Following the news that Condé Nast has announced it will no longer feature new animal fur in any of its global editorial content or advertising, please find below a statement from PETA President Tracy Reiman:

“Vogue has finally gotten the ‘fur is dead’ memo. PETA started the movement against the atrociously cruel fur industry back in the 90s, leading to top designers shedding fur, and filthy fur factory farms shutting down on a global scale. Now, it’s time for publishers, designers, and retailers to evolve beyond featuring and promoting leather, too, as animal skins are nothing more than hairless fur also stolen from animals who suffer and die in hideously cruel ways.”

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to wear or abuse in any other way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
