Victoria's Secret is cleaning out the skeletons in its closet catalogue. Thanks to a new policy by parent company Limited Brands, Victoria's Secret and lingerie line La Senza will no longer sell exotic animal skins.

PETA's undercover video footage has detailed the cold-blooded suffering that's caused by the international exotic-skins trade, so it's no longer any secret that snakes, crocodiles, lizards, kangaroos, and other animals are cruelly killed for their skins.

All that pain for a python purse or a croc clutch? Get real! I'll stick with fashion accessories that have a killer look but don't kill. And you can too: Pledge to shed any exotic skins in your own closet today!

Toby Saunders "That is so totally awesome. I wonder if the decision was to save money an act of kindness or to make money from the Animal Rights crowd... or some combination." Who cares? Let us Rejoice the Win of Peta! Woot D

What is it that makes people want to wear skin that did not belong to them in the first place. All furs and other skins should be removed from all fashions so the animals can live naturally in their own element. To wear these skins is sickening to me.

Thanks Victoria Secret! We shouldn't stop here! This should be motivation to get other huge companies to stop using animal fur!

I'm so glad to hear Victoria's Secret and Limited Brands are going animalfree. I heard some of the models are vegetarians like Adriana Lima! If only they would both go sweatshop free too! Then more people like me would love them even more.
