Faux Fur Actually Real Dog Hair

Your favourite hot pink jacket with that fab faux fur collar might lose some of its appeal- unless you’re okay with dog fur trimming! It turns out that many brand name garments sold at major department stores have been mislabelled as faux fur, when in reality they are real animal fur including hair of dogs, raccoons and rabbits.

Law prohibits the import or sale of dog and cat fur products. But if the amount of fur on a product is valued at less than $150, no label is required. Many fur or fur-trimmed jackets sold in the United States as having "faux fur" -- or not labeled at all -- are actually made, at least in part, from dog fur, the Humane Society of the United States said at a Capitol Hill news conference Wednesday.
