Guess it isn't so fake after all!

Marc Jacobs jackets that are sold at Century 21 actually use dog hair, not the faux fur the company claims to use!

Despite the labels that claim the fur is fake, a independent probe from the Humane Society has found that the jackets material actually consists of the hair of Chinese raccoon dogs.

Here's what a representative of the Humane Society's Fur Free Campaign said:

“Anybody who doesn’t want to buy animal fur should be very angry that a product that they’re trying to avoid is being misrepresented as a product they may want to buy."

A video has been released from the Humane Society where they identify jackets that are labeled to contain "fake fur," but actually consist of the chinese dog hair material.

Ch-ch-check it out by watching it (above) !!!

We've been duped! We've been hoodwinked! Bamboozled!

Yesterday, a video of a defenseless baby being snatched up by an eagle exploded its viral juices all over the internet, with over two MILLION viewers watching the vid.

Well, turns out, it was all smoke and mirrors!

There is a letter going around the internet that is supposed to be from Ke$ha to Lady Gaga calling her out on wearing real fur.

This letter has been called "not legit" by Ke$ha's management team, saying she didn't write it, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Ke$ha LOOOOVES animals! She's the Humane Society's Global Ambassador!

The hoax (but still true) letter said:

"It upsets me to see you, a role model to many, especially those who are fashion forward would openly endorse such a cruel and inhumane practice. Animals are skinned and tortured for hours in order to make the fur that you, and other individuals of the upper class, lavishing wear around proudly."

The letter then begs Gaga to change her ways, saying:

"I can not begin to explain the amount of torture, harm and cruelty that is used when handling these animals that are ultimately killed for your pleasure. I hope this note has struck a chord with you and you strongly reconsider your decision to wear fur again."

Again, we know the letter is fake but everything it says still rings true.

Wearing fur is wrong and cruel and should not be done by ANYONE.

Especially someone others might consider a role model.

TAKE OFF THE FUR!

We feel sick.

Fake Chinese Uggs are made by literally skinning raccoon dogs alive.

The animals are smashed into the ground, which we can assume is to try and stun them though it doesn't appear to do anything since they're fighting and writing around the whole time.

Then their skin is literally peeled off their bodies as they struggle, unable to do anything.

Once their skin is completely gone they are just tossed into a pile, still alive, waiting to die in agony.

And that's how Chinese knock-off Uggs are made.

There is a video of all of this actually happening on camera on youtube that we are NOT including because we couldn't make it past the 15 second mark of it's over six minute run time.

Don't buy fake Uggs.
