BOSTON — A group of Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish leaders is urging luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton to stop using animal fur in its clothing and other products.

In a joint statement, Orthodox Christian priest Stephen Karcher, Hindu activist Rajan Zed, Jewish rabbi ElizaBeth Webb Beyer and Buddhist priest Matthew Fisher said selling items trimmed with fur is inconsistent with the ethics and values of parent company Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

“Louis Vuitton should explore new boundaries of fur-free creative design and discontinue selling all products made from animal fur,” the clerics said Thursday, calling the trend “cruel, outdated and unnecessary.”

One of the oldest maxims in business is (1) Determine what your intended customer wants and (2) Make those goods available at a fair price.

Screw the one issue people.

So fur is bad but leather is ok.

Some people need to be repeatedly beaten with clue sticks.

Polyester?

Know how many dinosaurs had to die to make one polyester shirt? Pants? Suit?

Nothing is warmer than a real fur coat or jacket.

(But some of the ‘faux furs’ make a good second.)

Large chain store has associates wearing vests that each claim “8 plastic water bottles were recycled to make this vest”. I’m telling you that that’s a lie, because i saw one grizzly sized Pat or Bobbie where the vest took at least two dozen to make, and it still didn’t close in the front. Just sayin’.

"First they came for the $27,000 Louis Vuitton furs, and I said nothing, because I'm not frickin' payin' $27,000 for a frickin' muffler...
