Help Fight Fatal Fashion

[Guest guest]

Every day, people working for greedy companies torture and kill animals so that others can wear the skin of dead rabbits, minks, foxes ... and yes, even cats and dogs.You can help stop the torture and slaughter of these wonderful animals by supporting PETA's work to stop the use of fur in fashion.On fur farms around the world, animals are treated so badly that they often go insane before being barbarically killed for their pelts. They are kept in cages so small that they can barely move. They are fed diets of slaughter remnants and often endure extreme weather conditions. They are then poisoned, suffocated, or electrocuted; some are even skinned alive for their fur.It's up to you and me to stop this outrage. By donating online to PETA today, you can put your gift to immediate use, helping us end the bloody fur trade. Millions of animals are being killed because some designers still insist on using real fur in their clothing lines—even though there are countless alternatives that are not only fashionable but also kind to animals.PETA is taking on the worst animal abusers in the fashion industry and compelling them to adopt fur-free policies. Already, we've successfully convinced Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, and others to adopt permanent no-fur policies. That adds up to a lot of saved animals.But there are holdouts. Some design houses, like Donna Karan, are still offering jackets with fur-trim hoods, coats lined with fur, and all kinds of apparel that uses animal skins. It's not just full-length fur coats that are the problem. Each hat, bag, jacket, and mitten trimmed or lined with fur is the product of the intense pain and the slaughter of rabbits, minks, or other animals.PETA has launched a new initiative to persuade Donna Karan to go permanently fur-free. When she agrees to stop designing clothes with real fur, we'll shift our efforts to the next offender. We'll keep up our anti-fur campaign until all animals are protected from those who harm them in the name of fashion.Please know that we can't do all this without the support of compassionate people like you. Please join PETA's fight to end the abuse of animals in the clothing industry. Your online tax-deductible gift today will help make sure that animal fur—and the suffering it causes-goes out of style forever.Kind regards,Ingrid E. NewkirkPresidentP.S. Thanks to PETA—and despite the fur industry's desperate rhetoric and expensive ads—fur is on its way out. Through consumer actions, high-profile demonstrations and media events, and careful negotiating, we are succeeding in putting intense pressure on fashion companies to permanently drop real fur from their designs. But these companies and the fur trade have deep pockets. Your support makes all the difference in the world and allows PETA to vigorously pursue our anti-fur work to stop the abuse of animals for fashion. Please support PETA today to help animals on fur farms save their skins. This message was sent to medresearch121.
