MOSS TARGETED BY ANIMAL RIGHTS PROTESTERS

Supermodel KATE MOSS has been slammed by animal rights groups after fronting a campaign for British fashion house Burberry containing animal fur. Among the protestors, the World Society for the Protection of Animals has written to the catwalk beauty enclosing video footage of fur farming. The organisation's director says, "I've written in the hope that she will think twice before wearing or advertising fur in the future." However, a spokesperson for Burberry insists the Moss campaign was as humane as possible and adds, "There will be occasions where the use of fur will be... important to the design and aesthetics of a product. "We will not use fur if there is a serious concern that the fur has been produced by the unacceptable treatment of the animals concerned."

It's appalling to see these "stars" still wearing fur, after they have repeatedly been made aware of the problems associated with the Chinese fur trade and the ethical problems with supporting it. According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), "Millions of dogs and cats [including pets] are slaughtered every year for the [Chinese] fur trade." China 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), Abercrombie and Fitch, Olan Mills, and U.K.'s most highly respected fashion chain Topshop, have all stopped selling fur after seeing the Chinese Fur Trade videos. This is not an issue that concerns only animal rights advocates. The cruelty is so horrendous that mainstream citizens are climbing onboard this boycott. Anyone even thinking about wearing fur has an obligation to seek out information about where the fur comes from. They should go to the Humane Society web site or the Fur Is Dead website and view the short videos. Why do some people continue to think fur is stylish? Are we still living in the stone age? http://tinyurl.com/8xc58 http://www.furisdead.com/feat-dogcatfur.asp ----------------------------------------------
