Dog Fur on Jackets--Let's Take It off The

Shelves

Dear

paul,

In an ongoing investigation, this winter

The Humane Society of the United States found jackets trimmed

with dog fur sold by some of the biggest names in

fashion.

A flood of media attention has highlighted

this dog-gone disgrace, and now is the time to tell Congress to

pass the Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Enforcement

Act to help put an end to

it.

H.R. 891, introduced by Rep. Jim Moran

(D-VA) and Rep. Mike Ferguson (R-NJ), would require all

fur-trimmed garments to be labeled, which would help prevent dog

fur from slipping into the country. And it would prohibit the

sale of fur from raccoon dogs, members of the dog family who

were seen being skinned alive in undercover video

footage.

Please take just a moment to contact your member of Congress

today. Tell lawmakers that dogs should

be spared from misery and consumers spared from deception. Don't

forget to ask your friends and family to speak

out, too.

Thank you for all you do for

animals!

Sincerely,Wayne PacellePresident & CEOThe Humane

Society of the United States
