Think your clothes are fur-free? Think again...
A loophole in labeling laws means that manufacturers don't always have to tell you if a garment is made with fur. Garments made with $150 worth of fur or less don't have to say so in the label.


Urge Congress to support the Truth in Fur Labeling Act and ensure that your clothes are really fur-free: http://go.care2.com/e/R1uS/AKDg/JBU9

1. Sorry, I had to laugh at your subject title. Of course I don't

think my clothes are fur-free. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, plus the human fur shedders, and I'm always covered with fur. I schedule surgery in the operating room at the hospital and I can't even go in the sterile zone unless I change clothes or put on a "bunny suit" (sterile paper coverall). I don't mean to diminish your post and I will read all of the information and sign the petition. Thanks.

PS: I'm somewhat of a goddess of Guinness myself. It's the best!
