Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur by Annie Hartnett • March 14, 2011 The Humane Society of the United States recently revealed that Strawberry, a New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur. The discount retailer is alsohawking rabbit fur fashions, which, although properly labeled, are nonetheless cruel. Since this hairy discovery, the HSUS has called on Strawberry to drop all fur from its stores, in order to show a commitment to animal welfare and to the store's consumers, who deserve to know what they are buying. Unfortunately, Strawberry has made no moves thus far towards adopting a fur-free policy. Now is not the time for the retailer to be dragged its feet. The Truth in Fur Labeling Act goes into effect later this month. After that time, Strawberry could face hefty fines and possible jail time for leaving fur unlabeled, or for mislabeling real fur as faux fur. Strawberry is known around New York City for its bargain prices. Many shoppers are misled into believing that a cheap garment means the fur trim can't possibly be real. But listen up spend-thrifts: cheap isn't always synonymous with compassion when it comes to furry fashions. The HSUS's Patrick Kwan explains: "Low quality animal fur (which can sometimes be scraps) can actually be cheaper than the new high quality fake fur (usually made from tufts of acrylic fibers that are held in place by weaving them into a backing of fabric)." It's likely that the fur sold at Strawberry came from Chinese fur farms, as that is where much of the cheapest fur sold in the U.S. is sourced. Undercover investigations have revealed the horrific cruelties that animals suffer on Chinese fur farms. Rabbits are routinely anally electrocuted, and raccoon dogs have been skinned alive. Animals shouldn't have to pay the true price for cheap fur. Sign our petition to ask Strawberry to commit to being fur-free.

CAMILA. recent Canadian study found that hospital patients who are homeless end up costing hospitals more money. The study was conducted by a Canadian physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. The study found that overall, homeless patients cost hospitals an additional $2,500 each. The reasons for this extra cost are most often related to housing issues. Specifically, a homeless patient often does not have a place to go upon discharge and therefore the hospital keeps them for additional time. Often homeless shelters will not accept a person if they are recently discharged from the hospital or are still ill, which can further complicate the issue. Homeless individuals with inadequate nourishment are at a higher risk of being hospitalized. Much of this began with a struggling father attempting to provide his family with food. He sought assistance with his local soup kitchen. Yet, because of an inhumane and confusing meal-limit ordinance, he and his family went hungry. It seems clear that providing meals to all who are hungry would cost much less money than allowing families to go hungry and therefore risk health issues and lengthy hospital stays.

Wildlife Coalition Pressures U.S. to List African Lions as Endangered The African lions are in a terrible sircunstances because us the humans are distructing their habitats, loss preys, hunting and some other things that would destroy them.Some members of Defenders of Wildlife the population decrease 50% in the last 60 years. The African lions are in danger, but the people think that are not in danger. Some protect animals compannies are working to change that. This compannies put in USA that this lions are in danger, so they don't hunt them. In USA they are worried that in a time the lions would extinct.As reported by OurAmazingPlanet, Teresa Telecky of the Humane Society of the United States said that, "Americans' thirst for exotic goods and trophies to hang on their walls is driving lions to extinction." The International Fund for Animal Welfare's Jeff Flocken is saing that the lions would stinct because some people only want kill this animals for sport and would do that the African lions extinct. If we put the African lion in the list of danger, it would be ilegal to import lions for commercial purposes.
A great number of the lion population is left in the wild. But when we think in letting them into the wild, we only think that we are doing the right thing by giving them freedom. But the truth is that less than 40,000 of the lion population face many threats such as habitat loss or destruction,disease,prey loss, poisoning and hunting in fact the popopulation of the african lions decreased by half over the last 60 years.
The lion is in danger of extinction, but is not listed as one of the protected animals under the Endangered Species Act. People trying to protect them asked the U.S Department of Interior to add the lion to the list.
Many foundations, organizations and groups such as th Defenders of Wildlife, Born Free USA and International Fund for Animal Welfare want the African Lion to make part of the Endangered List.

