Fur Industry Debate
Comment: <<The Raccoon Dog is
really not a dog at all, so why all the outrage?>>
Using the species lineage, the
domestic dog is as follows:
Family: Canidae ~~>
Caninae ~~> True dogs~~> Genus Canis~~>Canis lupus ~~> Canis
lupus Familiaris (Dog)
Using the same species lineage, the Raccoon Dog is as follows:
Family: Canidae ~~>
Caninae ~~> Basal Caninae ~~> Genus Nyctereutes (Raccoon Dog)
Using this logic would be the
same as stating the Honda Civic is not a form of transportation:
Mode of Transportation
~~> Air ~~> Commercial aircraft ~~> Boeing 747
~~> Land ~~> Car ~~> Honda ~~> Civic
~~> Land ~~> Rail ~~> Passenger Train
~~> Sea ~~> Ocean Liner ~~> Carnival Cruises
