Oct. 7th, 2005 10:17 amLane Bryant, which is one of few widely available fat grrrl clothing stores, has taken to selling fox fur. I am really, really not down with the production & sale of new fur, and I sent a message to say so.
( They send me this response. They send everyone I know who wrote to say this the exact same response. )
Wait, I thought fur was a fashion disaster from the eighties? Since when is cruelty "fashion forward"? I mean, I realize I wear some leather shoes, and I certainly eat a share of meat, but wearing fur isn't simply being too lazy to respect animal life - it's going out of your way to be mean. Unless you kill your animal, eat it and then wear its skin.
Even if your gender, size or taste keeps you from shopping there no matter what, would you consider contacting them? I'd really really really like it for Lane Bryant to be inundated with anti-fur letters.
