PETA Declares Victory as Retail Giant J.Crew Yanks Fur From Its Racks

For 11 weeks, PETA supporters have hammered retailer J.Crew with demonstrations, letters, and phone calls, demanding that the chain stop selling fur. This pressure paid off on November 30, when J.Crew confirmed that it will pull fur from its stores and never sell it again. Most fur sold in the United States comes from China, where investigators found that fur farmers swing animals by their hind legs and smash their heads on the ground—breaking the animals’ necks or backs but leaving them panting, blinking, and conscious as they are skinned alive. So this is a huge victory for animals throughout the world, and we hope that you will celebrate with us!
