The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsI'm Shopping At Macy's
Okay, we don't have one here, but I'd like to shop there after this story.
Group says "fake" fur on coat at Macy's is real
The Humane Society of the United States said a $237.99 Sean John Hooded Snorkel Jacket for sale on Macy's Web site was described as having an "imitation rabbit fur collar."I don't know how one confuses raccoon dog fur with fake rabbit, but I suppose it's possible.But the group said when it purchased the coat, the label read "Made in China" and "genuine raccoon fur." The group said it is testing the fur to see if it is from a raccoon dog, a type of dog raised in China whose fur resembles that of a raccoon.
And, who cares, really.
I just hope the dogs were put to good use and enjoyed as a hearty dinner afterwards.
No, I'm not one to eat dogs, seeing as I like them as pets and all, but if people eat them, then that's their prerogative.
The Humane Society also told Macy's to stop selling furs altogether, which I consider completely moronic. Who cares if I want to wear fake fur.
Frick, it's not even made with animals (not that I'd care), so they can just back the heck off.

So it is imitation rabbit fur then, imitated with raccoon dog?

The should mutate a dog to have long rabbit ears and a big puffy tail.

I wanna know where the Humane Society got $237.99 to drop on a coat. That's about half of my rent...

It actually _is_ an imitation rabbit fur! It is dog fur that resembles rabbit fur. Its real fur but fake rabbit fur. Perfect.
