faux fur is actually real fur. According to the Humane Society, "Millions of dogs and cats are slaughtered every year for the [Chinese] fur trade" which supplies more than half of the fur garments imported for sale into the United States. Dog and cat fur is deliberately mislabeled as fur from other species so that it can be sold to unsuspecting Americans. Everyone from Martha Stewart to Paul McCartney has denounced this fur, including some of the largest clothing retailers. J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Abercrombie and Fitch, and U.K.'s most highly respected fashion chain Topshop, have all stopped selling fur after seeing the Fur Trade videos. This is not an issue that concerns only animal rights advocates. Everyone should boycott fur. And boycott faux fur too, just to be sure. Besides, fur is so ugly. Reminds me of my old granny getting dressed for her weekly bingo game...mink coat and all. YUCK!
