T.J. Maxx, we love shopping at your stores, but we do not love products from
> China with fur. The thought of skinning puppies, cats and rabbits alive is
> inexcusable and deplorable all for the sake of fashion but that is the way
> the Chinese fur trade is operated. They say it's done to get a more perfect
> ''cut''. Afterwords the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and
> for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still beating, in agony, their
> eyes still blinking, and the puppies little paws still shaking. The
> undercover film says it all. We expect our retailers to adhere to a higher
> standard by not buying these products. (While I do not normally support PETA, I thought this was important).

...T. J. Maxx is not alone (even Neiman Marcus is guilty with their $1500 Manolo Blahnik boots which were labeled as natural ocelot fur trim on top, relabeled as Ocelot-printed boots, now called Dyed ocelot-print goat fur trim. ) in the China fur trade. And Ocelot is endangered. In many Asian countries without laws to protect them, these ordinary house cats are warehoused & slaughtered; breeds such as the Bengal, Spangled, Egyptian Mau and Ocicat are all used for their leopard-like skins. Buyers should avoid obscurely labeled furs, those of questionable origin and Asian-made fur garments for this reason. Please read the labels and let the vendors know you do not want these products. Tell your friends. Tell T. J .Maxx. Do it now. Thanks for participating.

Susan, my husband and I both signed this and I also sent a link to the petition to everyone in my email addressbook. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention.
