This pressure, along with a tremendous outcry from J.Crew's own customers, who were shocked to see that the retailer was supporting the violent and bloody fur industry, paid off on November 30, 2005, when J.Crew confirmed that it will no longer sell fur." -- http://furisdead.com/feat-jcrewvictory.asp Thanks to everyone who showed up at our Saturday celebration: http://gallery.vegcrew.net/uarc051203 And to those who came to previous demonstrations in front of J.Crew.
