Why J.Crew?

In the past, J.Crew assured PETA that the company did not sell products made of animal fur. When PETA learned in the summer of 2005 that J.Crew intended to start carrying fur in the fall, we immediately tried to contact J.Crew about this discovery, but the company refused to speak with us directly or to confirm any information about its fall product line. Since then, PETA has contacted J.Crew officials repeatedly and sent them video footage of animals on fur farms being skinned alive for their fur to show them why consumers are infuriated to find products made of fur on the stores’ racks. But J.Crew has refused to follow the example of top fashion retailers H&M, Forever 21, and others that have adopted fur-free policies. J.Crew stands idly by while rabbits, coyotes, foxes, and other animals suffer through horrible lives and torturous deaths. What is J.Crew waiting for?

Like all animals raised for their fur, the animals slaughtered for J.Crew clothes are kept in tiny, filthy cages, surrounded by their own waste. They spend their entire miserable lives standing on thin wires, never having a chance to dig, jump, or play. To kill rabbits, fur farmers break the animals’ necks, smash their skulls, or use vaginal or anal electrocution to kill them before stringing them up by their legs to cut off their heads. Some are even skinned alive. Other animals watch as this horrific violence is taking place.
