Stop J. Crew from torturing and killing animals for their fur!

Have you ever thought about whose skin you're wearing? Think about it. If you've bought anything with fur from J. Crew, you could be wearing dog, cat, mink, or raccoon, and that's just a few species of the victims.

From this skinned coyote-

To these ugly, tacky shoes-

J. Crew stores have introduced fur products such as fur boots, shoes, and coats.  In order to get the fur, they buy from fur farms that violently abuse and torture their victims.  They set painful traps.  Underwater traps kill beavers by drowning them.  Other traps cause animals to dehydrate and starve to death.  If the animal is lucky enough to survive the traps, his luck is over.  The victim is then taken to the fur farm and stuffed in an extremely small cage with more animals already inside it.  Many of these animals are driven insane by the captivity they experience.  They aren't used to cages seeing as how they were taken out of the wild.  They pace frantically and sometimes eat their cagemates.  When the animal is chosen to be skinned, they are dragged out of their cages and outside, where the skinning takes place.  Usually, if the animal is lucky, they are painfully electrocuted and killed before they are skinned.  But in most cases, their necks are broken, leaving them fully conscious for the skinning process.  The animal's fur is then literally ripped of. 

What happens to the animal?  The animal is then thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before it, which can be up to 50 animals in one pile.  Most animals are still alive, in extremely agonizing pain.  They live through this pain for almost 15 minutes.

If you have any heart whatsoever, you will sign this petition to stop J. Crew from supporting this gruesome industry.

If you really want to stop this disgusting practice, you will also state your reasons for signing this petition.  All comments will help persuade J. Crew even more.
