Thanks to Leeann, furmom to Dahlila, Cinco, Lizzie and the rest of her pack for barking in this political alert from the ASPCA!

The federal Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Enforcement Act, H.R. 891, would require that all apparel containing any quantity of fur is accurately labeledregardless of the furs monetary valueand also ban completely the sale and import of fur from raccoon dogs, members of the dog family native to China killed in large numbers for their fur.

Under current law, products containing quantities of fur valued under $150 can be sold in American stores without accurate labels. Consumers with ethical objections or allergies to fur may think a lack of a label means that theyre buying faux” furbut sadly, this is not always true.

What You Can Do
Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center today, where you can email a letter to your representative urging him or her support and cosponsor the Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Enforcement Act. Youll also find additional information about how this Act will change current labeling laws for the better.

Thank you for supporting the ASPCA.
