COATS FOR CUBS
All Locations
Nov 1, 2007 to Apr 22, 2008
Give your furs back to the animals! Now through Earth Day, bring your real fur apparel, including trims, accessories and shearling to your local Buffalo Exchange and let us know it’s a donation for Coats for Cubs. Since you're donating to The Humane Society of the United States, condition is unimportant. Used furs provide bedding and comfort to orphaned and injured wildlife. See a Coats for Cubs video of baby animals using the furs at myspace.com/buffaloexchange. Read The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) article, "Coats for Cubs Doubles the Return to the Animals." If you want to claim a tax deduction, please mail your fur directly to Coats for Cubs, The Humane Society of the United States, 2100 L Street NW, Washington, DC 20037. To spread the word about this program, print a PDF of The HSUS pamphlet, “Give Fur Back to the Animals.” To stay on top of the latest issues affecting animals, join The HSUS's online community and receive action alerts. For questions about Coats for Cubs, email furfree@humanesociety.org.
Dogs and raccoon dogs are being sold as "faux fur." The HSUS and Buffalo Exchange, an official endorser, ask you to voice support for the Dog and Cat Fur Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007, which would stop the sale of fur from raccoon dogs and would also require that all fur garments, regardless of value, be labeled. Ask your representative in Congress for truth in fur labeling!

I love Buffalo Exchange but isn't this more fashion related than beauty?
1That's a great idea. I'd totally do it if I had any real fur. I've always found it yucky.
2I heard of people doing this and the animals love it so much. Even at home we have a faux fur blanket on the bed and my dog has claimed it. He LOVES it and always has to sleep on it.
3Coco - Is there a better group to post this kind of stuff?
BBDoll - I would've donated too, but I don't own real fur, either.
4I have only a jacket with fur trim and my cat Coco always loved chewing it and smelling it.
5I guess it's true!
