Victory: J. Crew Promises "No More Fur!"

Thanks to each and every one of you who signed the petition, handed out leaflets, called the CEO to tell him how horrified you were that the company was selling fur, and otherwise helped the cause. After just 11 short weeks, this pressure has paid off. On November 30, J.Crew confirmed that it will no longer sell fur?no fur garments, no fur trim, no fur anything. Joining the ranks of top fashion retailers H&M, Forever 21, and others that have adopted fur-free policies, J.Crew is sending a powerful message to the clothing industry that subjecting rabbits, coyotes, foxes, and other animals to horrible lives and torturous deaths will not be tolerated.

In light of this exciting agreement, please dispose of any J.Crew campaign materials that you have, and please stop contacting the company.

I am continuing my Boycott of JCrew through this holiday season.

J.Crew has refused to follow the example of top fashion retailers H&M, Forever 21, Gap, Banana Republic, American Eagle, & Aeropostale in adopting fur-free policies. J.Crew stands idly by while rabbits, coyotes, foxes, and other animals suffer through horrible lives and torturous deaths.

To kill rabbits, fur farmers break the animals? necks, smash their skulls, or use vaginal or anal electrocution to kill them before stringing them up by their legs to cut off their heads. Some are even skinned alive. Other animals watch as this horrific violence is taking place. A recent investigation into fur farms uncovered shocking cruelty, including skinning animals alive, then throwing the still-conscious animals onto a pile of those who had gone before them. Some lay there dying for up to 10 minutes, still blinking, their hearts beating visibly beneath their exposed flesh.

Damn straight. Stupid hippies. I was at Costco for lunch yesterday and this dude sitting a table away from me was eating a chicken caesar salad. So I was eating my combo pizza and then something occured to me, the damn hippie picked out all the chicken strips. WTF? So I walked over asked him for the chicken to put on my pizza.

Well, I've never bought anything from them before, but I don't care whether or not they sell fur.

Fascist! Why do you hate Thumper? :|


;)


Seriously, though. Unless you're an Inuit or the Queen of Sweden why do you need to wear fur?

Boycotting Jcrew would probably more effective if no one made any posts about it at all...

Me to. Thought we had us a little Hitler in the forums.

As for the anti fur BS. When animals stop wearing fur and leather so will I. Until then I will continue to drap myself in their skins and eat their yummy innards.

J.Crew needs to invest in some really sharp hatchets ... It is a far more efficient way to kill small woodland creatures than anal electrocution. :evil:

Disturbing pictures

Ummm, rabbits have no real predators anymore because we have cleared too much forests to keep the predators alive. No cougars or wolves anymore.

Rabbits procreate like mad, and without predators become hugely overpopulated. This happens to deer as well. That is why certain areas have such long open seasons for deer hunting.

This goes for cats and dogs as well. But in this society there is not much to do, other than to euthenize them.

My point is that there are a lot of other factors to take into account then the "fur is wrong" mantra. <sigh>
