Diddy's Selling Dog Fur!
This is disgusting and incredibly sad!
The Humane Society of the United States has just written this damning expose on their website, revealing that Diddy's clothing company is selling dog fur! And some stores are labeling it "faux."
The HSUS tested the fur on a Sean John Hooded Snorkel Jacket sold on Macys.com that was originally advertised, incorrectly, as having an "imitation rabbit fur collar" and materials identified as "faux fur."
The jacket, which Diddy's company described as containing "raccoon" fur, has now been found to come from a canine species known as raccoon dog.
Previous tests conducted by The HSUS on fur-trimmed jackets from a range of other retailers and designers revealed the same problem--raccoon dog fur from China mislabeled as being from a different species, either "raccoon" or "coyote."
The mislabeling of a fur product is a violation of federal law.
China has no animal welfare laws. Animals killed for their fur in China--dogs, raccoon dogs and others--often face horrible abuse, and are too often skinned alive.
Macy's has reportedly pulled the mislabeled Sean John garments from its department stores and online shop, but The HSUS is calling on Diddy and other designers and retailers to stop using and selling fur trim altogether.
