Eww.
A story from Yahoo News:
Some coats may have fur from dogs[*1]
The Humane Society of the United States said it purchased coats from reputable outlets, such as upscale Nordstrom, with designer labels — Andrew Marc, Tommy Hilfiger, for example — and found them trimmed with fur from domestic dogs, even though the fur was advertised as fake.
“It’s an industrywide deception,” said Kristin Leppert, the head of the Human Society’s anti-fur campaign.
The solution is obvious. Buy your fur coats from Wal-Mart. They might still be dog, but you’ll at least have some comfort in knowing that the meat didn’t go to waste.
Yeah, that was completely uncalled-for. Sorry.
