Yay! To Slamming Real Fur
I love your message of not be cruel to be cool. It shows to people that they don't have wear a real animal's coat to be "in," but that they can fake the real look. This is totally cool. Cruelty is not right and I think you should publish more articles like this. Thanx -O.S. (Linclon Park, MI)

I agree that killing animals for their fur is creepy--and I get frustrated with fur lovers claiming it's their "right" to wear fur. I'm not sure where in the Constitution it refers to the "right" to pay a lot of money to have someone else torture animals.
The Constitution allows freedom of expression so they have the "right" to look like haggard, heartless hookers--and I guess I have the right to tell 'em so.
Thanks for being warm and fuzzy to animals.-K.B. (Seattle, WA)

I just recently read your article titled "Fake Fur Real Style," and I wanted to say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! So many "fashion" articles are completely ignorant of the torture and cruel deaths that over 41 million innocent creatures are being subjected to in order to put their skins on the backs of humans. Either that, or worse -- they just don't care. While fashion & style are important to me and most people, it's not so incredibly important that I would be willing to kill for it.
So, I just wanted to thank you for showing some compassion, and speaking up for the animals. You guys rock! - C. (Millbrae, CA)

Thanks from the 750,000 members of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and humane people everywhere for your cool warm-hearted article promoting fake fur over creepy, cruel real fur ("Fake Fur, Real Style" Dec. 1). We love your term "cool gone caring." Since much fake fur these days looks so much like real fur, anyone who wants to make sure people know it isn't can just pin a "NO FUR" button to their lapel and go on their merry way. The buttons are available at www.petacatalog.com.
For the animals, C.B. (Norfolk, Va.)

GO FAUX!!
To say I was thrilled with your article on faux fur is putting it mildly. How wonderful of you to remind people who may be considering buying clothing made of, or decorated with fur, or any other part of a once living, breathing, innocent creature that we don't need fur. We've come a long way since prehistoric man and woman. We don't need fur for warmth or beauty. When I see someone wearing it, yes, it is rather creepy. My faux fur hat is off to you Focus on Style! --M.D.(Lexington, MA)
