Rabbit . . . The New Fun Fur
by Nancy LaRoche
“Rabbit . . . the new fun fur” is a marketing slogan that I’ve been hearing lately. Fun for whom? Certainly not the rabbit!! There has been a surge in popularity for clothing items made or trimmed with rabbit.
While shopping at Foleys recently, I found a poncho and scarf made from rabbit fur--dyed pink, no less! This just makes me sick.
Please boycott stores that sell fur items. Make your outrage known by writing a letter to the corporate office, and if you have a charge card for that store, destroy it and return it with your letter.
For information about anti-fur issues, visit FurIsDead.com. Currently, they're running a campaign that features the slogan, "Hands Off My Buns," and shows a beautiful model holding a darling white bunny. (Note: Some photos and posters on this website are quite difficult to view.)
