It's not a Raccoon, it is a dog. A gorgeous and gentle animal.   It is horrifying to think of how some animals are suffering and enduring excruciating deaths, at the hands of humans, because of greed.  Is there really any way we can stop it, or control it?  I wonder everyday, do we have the ability to stop the cruelty and death of animals.  Animals raised only so they can be turned into fur coats, boots, and furry trims, and other items that humans can profit from.  

Read this article on the "Raccoon Dog", an amazing little creature that many don't even know exists. The Raccoon Dog is raised only to be brutalized, tortured, and turned into fur coats - because they resemble a raccoon and have beautiful fur?   Click here for information and the article, it is not a heartwarming article, but it is very important that people educate themselves about this animal.   Please pass it on to your friends, and their friends, and so on - awareness will help to stop these horrifying acts.  I pray everyday that somehow we get closer to stopping the insane cruelty - to all animals.

Retailers the Humane Society said sold mislabeled raccoon dog fur included Lord & Taylor, BergdorfGoodman.com, and Neiman Marcus.com. Designers whose clothes were mismarked included Donna Karan's DKNY and Michael Kors. A coat from Oscar de la Renta advertised as raccoon had raccoon dog fur. A spokeswoman for Oscar de la Renta declined to comment.
