"Zappos, an online retailer, knows about the suffering that goes into every fur-trimmed garment or accessory, but the company continues to contribute to that suffering by using fur. With so many fashionable, comfortable alternatives available today, there is no excuse for Zappos.com to continue using the fur of tortured animals in its designs.

Animals killed for their fur spend their entire lives exposed to all weather conditions in cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods—including suffocation, electrocution, gassing, and poisoning—and these often ineffective methods sometimes leave animals still conscious when they are skinned.

Please join us in urging Zappos.com to follow the lead of other designers and retailers—including Nike, Kenneth Cole, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew, Gap, Stella McCartney, and others—who have already adopted permanent fur-free policies."
