FURS AND CRUELTY
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] g,—I read the letter in the Spectator of November 15th, which was signed • " rforis 'Mary Armitage" with great in- terest, having endeavoured (like the writer) to make sure that the fur on a new winter coat should be made from a "
farmed" animal that had been humanely killed.
I was fortunate in finding an assistant who took personal trouble in seeing the furrier on the subject of" Home Farmed Lambs," but the range of certified furs is small at present and the artificial furs are not adequately brought forward.
Perhaps, in the near future, a company might be started which might make a speciality of selling articles made only from furs of humanely killed animals or from artificial furs ? I am sure that many people would flock to the showrooms if they had reason to feel absolutely certain that they were buying goods untainted by any cruelty.—! am, Sir, &c.,
