I won't go to the link. But I've heard what your talking about in the 99 issue of Cat fancy if we are talking about the same thing. Don't tell me though, I don't want to hear. But they are fucking bastards to be sure, and I hope those involved die a painful death.
Basically if you don't know where it came from, it probably came from china. I don't wear fur and do not condone anyone wearing it. The article talked about china mislabeling rabbit fur, for the fur I will not mention. To dupe people into buying it. It was and probably still is mostly used on those little fur covered figurines. The only way to find out I hear is to send your fur product to a lab to test what it really is. It usually costs 80$ to do so.
I would certainly help you kill those son of a bitches.
