   Dog Fur on Jackets--Let's Take It off The Shelves   
      
      
      
   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!   
      
   P.S. For details on the recent dog fur scandal and why this bill is   
   important, read the story on our website.
