Well, after several personal e-mails to Urban Outfitters' CEO followed by a PETA action alert, I'm happy to report that just a few months—and a few thousand e-mails—later, Urban Outfitters has become fur-free! In an e-mail I received from the company late last week, a representative wrote, "[T]here is no fur in our stores, and this will continue to be the case."
Kudos to Urban Outfitters for making this compassionate decision, and kudos to all our great supporters who help us win victories for animals by participating in campaigns like this one.
Unfortunately, not all companies are as easily convinced. We sure could use your help persuading Macy's to go fur-free.

Finally, I love that store. Knowing it doesnt sell fur there now actually makes it so much easier to shop at.

First of, YAY for Urban Outfitters! I knew I loved them for a reason... <3<3<3
And now...OMG! As a soon-to-be former Macy's employee I cannot tell you how much it absolutely outrages me that a department store company as large as that could still indulge in such dirty business. Macy's really needs to hold itself to higher standards, or else it will be laying off another 7,000 employess very soon - and hopefully Terry Blood-gren will be one of them!

Thx sooooooooo much because now I feel completely safe going there

Kudos Peta and Urban Outfitters.
I don't know if it's just me, but when I sign the petitions lately, I'm not getting a confirmation/send to a friend, just bouncing back to sign the petition page.
