Fur Season Hits Fashion Week (& Pinnacle Hits Them Back)
Published on September 13, 2011 by chloejo · 12 Comments
Fur means animals tortured, anally or vaginally electrocuted, and then skinned and chemically treated to make a coat that is (in this day and age) completely unnecessary. Want to know what arctic explorers wear in the ice cold? Synthetics! That’s right, you are more likely to win friends with fleece than fur! With all the fabulous alternatives to fur (um, Vaute Couture coats, anyone?) why on earth would a fashionista with a heart (aka a compassionista!) participate in a trend that is cruel and violent. If you love your dog, then make them earmuffs to match your fur coat – or don’t wear fur at all.
While fashion week in NYC is literally rolling in fur (even Louboutins runway shoes were covered in fur) a handsome young warrior named Joshua Katcher is blazing a trail, standing by at the fashion shows with his glitterati team of activists, all dressed to the nines giving out a free “fashion” magazine which seem to be like any trendy mag, large and hip, covered in models and fierce clothes… til you get to the inside of the publication and see this;

I would also like the one with the pink lettering. Any idea if that one’s available to purchase or just the black?
When will they get it ? Ever ?
There definitely are designers who have stopped using fur in favor of faux fur but they are too few and far between. There is NO justifiable reason to kill an animal in this day and age to keep ourselves warm. There are just too many alternatives. SHAME ON THEM !!
I would like to thank Joshua Katcher and his army for being warriors against this barbaric practice. There is NO EXCUSE for wearing fur!!
Peace & Love

Fur is so needed in winter.
fur is not cruel. poor children are dying and in other countries the only way people can make money is selling fur to support their families. whoever dislikes fur is just an ignorant dumb person. fake fur is for stupid people who stink
