Subject: Please don't try to deceive us
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. There is enough deception in the world already. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.
Sincerely, Mrs. Patti Watson

Regardless, of whether raccoon or not, dog or not, no fur should be allowed. China has a long history of lying to consumers, we should not allow them to try to fool us in this manner. We should have compassion for all animals.

Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. It is important for consumers to know what they are buying. It is misleading to label fur trim 'raccoon fur' and it should be illegal. Dog fur is dog fur, and if the label stated 'raccoon dog' then it would be factual and most people DO NOT want dog fur on their clothing! The fur producing countries, (like China) use cruel and inhumane treatment of the dogs to get their fur. I request that you please require labeling to be accurate in order that the dogs may be spared the torture and also consumers can avoid supporting this cruel exploitation of 'Man's best friend.' Thank you.

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. What would really be nice would be to outlaw the killing of any animals in the name of fashion.

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. I'm going to boycott this country and stop working because I am not okay with my tax dollars going towards your paycheck when you're allowing these things to go on. You are sick and twisted for being okay with this. Remember, Karma will come back to get you. If you're going to allow these horrific practices to go on then you will probably end up one of these dogs in your next life, skinned alive. Sleep well tonight.

Subject: Require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur companies have a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the (raccoon) family. Reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.

I am not advocating that we cease to use all animal products, but humanity and honesty in labeling HAS to be a priority here. What the fur industry is doing to these poor animals is akin to calling severe child abuse "a little discipline." Please at the very least require them to come clean about what this fur really is and how they are getting it. My mother always told me if you're not doing anything you consider wrong you should be proud to tell people what you are doing. What does the industry's hiding the true nature of this fur tell you? Even they know it's wrong.

The unfair labeling of raccoon dog as "Asiatic raccoon" is highly misleading, and above all misinformed. It is unfortunate that our government will stand to allow sectors for profit to exploit our ignorance. Thus, this debacle is concerned on the grounds for animal welfare, and most overtly for transparency. In the United States of America, our society values transparency as an integral virtue of democracy. Without the structure of transparency, we cannot make sound, informed decisions for ourselves and the wellbeing of our families. Please consider the ethic behind revealing information of the fur trade to our citizenry. The fur-trade is no secret, and a great many coalitions work to expel its unethical treatment of our animal friends. But as our governmental body, it is the responsibility upon you to practice good governance and stand as an example for corporate America to transparent of its practices. I was given a coat as a gift for the winter season by my parents. Along the rim of the coat hood was a lining of "Asiatic raccoon fur". This lining of animal fur ultimately served no distinct purpose. In discovering the true contents of the fur's origin, I became appalled over the skinning and murder of an innocent animal for the sole purpose of using the "raccoon" for a decorative purpose. Please, do not allow the tradition of deceit to continue for the purpose of pure profit. Thank you for taking the time to address our desire for real transparency. Sincerely, Sandy El Hage

The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. Furthermore, why are these animals being skinned alive? Isn't it unnecessary enough that we are using other animals skin to dress ourselves without making it happen in such a cruel way? All reputable governmental and scientific s, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.

Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. If people in the USA knew that raccoon dogs were being skinned alive so that they could have a fur trim on their clothing, how many would want the practice to continue? Please do not allow the fur industry to hide the cruel and senseless treatment of raccoon dogs under the guise of them being "asiatic raccoons." Raccoon dog fur should be called raccoon dog fur. Anything else is false and misleading advertising. Thank you.

Some more factual information follows below, but let me clearly express my personal opinion when it comes to fur and those who wear it. Wearing fur coats and/or other clothing accessories that utilize fur is flat out WRONG, especially when you consider the inhuman and profit-driven manner in which fur-producing animals are treated. If it was up to me, fur would be OUTLAWED since synthetic materials can now be produced and utilized. At the very least, animals whose fur is utilized should be treated in the MOST humane and ethical manner possible. I VOTE ON THESE ISSUES.

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. It's cheating when you try to hide what you are doing by calling it a different name. Cheating your customers, and cheating the animals. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.
Sincerely, Ms. Mary Elek

Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. Dear Madame / Sir: Please please listen to many reputable governmental and scientific resources, and require the fur industry to correctly label the racoon dogs as members of the dog family (which they are!) and not deceptively as asiatic raccoons. This is horrible misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product and prevent consumers from knowing that dogs are being skinned alive and abused. Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels. People should know that they are sporting fur at the terrible expense of man's best friend. Sincerely, Elayne Shelton

Surely such a barbaric practice cannot continue. At least make them call it what it is. Sincerely Kittie Hanson

To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Please do not pass this order - I cannot believe that an educated government and country will allow such a dastardly acts to be committed. It is so sad that man can commit such atrocious acts of inhumanity on defenseless animals such as these who cannot speak for themselves. AND FOR WHAT!!!!! Please use the power you have for the good of all creatures but do not watch and pass legislation and stop this inane slaughter Thank you Sirs/Madams for your kindness.

Purveyors of animal skins in any form clrealy have little conscience regarding the live creatures they slaughter for the most trivial decorative purposes. At the same time, they clearly realize that American consumers have a significant level of emotional attachment for dogs, which we see as loving companion animals. Therefore, they hope to sidestep this inconvenient emotionality by lying about the source of this particular pelt.

