Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi Vegans, I have written a letter to Newport News womans fashion catalog. They usually bombard my mailbox with lots of catalogs. but upon seeing some rabbit items such as a shawl ? spelling? I wrote them a letter and this is their reply. I urge everyone to write them an email, just a short one will do. to them numbers matter... maybe if enough people write...