eduardo gonzalez There is no doubt Cesar Chavez was a civil Latino rights leader. Its non violent fight for farmers through boycotts and strikes led to pesticide protective clothes and other things. As he demanded the union contracts, he extended the possibility of victory to workers in the U.S. giving hope to poor people. With this actions Chavez became a symbol of peaceful resistance even inspired president Obama and made march 31st a national holyday. This day marks Chavez birthday and is already celebrated in ten sates. But educating generations about Chavez legacy is challenged by recent moves in textbooks. So once again, we are supporting UFW in calling for a national holiday to commemorate one of our nation’s most inspiring leaders and ensure he remains a figure in our national consciousness. As Obama stated: “Chavez left a legacy as an educator, environmentalist, and a civil rights leader…we should honor him for what he's taught us about making America a stronger, more just, and more prosperous nation.”
ADAP is an invaluable state program that assists HIV-positive individuals in paying for their very expensive medications.HIV medications are necessary to treat and manage HIV/AIDS and to prevent disease progression.For a variety of reasons, ADAP funding is being cut in states across the country, leaving many HIV+ adults unable to afford their medications.
There are medecines for HIV/AIDS but these said medcines are having some problems, because there is some things which ar ebeing decided. It is difficult for those who are separated from an injustice thousands of miles away to get a real sense of those affected. People with HIV/AIDS who are living in developing countries like Africa, Asia and Latin America, the possibility of losing access to their low-cost, generic medicines is not only very real but also very scary. The European Union and India are working on an international trade agreement that could threaten the availability of generic HIV/AIDS medicines around the globe.

I've been writing a lot to help with a campaign (11,000 signatures and counting) to make San Francisco the first city in the U.S. to end the distribution of unwanted copies of the Yellow Pages. I've met a man named Albert Kaufman, he proposed statewide legislation now being considered in Oregon. He's been asked a good question: "You might ask, why, when there is so much going wrong in the world, I have chosen to focus on phone books?" His answer? "I learned a while ago that it makes sense to focus on a thread, and keep on pulling, and somewhere along the way, the wastefulness and just downright pain in the ass to deal with of phonebooks got to me." Here is a bit more about Mr. Kaufman's journey: Two years ago, he asked his state legislator to submit a bill on his behalf, HB 3477, to move Oregon to an opt-in system, which would prohibit companies from dumping phone books on doorsteps without explicit permission. The bill made it to a hearing in the House committee and then went nowhere. But he didn't give up. Last year, he presented the legislation again well in advance of this year's session—this time to his State Senator Chip Shields. Now, the legislation Senate Bill 525 or SB525 awaits a hearing in committee again. One big issue in Salem, environmentally-speaking, this session, is an effort to ban the plastic bag, so that's getting a lot of attention, but a few radio, TV stations and newspapers are picking up the story of SB 525 and I expect more will as the session progresses." It looks like his campaign is picking up speed. The phone book industry is putting plenty of lobbying resources into stalling San Francisco's legislation, because it will be the first in the nation and would cut into their billions of dollars of ineffective advertising revenues. But if enough cities and states are seriously considering similar measures, the industry will have a harder time blocking every individual effort. That's another reason why these local and statewide campaigns are so important.

In USA they are worried that in a time the lions would extinct.As reported by OurAmazingPlanet, Teresa Telecky of the Humane Society of the United States said that, "Americans' thirst for exotic goods and trophies to hang on their walls is driving lions to extinction."
The International Fund for Animal Welfare's Jeff Flocken is saing that the lions would stinct because some people only want kill this animals for sport and would do that the African lions extinct.
If we put the African lion in the list of danger, it would be ilegal to import lions for commercial purposes.

ResponderEliminarA great number of the lion population is left in the wild. But when we think in letting them into the wild, we only think that we are doing the right thing by giving them freedom. But the truth is that less than 40,000 of the lion population face many threats such as habitat loss or destruction,disease,prey loss, poisoning and hunting in fact the popopulation of the african lions decreased by half over the last 60 years.
The lion is in danger of extinction, but is not listed as one of the protected animals under the Endangered Species Act. People trying to protect them asked the U.S Department of Interior to add the lion to the list.
Many foundations, organizations and groups such as th Defenders of Wildlife, Born Free USA and International Fund for Animal Welfare want the African Lion to make part of the Endangered List.

Strawberry, a New York store, has been selling real fur as "faux fur" andsweaters with raccoon dog fur. This is very cruel, although we think that real fur costs more than faux fur but here not. Since this the HSUS called Strawberry to drop fur from this store,to show to the consumers who deserve to know what they are buying, but , Strawberry has made nothing with it. Here they say that this fur is from chinnese fur farms as much of US fur. Strawberry will get in serious problems if they dont do anything of this, they will get into jail because of cheating people.

