Okay, a lot of you don't like fakes, but ladies beware- your fake juicy jackets with real fur and low low prices may be real fur from cats or dogs!
Please do your research on this- the old adage- if it seems too good to be true, it is? Recent investigator have even found surprisingly soft "fake fur" to actually be real dog fur.
If you don't want to wear dog or cat, beware, wearing a pet is in my eyes a true problem, a lot bigger problem than deciding if the item is truly designer or not. Please, be aware and be kind.
Over two million dogs and cats are killed in China and South East Asia every year to supply the fur trade.

Doing my research I just found out that the super soft real seeming cat or puppy in the basket toys sold at mall kiosks are often unmarked cat fur!

From what I can find, it is legal to sell dog and cat fur in canada and it doesn't have to be marked.
Please support the humane society and please think before you buy.