It is time to move out of the dark ages where they went hunting for the families dinner. That is not necessary today there are so many alternatives. It is time to stop all of this and ladies if you did not buy fur the animals would live in peace. As I always say supply and demand. If you think furs make you admired because you are rich and famous. I think you are a poor excuse for a human being, and may be ignorant to how that fur coat was made or maybe you just don't care.

Consumers have a right to know what it is they are purchasing. Industries should not be permitted to dupe their customers.

It doesn't matter what animal it is - dog or cat or whatever. China also steals people's pets to harvest their fur. They skin them alive and it is horrendous. I cannot begin to imagine and don't want to begin to imagine. All fur should be banned. It only looks good on the animal born with it. On a human it looks stupid and makes me think that person must be a psychopath. Google Raccoon Dog and look at the heartbreaking picture of the pile of dogs skinned alive and the latest lying on top looking at the camera. They don't die right away. Just horrific and should be illegal.

Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented.

It is my personal belief that trapping any animal for its fur should not be allowed. It causes SO much suffering...and the poor raccoon dog is among them.

Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. In the United States we have been fairly successful at eliminating the cruel and exploitive fur industry. However, the fur industry is not giving up and is seeking to sell the fur of a canine, a dog as "Asiatic raccoon" so as to fool people who would never consider wearing dog fur into buying this fur. It is appallingly misleading.

The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. The Chinese don't seem to have an scruples regarding animal welfare. Skinning a creature while it is alive is horrendous. I hope that people will be aware of the fact that this creature is in fact a dog, and will not purchase any garments with the other names. They skin cats also, and do indeed eat dogs! Awful.

Further more, though I eat meat, I will not buy new fur of any kind regardless of the species. If any cruelty is involved I am firmly against it for any reason. It's simply not necessary to be cruel! I am not against using every part of a meat animal- that only makes sense- but to kill an animal ONLY for its coat is no longer good animal husbandry. It's no longer a matter of survival, either. If I need something to keep me warm I'm happy with wool or synthetics. If I am not sure what species a bit of fur on a garment is I WILL NOT BUY IT, PERIOD, new or used.

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. NO Animal should be skinned alived!!!! Period!!!!!!

Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish jand Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.

Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. Personally, I would rather you NOT kill these animals for their fur. I oppose the killing of animals for their fur, so that men and women can wear dead animals on their bodies. This makes me sick to my stomach that you and the fur industry could allow this to continue. There are other ways to get the real fur look without killing innocent animals for your enjoyment. How can all of you sleep at night knowing what you are doing. Think about this, how would you feel if someone took your dog, cat, and decided to kill them for their fur. For which they are your pet/family member, how would you feel. The horror of this is that you are allowing the fur industry to kill these animals while they are alive, HOW BARBARIC is this. Yes, I do know that we are talking about wild animals but even still those that can not talk and plead their case are being wiped out and our planet is being destroyed by the likes of you and the fur industry. So, now I am asking NO I AM PLEADING WITH YOU to stop all of this and find an alternative to killing live animals. As for the rest of this body of a message, I will live the rest the way it is.

With the concluding of this message, I would personally like to say that I WILL NEVER WEAR ANYTHING THAT IS MADE OF REAL ANIMAL FUR. They are living, breathing beings and should be treated as such. These Raccoon Dogs ARE NOT RACCOONS and labeling them under different names is also sick in my book. This

To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Additionally, no animal, regardless of species, should be skinned alive. This is as much a case of animal cruelty as anything else.

Raccoon dogs have been migrating across Asia and into Europe because of loss of habitat to human development in Asia. Even so, they are still DOGS, not raccoons. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Personally, I refuse to buy ANY product that is fur because hides of animals, any animals, are no longer necessary for clothing. Other people do not feel that way, but at least they should know which fur they are wearing.
Sincerely, Ms. Carlene Petty

To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. Call the animal by its correct name so we can stop the inhumane treatment of this animal! All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that.

I am sickened that a name would be intentionally misused to hide such atrocities. It doesn't matter to me whether the animal is a dog or a raccoon when it comes to skinning a creature alive or mistreating them...both animals suffer the same horror, fear, and pain. It does matter to me, however, that there is an attempted cover-up. Sadly, it SHOULD NOT matter to the public what an animal is called...only a cruel and callous man would let the name of an animal determine whether an act is truly cruel. Yes, wild animals are treated differently than domesticated animals. That is nature and it's practical. But, when did skinning something alive become BETTER if it's done to a raccoon instead of a raccoon dog? That is a lie, and all that is being done is labeling an animal differently so the lie becomes easier to swallow...it becomes easier for some to turn a blind eye. The fur industry is capitalizing on this tremendously. Torture is abhorrent. Those that directly partake in it or widen its spread will one day be repaid, but that that is not soon enough to stop what the fur industry is doing right now. It's not soon enough to stop animals from being skinned alive. I can imagine no more painful death, and for what crime? Because God created them with pretty fur? Celebrate beauty...do not torture it, skin it, and destroy it. And, do not enable those that do to do so more easily.

