Their hide is being used to fuel the FAKE Ugg boot trend.\r\n\r\nIt is hard to believe, but these Uggs could even be on the UK markets NOW as there is NO LAW AGAINST RACCOON DOG FUR AND HIDES – the material is being marketed as “Australian Sheepskin” with some companies removing the “Made in China” tag and replacing it with an “Australian Made” tag.\r\n\r\nWe the undersigned, call for a UK ban on Raccoon Dog hide and an end to this disgusting trade.