Earlier this month CNN's champion for animals knew about Alice, a dog that was living inside a box made of wood and other uncomfortable materials. 26,000 Charge.or members were against this sad action, but Toombs country continued saying that is any wrong in the picture from CNN's man. Velez-Mitchell said that "We are talking about a dog and does not matter what is the situation of the coutry". Alvie Kigth said that if the dog was sick, SoCo an go and will recue it. Then SoCo saw the copy and determined that the dog had heartworm. SoCo said that the dog needed and special veterinary, but dog's owner refused it, very selfish act that can't be rewarded.SoCo wanted judge Matheson to discuss the cause, the last opportunity to not go at war. Bennett told Velez-Mitchell, "If Toombs County allows this case just to be swept under the rug; everyone else in that county that's abusing animals is going to know that they can just simply straighten up for a little while and get away with it. Change has got to start somewhere." Whether or not you can make the rally, you can still speak up for Alice. By signing the petition.

ResponderEliminarThere is no doubt Cesar Chavez was a civil Latino rights leader. Its non violent fight for farmers through boycotts and strikes led to pesticide protective clothes and other things. As he demanded the union contracts, he extended the possibility of victory to workers in the U.S. giving hope to poor people. With this actions Chavez became a symbol of peaceful resistance even inspired president Obama and made march 31st a national holyday. This day marks Chavez birthday and is already celebrated in ten sates. But educating generations about Chavez legacy is challenged by recent moves in textbooks. So once again, we are supporting UFW in calling for a national holiday to commemorate one of our nation’s most inspiring leaders and ensure he remains a figure in our national consciousness. As Obama stated: “Chavez left a legacy as an educator, environmentalist, and a civil rights leader…we should honor him for what he's taught us about making America a stronger, more just, and more prosperous nation.”

ResponderEliminarThere are medecines for HIV/AIDS but these said medcines are having some problems, because there is some things which ar ebeing decided.
It is difficult for those who are separated from an injustice thousands of miles away to get a real sense of those affected. People with HIV/AIDS who are living in developing countries like Africa, Asia and Latin America, the possibility of losing access to their low-cost, generic medicines is not only very real but also very scary.
The European Union and India are working on an international trade agreement that could threaten the availability of generic HIV/AIDS medicines around the globe.

Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur
The Humane Society of the United States revealed that Strawberry, a New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur.
The HSUS has called on Strawberry to suspend fur from its stores, to show a commitment to animal welfare and to the store's consumers. Unfortunately, Strawberry has made no moves towards adopting a fur-free policy.
After The Truth in Fur Labeling Act goes into effect this month, Strawberry could face large fines and probably jail time for having fur unlabeled, or for mislabeling real fur as faux fur.
It's probable that the fur sold at Strawberry came from Chinese fur farms. Undercover investigations have revealed the horrific cruelties that animals suffer on Chinese fur farms. Animals shouldn't have to pay the true price for cheap fur.

I've been writing a lot to help with a campaign (11,000 signatures and counting) to make San Francisco the first city in the U.S. to end the distribution of unwanted copies of the Yellow Pages. I've met a man named Albert Kaufman, he proposed statewide legislation now being considered in Oregon. He's been asked a good question: "You might ask, why, when there is so much going wrong in the world, I have chosen to focus on phone books?" His answer? "I learned a while ago that it makes sense to focus on a thread, and keep on pulling, and somewhere along the way, the wastefulness and just downright pain in the ass to deal with of phonebooks got to me." Here is a bit more about Mr. Kaufman's journey: Two years ago, he asked his state legislator to submit a bill on his behalf, HB 3477, to move Oregon to an opt-in system, which would prohibit companies from dumping phone books on doorsteps without explicit permission. The bill made it to a hearing in the House committee and then went nowhere. But he didn't give up. Last year, he presented the legislation again well in advance of this year's session—this time to his State Senator Chip Shields. Now, the legislation Senate Bill 525 or SB525 awaits a hearing in committee again. One big issue in Salem, environmentally-speaking, this session, is an effort to ban the plastic bag, so that's getting a lot of attention, but a few radio, TV stations and newspapers are picking up the story of SB 525 and I expect more will as the session progresses." It looks like his campaign is picking up speed. The phone book industry is putting plenty of lobbying resources into stalling San Francisco's legislation, because it will be the first in the nation and would cut into their billions of dollars of ineffective advertising revenues. But if enough cities and states are seriously considering similar measures, the industry will have a harder time blocking every individual effort. That's another reason why these local and statewide campaigns are so important.
