Chinese raccoon dog: on a coat near you?
The Humane Society of the U.S. is claiming they bought a Sean John coat with an “imitation” fur collar from Macys.com only to find the label actually read “genuine raccoon fur.” HSUS is testing the fur to see if it’s from the Chinese raccoon dog. Macy’s has a policy against selling dog and cat fur; since this coat incident, HSUS has appealed to the company to stop stocking all fur-trimmed clothing.

This is quick on the dirty heels of the reports that Burlington Coat Factory has also been selling real fur as fake.
