Online seller accused of selling dog fur as bear rug for $950

An online seller is facing accusations of misrepresenting a product as natural bear fur, with consumers alleging it is actually dog fur. The item, marketed as a "natural bear fur rug" with a price tag of 1.3 million won (approximately $950), has sparked widespread suspicion online.

The seller advertised the rug on a secondhand trading platform, describing it as adding warmth and luxury to any space with its soft texture and elegant design. However, online commenters quickly pointed out discrepancies, with many asserting that the fur's appearance, especially the tail, is inconsistent with that of a bear.

Several users who claimed to have seen bear fur products stated that the rug in question could not possibly be from a bear. They suggested it might be made from the fur of breeds like Border Collies or Golden Retrievers. Further doubts were cast on the legitimacy of the sale, as bear fur products typically require accompanying documentation, which was reportedly absent in this case. Some commenters urged for the matter to be reported to the police and animal protection organizations.
