Video: Donna Karan Lies About Using Fur
Cameras caught notorious fur hag Donna Karan as she lied about using fur in her cruel collections. Maybe her fingers were crossed behind her back, because a quick glance at her stores and shows proves that she's still in the bunny-butchering business.
We already knew that the yoga follower was a New Age hypocrite, but now it's obvious that she's an old-school liar too.
E-mail Donna Karan and let her know that you won't be caught dead in her clothes as long as bunnies are.

CBS 2's Fake Fur Investigation Spawns Legislation
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS) ―
A loophole in the federal labeling laws allows clothing manufactures to put real fur into clothing without stating anything on the label.
An exclusive undercover investigation on fur garment labeling, which we reported last year, has prompted proposed legislation in Sacramento.
"Obviously this is the reason we are here today," Assemblywoman Fiona Ma of San Francisco said, referring to our investigation, as she introduced a bill to close the loophole in fur labeling laws.
"We will give consumers the right to know what type of fur is contained on a garment," Ma said.
In our investigation, I asked a sales representative if she knew that a jacket she sold contained real fur.
"I thought it was fake fur," she replied.
Our investigation uncovered jackets labeled faux fur, but our expert, Pierre Grzybowski from the Humane Society of the United States, determined it was actually real.
"You can see little pieces of skin that have been stitched together," Grzybowski said.
We also uncovered jackets without any indication of the type of fur on the label. Some of it was, according to our expert, raccoon dog, an animal raised and allegedly slaughtered alive in China.
Even salespeople were unaware when we told them.
"This is real fur. This is similar to raccoon dog. You don't want dog around your neck? No. I don't think so."
It is all legal because of a secret loophole in the federal labeling laws.
"The loophole is that if the fur is valued at less than $150, there doesn't have to be any mention on the label that there is animal fur in the jacket," Grzybowski said.
But the proposed law would mandate that all products be included on the label so consumers know what they're buying.
"Many consumers don't know that this product contains dog. If they did know they may not choose to purchase it," Ma said.
Sponsors credit our investigation.
"He shined a light on the problem and how, not only does it affect consumers, but salespeople are getting deceived by this lack of labeling," Grzybowski said.
If the bill is approved, California would become the sixth state to mandate that all fur be labeled. Sponsors hope that with California onboard, they can convince federal lawmakers to finally close the loophole.Jan 25, 2010 5:49 pm US/Pacific
