1. The Humane Society of the United States when it tried to sic the Federal Trade Commission on Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman for alleged false advertising and mislabeling of fur, reports WWD. According to the petition the Humane Society filed, Neiman's and Bergdorf's have been hawking $1,500 Manolo Blahnik boots trimmed with "cava fur" and "natural ocelot fur." Just two problems: There's no such thing as cava fur, and it's illegal to sell ocelot fur because the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service classifies the animal as an endangered species.1
