It’s such an exciting time right now. Opening up your bins of spring and summer clothes to line your drawers and hang in your closets and filling them back up with sweaters, heavy thermals, boots, and winter jackets.
As you go through those puffer coats and parkas, fur-lined as well as faux-fur lined, I suggest you check the tag to see what the faux-fur or real fur is labeled as. In 2007, the Humane Society ran tests on jackets labeled as faux-fur, only to find an alarming number to contain actual dog and cat fur. I mention this now so that when you retire that cute DKNY coat of yours, you can donate it if it is one of the offending articles.
Sadly, this is something that has been going on since at least 1998. That’s at least one decade of depravity.
The good news is, as consumers, the best way to end the cruelty is to simply stop buying it. Without a market, the need to ship to America declines drastically.
