Australian fur trade using cruel raccoon dog from China in clothes and ugg boots

Thanks for sharing that. Posted it on my Fb wall, about time people knew the truth.

Same, I posted it on my facebook wall.

): thats so sadddd!

It's always been the case no matter where you go for fur products it's likely it'll have fur of animals not listed on the label.

But hey, people think fur that looks horrible on people is awesome so why the heck would the care for label accuracy?

And ugg boots are soooo ugly. I have a synthetic version for winter to wear at home. Never in public, not just because they look ridiculous but someone could assume they aren't synthetic and I don't want to promote the look.

oh yes. thats the thing i saw on ten news...... we all were peed off

Heartbreaking

I should make my boyfriend watch that video. He buys "sheepskin" moccassins religiously and just does not give a flying f*ck.

There was a story about this last night on the Geroge Negus show - you can watch here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWZ08qws2oo but I warn you - It's so distressing!

Australia has only "banned" the importation of dog and cat fur but I think all fur should be banned. After a all a raccoon, or a rabbit or a fox can feel just as much as pain as those poor dogs and cats (it's a little speciesist isn't it?)

If you agree use this Unleashed page http://www.unleashed.org.au/take_action/stop-the-sale-of-fur-in-Australia/ to ask the government to ban the import of ALL fur products

I agree, all fur imports should be banned no matter what animal it's from.

Are there any fur producers here in Australia?

I love fur. I think it's very fashionable and looks great... on the animal it's from, that is... Fur on people looks so tacky.

I just clicked on the link That's just devastating... those poor animals. I'm posting it on fb too.. Surely there's gotta be a few people who can see it who haven't blocked me yet for posting too many animal welfare links!
