JC Penny's selling Dogs ??

[SilentEyz]

DALLAS — The coats with the fur-trim collars that might have been made from wild dogs in China are back on the rack at J.C. Penney.
The coats were taken off the floor around Christmas when animal-rights activists objected to the origins of the fur. Last week, the department-store company put the coats back on the racks -- but only after directing employees to use marker pens to blot out the line on the label that identified the trim as raccoon fur.

PENNEY'S STANCE

Penney downplays any link between Lassie and the animal whose fur is used on some of its garments. That animal is usually called a raccoon dog because of its full coat and dark patches around the eyes.
"Asiatic raccoon is the species name," Brossart said. "It's on the Federal Trade Commission's list of fur that is legal to sell in the United States. It's not a dog."
Animal-rights advocates counter that although it looks like an oversized, fluffy raccoon and isn't kept as a pet, it is a canine breed -- something Penney doesn't dispute.
