It's appalling that these 'stars' are still wearing fur, after they have repeatedly been made aware of the ethical problems associated with the Chinese fur trade.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, 'Millions of dogs and cats [including pets] are processed every year under horrendous conditions
[many skinned alive] and then slaughtered for the [Chinese] fur trade' which supplies more than half of the fur garments imported for sale into the United States. Dog and cat fur is deliberately mislabeled as fur
from other species so that it can be sold to unsuspecting Americans.

Everyone from Martha Stewart to Paul McCartney has denounced this fur, including some of the largest clothing retailers. J. Crew, Ann Taylor (who
has 740 stores in 45 states), Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie and Fitch, and U.K.'s most respected fashion chain Topshop, have all stopped selling fur after seeing the Fur Trade videos. Additionally, many stars who had previously worn fur, denounced it after seeing how it is
'produced.'

This is not an issue that concerns only animal rights advocates. Mainstream citizens are climbing onboard the boycott.

Anyone even thinking about wearing fur has a moral obligation to seek out information about the 'production' process and where the fur comes from.
They should go to the Humane Society web site or the link below and view the short videos before falling for the advertising hype urging them to buy fur.

In January, Care For the Wild, East International, and the Swiss Animal Protection released their wrenching findings from Fun Fur? A Report on the
Chinese Fur Industry. http://tinyurl.com/ag3jh
