And what's more disturbing?
Some figurines are made out of cat and dog fur! Caution is needed when buying 'furry' figurines b/c the dog/cat name is disguised!

I've steered clear from those since I found that out. However one day while at a Hallmark--out of curiousness--I picked up one of the furry figurines. Indeed it was under one of the pseudonyms! I was sickened!!! (Gae wolf was what this figurine was labeled.)

The pseydonyms for dog fur include:
Asian Jackal
Gae-wolf
Kou-Pi
Sobaki
Pommern Wolf
China Wolf
Gou-pee
Asiatic Raccoon Dog
Loup d'Asie
Dogues du Chine

Here's a link for the figurines I'm talking about: Fatal Figurines
