Burton Snowboards Goes Fur-Free July 31, 2007

Less than two months after peta2 put out a call for phone calls and e-mails from Street Teamers, MySpace and Facebook friends, and other concerned people around the world, Burton Snowboards has committed to going fur-free. Thank you all for voicing your opposition to the fur industry and for supporting companies that take a stand against slaughtering animals for their fur! Burton prides itself on being environmentally conscious, so it's great to see them extending their consideration to animals who are often beaten, drowned, or electrocuted to death on fur farms.

With Burton replacing its fur trim items with fake fur, the extreme sports community is even stronger than ever in uniting against cruelty to animals! In fact, to our knowledge, none of the major apparel companies in the snowboarding community uses real fur, including Ride, DC Shoes, and Volcom. To pledge your personal commitment to going fur-free, please sign the fur-free pledge here. Thanks to everyone for helping with this campaign!
