Animal cruelty in the name of fashion

Along with bloody ShopNBC, there are some fashion designers who have distinguished themselves with their greed and cruelty. They will surely have spots in the Hall of Shame. Donna Karan has decided that making money is more important than keeping its promise to not use fur; it uses slaughtered rabbits. Carolina Herrera kills ewes and their unborn lambs, who die kicking and suffocating in their dying mother's womb, and uses their skins in the name of fashion. The bloody butcher of Madison Avenue, Dennis Basso, caters to a morally bankrupt clientele who get off on wearing the skins of murdered animals (I wonder how the greedy butchers get all that blood out?) Custo Barcelona and Zac Posen have made a commitment to animal suffering. I hope they get plenty of negative attention at Fashion Week!

Bloody fall fashion

Fashion Week is almost upon us, and some of the bloodiest barbers of the fur industry will be showing at their gaudy freak shows! See you there! It's always good for a laugh to see so many extreme facelifts, as my friend Santos has commented.

Retailers are going fur-free!

An important milestone...and more to come
The Humane Society of the United States has important news about its Fur-Free Designer and Retailer List. It has hit the 100-mark, with the recent addition of Overstock.com, and not long before, BCBG went fur-free. Great news!
Check this list often and make informed purchasing decisions.
Say no to ShopNBC, one of the more bloody purveyors of cruelty. It's even more despicable for the fraud it perpetrated on its customers, by reneging on its fur-free pledge. On the other hand, HSN just went fur-free!
