Comments: I am very disappointed in Giorgio Armani's failure to sustain a no-fur policy. In the 2007 Time magazine article, "A Standing O for Lacroix," Mr. Armani states, "I spoke with the people from PETA and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur." Yet recent Armani collections feature fur-trimmed jackets and skirts, floral-pattern fur coats, and even fur adorned baby snowsuits. A "little fur trim" is a lot of suffering and death. In fact, your use of rabbit skins is so offensive, I'm inclined to boycott Armani lines until all dead animals are eliminated. Rabbits farmed for their fur or meat are squeezed inside tiny wire cages that cut into their non-padded paws. Before slaughter, many perish from dehydration, starvation or self-mutilation. Killers break necks and bludgeon skulls - smashing live rabbits against walls - before stringing rabbits by their legs to behead them. Fur is stripped from their bodies in full view of other living rabbits. All fur-bearing animals are killed as cheaply as possible. Pelts are often derived from genital electrocution. The killer delivers a 240-volt blast of electricity into an animal's rectum. The conscious, convulsing animal endures a heart attack for two or more minutes. Sometimes animals are "neck-popped," injected with pesticides, or asphyxiated with carbon monoxide from unfiltered engine exhaust. No matter how you market it, fur is synonymous with violence and death. I encourage you to join Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Stella McCartney, Todd Oldham and other popular fur-free designers. Please notify me when Giorgio Armani is serious about cruelty-free fashion. Thank you,
