MARCH 14 SUMMARY

Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur
by Annie Hartnett · March 14, 2011
The Humane Society of the United States recently revealed that Strawberry, a New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur. The discount retailer is alsohawking rabbit fur fashions, which, although properly labeled, are nonetheless cruel.
Since this hairy discovery, the HSUS has called on Strawberry to drop all fur from its stores, in order to show a commitment to animal welfare and to the store's consumers, who deserve to know what they are buying. Unfortunately, Strawberry has made no moves thus far towards adopting a fur-free policy.
Now is not the time for the retailer to be dragged its feet. The Truth in Fur Labeling Act goes into effect later this month. After that time, Strawberry could face hefty fines and possible jail time for leaving fur unlabeled, or for mislabeling real fur as faux fur.
Strawberry is known around New York City for its bargain prices. Many shoppers are misled into believing that a cheap garment means the fur trim can't possibly be real. But listen up spend-thrifts: cheap isn't always synonymous with compassion when it comes to furry fashions.
The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains: "Low quality animal fur (which can sometimes be scraps) can actually be cheaper than the new high quality fake fur (usually made from tufts of acrylic fibers that are held in place by weaving them into a backing of fabric)."
It's likely that the fur sold at Strawberry came from Chinese fur farms, as that is where much of the cheapest fur sold in the U.S. is sourced. Undercover investigations have revealed the horrific cruelties that animals suffer on Chinese fur farms. Rabbits are routinely anally electrocuted, and raccoon dogs have been skinned alive.
Animals shouldn't have to pay the true price for cheap fur. Sign our petition to ask Strawberry to commit to being fur-free.

    The Strawberry brand has been selling real fur vests as not real or synthetic fur. They were told to stop selling their furs but they haven’t made any move to stop this. Buyers think this couldn’t be real because real fur couldn’t be sold so cheap. “The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains: "Low quality animal fur can actually be cheaper than the new high quality fake fur.”(1) Fur from Strawberry comes from Chinese fur farms; place where the cheapest fur can be found.

  3. Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur (Summary)
    by Annie Hartnett · March 14, 2011

    Strawberry store is selling real fur for ¨foux fur¨. The HSUS has called on Strawberry to take out all the fur from the store, in order the store's consumers, who deserve to know what they are buying. For sad the store has made nothing for a policy. In this moment the act is making effect. From this moment on the store could get penalization because of this also could go to jail. The store is known in new York because of its low prices, a lot of people think that because is cheap is not real but talking about fur this is not a synonym of compassion. The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains that the low quality fur can be cheaper than the real of high quality. The fur in the store may come from Chinese farms because most of the United States fur comes from there. Many investigations tell that the animals are midstride in those farms. These animals don’t have the fault f the cheap fur. Stick with us and don’t let this happen again.

    They are different stores like Strawberries that sells animal cruelty, showing fur in their catalogs for selling meanwhile they don't even care how the animals feel. Strawberries don't listen what the buyers think, because they don't even label the different cloth to know if they are synthetic or real fur. This is a problem for the HSUS. In result, they jail the different workers from Strawberries. There are investigations that led to the conclusion that different furs from Strawberries are the same as Chinese ones. We can conclude that they sell cheap prices, but the animal shouldn't pay for them.

    The HSUS revealed that Strawberry has been selling real fur as faux fur. They have been called to take over the fur from the stores, but they haven´t do anything. Many shoppers don´t believe this is possible because of the low prices. The reason is that Strawberry´s fur might came from Chinese fur farms, were the cheapest fur is sold.

    A recently discovery had reveal that Strawberry has been selling clothes made with real animal fur, but sell it as if it were synthetic. HSUS had called Strawberry so it can stop selling clothes made with real animal’s skin without letting the costumer know what they are buying. But Strawberry has not done anything to achieve it. Strawberry can have big mules and also be sent to jail. The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains: "Low quality animal fur (which can sometimes be scraps) can actually be cheaper than the new high quality fake fur". 1

    This shop is contributing with animal cruelty and so they will face a consequence of losing their shop and go to jail.
