Stop the Fur Sales
Each year, more than 40 million animals are killed for their fur: mink, fox, bobcat, beavers, raccoon, lynx, chinchilla, coyote, fisher, marten, muskrat, opossum, otter, skunk, weasel -%u2014 the list goes on and on. Each piece of fur trim represents an animal who suffered and died; a full coat represents many animals. There is no reason to kill animals for fashion, and many reasons not to.
Animals suffer for days in steel-jawed leg-hold traps before being killed by one of a variety of methods: standing on their chests to crush their lungs, shooting them, clubbing them, stabbing them, or by other equally cruel methods.
Thousands of animals, referred to by the fur industry as %u201Ctrash animals,%u201D are caught in traps every year, including birds, reptiles, squirrels, dogs, cats and sometimes even children. Cat, dog, and rabbit fur is commonly used as trim on many garments. It takes the following number of animals to make one 40-inch coat: 16 coyote, 18 lynx, 60 mink, 45 opossum, 20 otter, 42 red fox, 40 raccoon, 50 sable, 8 seal, 50 muskrat and 15 beaver. This doesn't count the number of trash animals also killed in the process.

Please stop , have a heart !
poor animals what they ever did to you...put yourself in this position, this is ridiculous people dont have nothing to wear no more or what? everyone who wears fur is an idiot...thats taking away life t so many innocent animals, that has to stop!
Ladies get a grip! Wearing a fur is NOT going to make your ugliness any more beautiful. How about purses from a fetus or small children...there are plenty of unwanted children in the world...lets club a few for you.
OTHER ANIMALS NEED THEIR FUR, YOU JERKS. STOP SELLING FUR!! I HOPE THE FUR INDUSTRY CRASHES!!
There is nothing beautiful about cruelty to animals.
STOP KILLING POOR ANIMALS FOR FUR IS EVIL!
Fur is so CRUEL!!!!!! Those people who wear fur look so UGLY and they need to realize their torturing helpless animals. I wonder if they would like to be skinned by animals and then the animals wear their skin then that would probably stop them from wearing fur. STOP WEARING FUR!!!!!

"From Beasts we scorn as soulless in forests field and den, The cry goes up to witness, The soulessness of men." - M. Frida Hartley........... "The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality." -Arthur Shopenhauer......... "Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." -Thomas A. Edison........... "Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, Man will not himself find peace." -Dr. Albert Schweitzer............ "The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men." -Emile Zola.............. "The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality." -Arthur Shopenhauer............. "If you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed or tortured, then you shouldn't condone such behavior towards anyone, be they human or not." -Moby.............. "We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." -Immanuel Kant
Fur is evil and should have gone out of fashion when the human race learned about the magical cotton tree. The way that fur is harvested is more brutal and unessacary then the meat industry. Animals being murdered for an ugly and expensive coat is a waste of time money and life
BE KIND TO ANIMALS!!!!!
The use of animals for fur fashions is outdated and unethical in today's world.
This is a disgusting and repulsive idea, of wearing fur! Who, in good conscience, could put on their body such a ghastly piece of clothing? This has got to stop and I think now is too late!
stop killing animals for fur.
