Despite knowing about the suffering that goes into every fur-trimmed coat, hat, and bag, Donna Karan has made the cruel decision to use the skins of dead rabbits in her clothing lines.

Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages, and fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available. Foxes, minks, coyotes, and rabbits—and even dogs and cats—are bludgeoned, genitally electrocuted, and often skinned alive for their fur.

One of the best ways that you can help animals who are beaten and tortured for their fur is to tell Donna Karan executives that you’ll boycott the designer’s collections until she stops using fur. Many top designers—including Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Liz Claiborne—have chosen to create wonderful work without using animal fur.

Speak out against the killing of animals for their skins. Write to Donna Karan International and urge the company to dump fur for good.

2. Background | From PETA

DSW Inc. refuses to stop selling shoes made with animal fur, despite the fact that PETA has repeatedly explained to company executives that animals on fur farms live in cramped, filthy conditions before they are bludgeoned, electrocuted, and sometimes even skinned alive. Animals who are trapped in the wild may suffer for days before trappers arrive to crush their chests, stomp on them, or beat them to death.

DSW lags behind other fashion-industry leaders who have dumped fur, such as Foot Locker, Gap Inc., JCPenney, Steve Madden, H&M, and Limited Brands, Inc.

Millions of animals who are cruelly trapped, farmed, and killed for their fur every year around the world, and they need your help now. Please politely write to DSW and demand that it join other top retailers that have dumped fur.

Please send a message to DSW’s CEO, Michael R. MacDonald, and urge him to end DSW’s sale of fur immediately and implement a fur-free policy.

    UNA DE LAS ATROCIDADES MAS CRUENTAS Y CRUELES QUE HACE EL SER HUMANO CON LOS ANIMALES , ES ARRANCARLES LA PIEL . JAMÁS HE COMPRADO , NI COMPRARE NADA A NINGUN DISEÑADOR QUE USE PIEL DE ANIMALES EN SUS DISEÑOS .

    After seeing this, I laugh my ass off to think of jews getting theirs at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Sobibor, Belsen and all the other, lesser known, concentration camps – you listening, jew Donna Karan?? THIS is the kind of suffering DECENT species go through for the likes of subhumans like you!! Know what I`m going to do when I finish this little love-letter to you? I`m going to research Heinrich Himmler`s birthday and celebrate it every year, and if the world ever comes to its senses and goes ahead with the Second Final Solution, you can bet your jew ass I`ll fight and kill to be made the second Heinrich Himmler – and I`ll make the first one seem like Mother Goose!! Have a nice day, I`m thinking of you always.. Sieg Heil!!

    PS Hint: If someone is of der jude, they need to conduct themselves VERY circumspectly if they do not wish their fellow juden to be tarred with the same brush, and treated accordingly!! Think about it – alles juden are judged by what YOU do!!
