Fwd: TELL LONDON FOG TO FORGET THE FUR

[Guest guest]

London Fog's fall collection has taken an ugly turn this year, towards the sale of fur and fur-trimmed garments. London Fog's new line of fall coats features the use of mink and fox fur, representing a disturbing departure from the company's past, exclusively fur-free fashions. As a leading retailer of outerwear and as a fashion trendsetter, London Fog's decision to integrate animal fur -- the product of inexcusable cruelty -- into its wardrobes sets a terrible precedent and represents the suffering and deaths of untold numbers of animals. Every full-length fur coat requires the deaths of at least 18 foxes, 40 mink or 40 rabbits. Each and every one of these animals suffers a terrible death. Wild-caught fur animals can linger endlessly in the grip of a steel-jawed leghold trap before being clubbed to death or suffocated by the trapper. Animals on fur farms suffer equally horrendous deaths when

they are anally or genitally electrocuted, after spending a lifetime enclosed in barren, wire cages.WHAT YOU CAN DO:Contact London Fog executives and urge them to discontinue all fur and fur-trimmed items from their clothing line.
