Do you ever feel guilty just looking at your real fur products? Can you just picture the sad puppy dog eyes like the ones you see on those animal cruelty videos with the heart-wrenching, tear-inducing Sarah McLachlan song?

Buffalo Exchange is doing something cool to try and at least partially make up for it. They're giving you a chance at repentance by allowing you to return fur back to the animals.

Starting on Tuesday, Jan. 15, and going through Earth Day on Monday, April 22, Buffalo Exchange will be accepting real fur apparel donations (including trims, accessories, coats and shearlings) to benefit the Coats for Cubs program. For the program, used furs are used by rehabilitation programs across the country to provide comfort to orphaned and injured wildlife. Condition of the products are unimportant.

Done annually since 2006, the Buffalo Exchange has so far collected a total of 7,572 used furs for the Coats for Cubs program.
