Help Support the Fur Labeling Act - Please follow the steps

Let's help congress pass the bill H.R.2480, and it's sister bill S.1076. These bills will disallow untrue labeling of fur products. This will stop dog and cat fur from being sold as "faux," as well as Chinese raccoon dog fur from being labeled "Asiatic Raccoon."

Then go back to your senator and representative's website, in his or her email box, right click and choose "Paste." Now you can submit it to him or her. Feel free to add or change anything, thanks you your support.

You will have two Senators and one local Representative, please send this to both of your Senators as well as your Representative to really support the "Truth in Fur Labeling Act."

The European Parliament has outlawed dog and cat fur, and more recently seal trade products, and both laws have NO loopholes that will leave room for such merchandise to sneak into any European country.

In the United States, where we should take pride on the dog and cat fur supposed to have been banned a decade ago, the $150 loophole made a mockery of the same law.  Because of this loophole, we cannot say that cat and dog fur is really outlawed in the United States, can we?

The $150 loophole which states that any fur item that costs less than $150 does not need to be labeled has offered dog and cat fur trade an open door in the United States.  These furs, and others, coming from animals such as rabbit and fox are considered budget fur and their cost is usually under the $150 price. Therefore, U.S. residents may be unknowingly wearing pets since no one can tell what one is buying unless DNA tests are performed and that costs about $500 per test.

The harvesting of fur in China is hidden from unsuspecting consumers who may have no idea that each fur article comes with an unimaginable amount of pain and agony to innocent animals. All fur items regardless of their price SHOULD BE LABELED stating exactly what kind of animal was used so the public can make a conscientious decision when purchasing their merchandise.

As your constituent, I ask you to please support the Bill H.R.2480 and its related bill S.1076.
