Per PETA, HSN has adopted a new and permanent fur-free policy. HSN will also donate all leftover furry items to PETA at the end of the year for use in their anti-fur campaign.
In a letter to PETA, HSN CEO Mindy Grossman wrote, "We and the customers of HSN share your concern about the treatment of animals in the making of fur products. As such, we no longer purchase any product that uses real fur, a strict policy that went into effect in the first quarter of this year."
ShopNBC, of course, refuses to give up the fur. If you are against the use of fur, take a few seconds to send ShopNBC an automated message urging them to follow HSN's lead by dropping fur once and for all.
I don't always agree with PETA's tactics, but I love animals and agree with them on this ... fake fur is fabulous! Come on, even Joan Rivers gave up real fur!
Go HSN!!!!!

Just found this post. I'm sad that SNBC still has real fur (Cedric) and hope they will be rid of it soon. I thought I saw fur on HSN recently--I'll have to check and report back.
