Dogs are Being Skinned and the Fur Sold Under the Names "Asiatic Raccoon" and "Finn Raccoon" - You Can Help!!

Info Courtesy of the United States Humane Association

Raccoon dogs (a member of the Canidae (dog) family with a superficial resemblance to raccoons) have been documented to be skinned alive in China for their fur, and many consumers want to avoid supporting this cruelty and know which retailers and designers still are. But the Federal Trade Commission is proposing that raccoon dog fur be called the misleading and inaccurate "Asiatic raccoon" -- making it hard for consumers and retailers to know that this is the same animal whose mistreatment is so well documented.
