In response to a request from PETA, DirectBuy, which had been selling fur coats, hats, and wraps, has agreed to remove all the fur from its catalogs. DirectBuy is the nation’s largest franchiser of members-only consumer buying centers with 149 showrooms across the U.S. and Canada (thank you, Wikipedia), so that’s a whole lot of fur not being sold anymore. If you see what I mean. Hooray!

Thanks, PETA!
I wish you could do something about fur lovers in Japan. I'm Japanese-Aussie and shocked to see so many girls are wearing fur!
On fashion magasines, on TV,
in shops, fur is everywhere.
I really hope that those girls get to know the fact about fur and stop wearing it!

This is just fantastic.
Great work.
Now we have to ask Donna Karan to stop using fur again.
As Jack says, please ask nicely.
