Dog Gone it, Diddy Did It!

I just found out on Drudge that Diddy has been selling his fabulous Sean John line of overpriced hooded jackets lined with genuine dog fur from the mean streets of China.

From the AP here:

NEW YORK – Macy’s has pulled from its shelves and its Web site two styles of Sean John hooded jackets, originally advertised as featuring faux fur, after an investigation by the nation’s largest animal protection organization concluded that the garments were actually made from a certain species of dog called “raccoon dog.”

“First these jackets were falsely advertised as faux fur, and then it turned out that the fur came from a type of dog,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States.

Pacelle added that the issue is an “industry-wide problem” and its investigation demonstrated that retailers and designers “aren’t paying close enough attention to the fur trim they are selling.” He added that the issue is especially problematic when “the fur is sourced from China where domestic dogs and cats and raccoon dogs are killed in gruesome ways.”

Puff Daddy rips off his customers anyways for the ridiculous prices of his clothing. The coat pictured above with the genuine Chinese dog fur is regularly priced at over 235 dollars. You would think for a price that high he would use domestic clothing manufacturers. But he outsources it so he can keep even more money. And he is obviously not checking on the quality of his garments.

Remember, any clothing with fur on it needs to be checked to ensure it was not made in China. China has no problem cutting corners and using dogs or any other type of roadkill it can find for its goods.