To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. They are a member of the dog family and should be treated with respect. Please don't let this continue, you have the power to do the right thing.

Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. Stop bowing to any industry or country ~ do not bend to political or monetary pressure ~ tell the story like it is ~ these animals are not raccoons. They are members of the dog family. Instead of even allowing their products to be "named", you should be telling China (not pressuring - but "telling" China) that such products will not be sold in this country due to the cruelties of the industry. Don't even allow the "market" to continue in the US. Animal cruelty needs to be stamped out ~ it has to begin somewhere ~ why not with your rulings? As you know people who are cruel to animals have the propensity for cruelty to people. Any decent person would not purchase these products (dog or raccoon) if they were aware of the cruelty that created it...... The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented.

Fur is fur and we know where it comes from. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Regardless of these animals being dogs or racoons or whatever they are labelled, it is still an innocent animal and does not deserve to be killed for its fur.
Sincerely, Ms. Stacey Redfern

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Why is it our Government and all its agencies take no responsiblity for the protection of ALL. Animal and Human. The TV is daily reporting the most horrid of cruelity to horses/cats/dogs etc. I know, you will probably say.. 'for God Sake.. it is just an animal" It is inhumanity and humans are the cruelest of all of God's Creatures.

We can't allow the Chinese to dupe Americans into buying things made out of dogs. We can't allow them to rename this species of dog just so they can find a market for something created out of their unspeakable cruelty and barbarism. WE need to lead the way. Makers of pet food that killed our own pets and of baby formula that has killed their own babies should NOT be calling the shots here. Our country is far from perfect, but I believe that Americans will not want a product made from tortured dogs.

Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Consumers have a right to know what they are buying. Why the secrecy? Regardless of whether the fur comes from a member of the dog family or raccoon family, using fur from an animal, especially one killed in such a cruel manner, should be brought to light.

Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. To call society civilized is an overstatement. A civilized society acts on the behalf of the world, not themselves. Are we that careless & elementary to think that everything put on this earth is for human disposal? Are we that ignorant to think that just because a species can't communicate the way we do or can't destroy the world (like humans are doing) that they shouldn't be valued? The pain & suffering these animals endure is no different than what a human would feel. Just because they don't have the ability to argue & pull out a knife & stab you back, doesn't mean we should take them for granted. Humans were given the gift of intelligence. Use that intelligence to make the world a better place. We have a responsibility to protect & defend those that are inferior, not destroy them. I ask you to ask yourself if you would allow the abuse a mentally challenged human. They often times can't communicate or defend themselves the way a mentally healthy human can. But if you're argument is that humans are superior, no, not all are...but they are our responsibility. Look to the future.

Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. We do not need any animal fur on our clothes. They belong on the animals.
Sincerely, Mrs. Cindy Robillard

Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. I believe consumers should know what they are buying and make their decisions based on accurate labels.

Let me make one thing clear: I abhor the use (i.e. trapping, murder, flaying) of true Raccoons fully as much as I detest the same cruelty turned toward Raccoon Dogs. Perhaps this is because I raised a true Raccoon along with my true Dogs, and found them equally intelligent, sentient, aware, and frightened of pain. But if you're going to keep murdering animals in the name of fashion, at least call them what they are. Those who buy fur should know exactly whom they have caused to suffer, and why they should be ashamed.

Subject: Please require raccoon dog to be called "raccoon dog" on fur labels
To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. Why must everything be so horrifying in this world? Just do the right thing. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family.

To Federal Trade Commission,
Regarding Fur Rules Review, Matter No. P074201: Raccoon dogs are among the most mistreated animals for their fur, and consumers deserve to know when fur from raccoon dogs is trimming garments. Inaccurate trade names like “Asiatic raccoon” and “Finn raccoon” are misleading and serve only to disguise the live skinning and other mistreatment of raccoon dogs. Please make sure raccoon dog fur is called raccoon dog fur in advertisements and on labels. The fur industry has a long history of misrepresentation in order to sell its cruel product -- now they want to be allowed to sell raccoon dog under the name "Asiatic raccoon" no doubt so consumers won't make the connection to the live skinning and other abuses of this animal that have been well documented. Raccoon dogs are a member of the Canidae (dog) family and are NOT, as the name "Asiatic raccoon" implies, members of the Procyonidae (raccoon) family. All reputable governmental and scientific sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Smithsonian Institution, call raccoon dogs just that. Sincerely, Les Sluggett

By the way, if you have never seen the films, you should spend some time watching a creature being skinned alive, the still-living body thrown on the ground to slowly die. It just might make you think a little more deeply about your place in this world.

ALL FUR THAT IS (UNFORTUNATELY AND SADLY) LEGALLY ALLOWED MUST NEVERTHELESS BE LABELLED AS SUCH - THAT IS: "REAL FUR" - IRRESPECTIVE OF THE ANIMAL FROM WHICH IT IS STOLEN. HOWEVER, HAVING SAID THAT, "REAL FUR" SHOULD BE BANNED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SO THAT THE CORRECT NAMING OF A SPECIES WILL THEN NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE FOR DEBATE.
