An animal rights group on Friday accused Macy's of selling a coat
with a real animal fur collar even though it was advertised as fake fur.

The
Humane Society of the United States said a $237.99 Sean John Hooded
Snorkel Jacket for sale on Macy's Web site was described as having an
"imitation rabbit fur collar."

But the group said when it
purchased the coat, the label read "Made in China" and "genuine raccoon
fur." The group said it is testing the fur to see if it is from a
raccoon dog, a type of dog raised in China whose fur resembles that of
a raccoon.
