    Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur.

    Animals shouldn’t pay the true price for cheap fur. The Human Society of the United States country is trying to stop this animal suffering. Recently it has been discovered that Strawberry, a New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur". This Society has called on Strawberry to drop all fur from its stores but Strawberry has made no moves. Subsequently, The Truth in Fur Labeling Act is going out and Strawberry could face hefty fines and possible jail time for leaving fur unlabeled, or for mislabeling real fur as faux fur. Despite the cheap fur prices, this animal fur is going to be replaced by the expensive but high quality fake fur as soon costumers realize the cruel way Chinese obtained the fur.

    SUMMARY.

    It was revealed that Strawberry has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur.

    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. But, Strawberry made no moves thus far towards adopting a fur-free policy.

    Strawberry could face hefty fines and possible jail time for leaving fur unlabeled and for mislabeling real fur as faux fur.
    It's likely 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. SING OUR PETITION!

  3. Title: The United States of America Constitution.
    Author: Governor Morrison.

    “Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties” –Abraham Lincoln.

    The U.S. Constitution is a framework of the government, it creates things like Congress and Presidency. Each state has its own constitution but there’s nothing more powerful that the one the Country maintains.
    Over time some new things are added to the Constitution like “Amendments” which list the rights of the citizens. There are over 27 Amendments in total:
    Amendment 1: It talks about the Legislative branch, Congress cannot prohibit the freedom of speech or religion.
    Amendment 2: Every man has the right to port his bear arm.
    Amendment 3: No soldiers can be quartered in any house on times of peace or war.
    Amendment 4: Houses can’t be legally seized or can’t be searched without reason.
    Amendment 5: No person shall be held to answer for a capital.
    Amendment 6: Right to enjoy a speedy and public trial.
    Amendment 7: Trial by jury.
    Amendment 8: No unreasonable punishment, No excessive bail.
    Amendment 9: People cannot be retained by will without a proper evidence.
    Amendment 10: The power of the constitution are reserved for the United States of American.
    Only 26 Amendment are active and they are protecting the right of the people.
    “The American constitutions were to liberty, what a grammar is to language: they define its parts of speech, and practically construct them into syntax” – James Madison

  4. Starbucks CEO Revamps Company, Has More Work to Do on Animal Welfare Policies
    by Annie Hartnett • ANIMALS
    Summary done by: Laura Angulo
    Howard Schultz as the president of Starbucks, returned to his former position in order to help revamp the coffee company. He has wrote a book about the experience.
    Schultz is taking a victory before his work at Starbucks is done. This company may have a new logo, but t he coffee company continues to support one soulless business.
    Starbucks began to phase in free eggs some years ago, and it has yet to commit to a 100 percent cage-free egg policy. Just saying, this is a major failing on the part of the Starbucks company.

  5. Victory! Apple Pulls Dangerous “Gay Cure” iPhone App

    Apple is called as a gay-friendly company because they give money to support marriage equality, they continuing provide platform to champion to ex-gay myth, but let’s ask ourselves a question: Does apple really want to be the vehicle that allow to this happened? What we are allowing to I-tunes platform within apple to represent biblical worldview of heterosexuality, said Buchanan. Apple has editorial standard for all I-phones, but we're talking about a company that is recognized around the world and still continue to practice and promote “conversion therapy”.

  6. Strawberry Clothing Stores Caught Selling Mislabeled Fur

    By: Annie Hartnett
    A New York-based retailer, has been selling real fur vests mislabeled as "faux fur" and unlabeled sweaters trimmed with raccoon dog fur. 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. 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.
    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.
    So please sign our petition to ask Strawberry to commit to being fur-free. Animals need a better life.
