Ready for even more good news? HSN has also agreed to donate any furry items leftover at the end of the year to PETA so that we can use them in our anti-fur campaign.
Way to go, HSN!
Although dozens of companies have adopted fur-free policies—including Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and the Gap—some callous companies still insist on using the fur of tortured animals to make their products. One of these companies is ShopNBC. Take a few seconds (literally, like 10 seconds) to send ShopNBC an automated message urging them to follow HSN's lead by dropping fur once and for all.

Way to Go HSN!
The more company's who go no fur, the less fur will be sold and fewer animals will suffer and die.
This is very good news, go Vegan.
Thank You PETA, keep up the great work!

Dear PETA:
After watching your hidden videos on the fur industry, I was left stunned and extremely depressed. Soon afterward, a friend called me, bragging about how her boyfriend was going to buy her a chinchilla coat for her birthday. I sighed and almost told her about what I had watched on PETA, but I stopped myself. I had to think of a way to drive the point home and into her head. I decided I had to trick her. I told her, "Oh Wow! I am so jealous! Before you buy anything, though, you have to look at the this site; it has the best and most beautiful chinchilla ever!" She gladly went to the website, hoping to view some magnificent fur; instead it was PETA's video on the Chinchilla fur farms and how the coats are made. She gasped and yelled at me,"I cannot watch this!" But she never asked for a chinchilla fur again. Maybe PETA needs to trick the wealthy into watching because they continue to turn a blind eye to this animal massacre. Thank you PETA for making people aware of this revolting trade.

Next, ShopNBC needs to stop selling fur. Their hostesses glorify fur, especially Charlene.
Great news about HSN!!!

I'm so happy to see this! Awesome.
I contacted ShopNBC a couple years ago about selling fur, they're response completely irked me! Basically they said: We don't condone fur, we just sell it.

I am so happy to learn HSN is going to no longer sell fur. About two years ago I wrote them a letter stating I would never shop them again if they do not stop selling fur. I received no response. I have not shopped there since, maybe now I can.
I have never shopped NBC and now I have a reason to never shop them.

Did anyone see Madonna's chinchilla fur? Saw it in a magazine, said it took several animals to make her one coat. Truly sickening, she knows better. Same with her hunting quail or whatever, saw a photo of her shooting birds with a gun. She makes me sicker now than years ago when she was just a cheap exhibitionist.
Instead of maturing into a decent woman, she's what no one should want to be rich or not. Selfish bitch can't see beyond what she thinks is impressing people and showing off, instead of doing good things and helping animals with her wealth.
