3. Tell GUESS to Stop Selling Fur Let clothing retailer know that cruelty to animals is always out of fashion Leading fashion retailers like J.Crew, Jones Apparel, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ann Taylor have all made the compassionate decision to go fur-free. So the question is, what keeps GUESS behind the style curve supporting animal abuse and torture? The majority of fur-bearing animals are raised on fur mills in wire cages stacked in long rows. Large mills hold up to 100,000 animals. Trapped in cages, wild animals like mink, chinchilla, raccoon, lynx and foxes are removed from their natural habitat and denied their most basic natural behaviors. After a lifetime of imprisonment, they are killed painfully. So as not to damage the animals' valuable pelts, farmers commonly break their necks or insert an electrified rod in the anus or vagina, literally frying animals from the inside out. The millions of fur-bearing animals caught in the wild fare no better. Many are caught in spring traps that smash bone and crush muscle and hold animals in place until a trapper comes along to kill them. This can take days, during which time trapped animals linger in excruciating pain without food or water and are vulnerable to attacks by predators. About one quarter of trapped animals escape by chewing their own limbs off. Many "trash" animals also die in traps, including companion dogs and cats and non-target wildlife (some that are endangered). By now, GUESS executives should know that most consumers are appalled that they continue selling fur. IDA's Southern California Campaign Coordinator Bill Dyer joined other activists on Wednesday, May 9th at a demonstration outside of the GUESS, Inc. annual shareholders' meeting in Beverly Hills to let the company know that selling fur tarnishes their "All-American" image and will cost them business. If you think GUESS should get with the times and stop selling the products of cruelty, let them know. What You Can Do: "Take Action" to politely urge GUESS to stop selling fur (http://ga0.org/campaign/guess/ws38buxr2xxdiw6?). Also follow up with a phone call, email, or letter to the company (www.guess.com/CustomerCare/Help.aspx). Thank you Vin-Pol for taking action against the cruel fur industry. :badger: Woooooooooo!!!!!!! This is a brutal video exposing the corruption of the Chinese fur trade. Warning, graphic content.
