Last week it was all over facebook that some well-known brands are wrongly selling real fur as faux fur. This fur is skinned off rabbits, racoons and even cats. Please note that the sale of cats’ and dogs’ fur is banned in the European Union. Immediately after this exposure, the brands concerned removed these wrongly marketed real fur products from their shelves. They have stated that they will investigate further their manufacturers.

This shocking news worried me as sometimes I do like to have faux fur on my clothes or accessories. However, with the help of PETA, now I am not worrying anymore, as straight after the news, PETA shared a video on how to check for real fur.
After watching this video, I went to check if the fur on my new Tally Weijl jacket is fake, and it is. I was previously considering buying a cheap faux fur ball keychain from eBay, but after this news, I don’t want to risk it.
