The society says it has found 12 examples over a three year period. Garments purported to be fake fur are actually made from the fur of the raccoon dog, a canine indigenous to Asia. Here's an interesting note: after Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger got a letter from Humane Society, they stopped selling fur altogether.
