What do you expect when you outsource to Communist China? Goods made under American standards? Open your eyes.
Anyone remember the story earlier this year about Koreans in L.A. running a dog adoption agency?
Taking people's pets under the guise of finding them loving homes then selling them to restaurants?
Ahhh... multiculturalism. Let's embrace it, shall we? Hell, let's let everyone in!

I DARE YOU TO GO HERE TO SEE THE WAY DOGS ARE TREATED IN CHINA

The more we outsource manufacturing to other countries, the less we will be living by our own standards. The more we will be condoning practices such as these... and others like slave labor, child labor and all the things we stand against in this country.Or, we can call it "diversity" or "fair trade" and look the other way while big business embraces it and rolls in obscene profits.

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."
