It's a sad day for me. One of my favorite stores is selling a fur wrap.
Urban Outfitters seems to think that since the fur they are peddling is vintage, that it's ok to sell it. They are so wrong! No matter how old a fur is, it's still a DEAD ANIMAL. And wearing vintage fur sends the same message as wearing fur produced more recently: that it is ok to stomp on, anally or vaginally electrocute, and skin animals alive for their fur. I'm not kidding. How could anyone do that to these animals?
Please tell Urban Outfitters that the sale of fur in their stores must be stopped! Take action now! And while you're at it, grab one of these beauties to show the world how you feel about fur:
PS - if you want the look of fur, go faux! It'll be much cuter than UO's tacky real fur collar.

UO has always sold leather; I don't know why fur is any worse! That is pretty disgusting though...

and anyway, that jacket looks like something I saw in a pantomime a few years back...
it says that item is no longer there. they took it off.

Posted by: Marta at December 19, 2008 11:59 AMI cannot believe that fur isnt dead yet.
It's so out of fashion omg.
WE CAN MAKE FAUX FUR.
ITS JUST AS GOOD!!!!
What if you have no coat and someone gives you a fur coat? Are you going to turn it away and freeze?
Posted by: Debra at December 19, 2008 7:11 PMNEVER shopping there again. ever. i didnt even know they sold fur at all.
Posted by: Ashley at December 20, 2008 10:27 AMfur is for animals and eskimos...period!
Posted by: cheryl at December 20, 2008 8:58 PMHow sad is it that people feel the need to wear animals like that? Even as short for cash as I am I go out of my way to look for Faux fur online or elsewhere, because it isnt in demand here. I urge others to adopt the No fur/ leather outlook on life that I have.

*sigh* When will companies learn that fur is disgusting and most consumers don't want to buy it.
I already have the anti-fur badge and I wear it proudly on my very warm, completely vegan, winter coat :o)
