MARCH 14 SUMMARY

Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur
by Annie Hartnett · March 14, 2011
The Humane Society of the United States recently revealed that Strawberry, a New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur. The discount retailer is alsohawking rabbit fur fashions, which, although properly labeled, are nonetheless cruel.
Since this hairy discovery, the HSUS has called on Strawberry to drop all fur from its stores, in order to show a commitment to animal welfare and to the store's consumers, who deserve to know what they are buying. Unfortunately, Strawberry has made no moves thus far towards adopting a fur-free policy.
Now is not the time for the retailer to be dragged its feet. The Truth in Fur Labeling Act goes into effect later this month. After that time, Strawberry could face hefty fines and possible jail time for leaving fur unlabeled, or for mislabeling real fur as faux fur.
Strawberry is known around New York City for its bargain prices. Many shoppers are misled into believing that a cheap garment means the fur trim can't possibly be real. But listen up spend-thrifts: cheap isn't always synonymous with compassion when it comes to furry fashions.
The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains: "Low quality animal fur (which can sometimes be scraps) can actually be cheaper than the new high quality fake fur (usually made from tufts of acrylic fibers that are held in place by weaving them into a backing of fabric)."
It's likely that the fur sold at Strawberry came from Chinese fur farms, as that is where much of the cheapest fur sold in the U.S. is sourced. Undercover investigations have revealed the horrific cruelties that animals suffer on Chinese fur farms. Rabbits are routinely anally electrocuted, and raccoon dogs have been skinned alive.
Animals shouldn't have to pay the true price for cheap fur. Sign our petition to ask Strawberry to commit to being fur-free.

    Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur
    by Annie Hartnett

    The Human society of the US revealed an important fact about a store in New York City called Strawberry. Strawberry sell real animal fur as faux and also unlabeled fur. When the Hsus saw this, they asked strawberry to stop selling the furs. Strawberry continued selling furs normally. They adopted a free- fur policy.But "The Truth in fur labeling act" goes in effect this month.Later on this may bring out some effects .Strawberry could face real problems or jail for selling unlabeled furs and real furs as fake. At this store the prices are very low. For this reason, many people think they sell fake furs. Some fake furs are more expensive than low quality real furs. Strawberry sell many furs that came from Chinese farms. In these farms animals are tortured. They are electrocuted and skinned alive. Animal suffering don’t worth any price.This is the reason why, Anne Hartnett invite all people to sign a petition so Strawberry will stop selling fur.
