I was in China several times and once visited the 'labor camps' where these cotton products are made. The dorms that the workers live in you wouldn't let your dog stay there. The workers are paid only several dollars a day. It is truely horrible. And.......that goes on thru out the whole far east, India and many other third world countries.
I just heard a radio program today: the guest speaker was a member of congress. He has started a web site so you can discover what products are made with child and SLAVE labor. He said jewelry, cosmetics and cotton goods are the hardest to track the sources. I'll have to see if I can find the site and post it.........!
