New York –

It’s official: Fur is dead. No kind shopper will wear it, no trendsetting designer will use it, no major fashion magazine will feature it, and now New York Fashion Week won’t show it. This is a win for many thousands of wonderful animals and for the tens of thousands of PETA supporters who rallied for this ban, with the next step being for NYFW to ban all skins, as no animal deserves to be bludgeoned, electrocuted, and their own coats stolen off their bodies for a belt or a bag.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
