THE LATEST fashion craze according to the glossy mags is fur purses, skirts, jackets, shoes - in fact anything covered in animal skin. Please don't presume it's all man-made.
Over 40 million animals are slaughtered each year by the fur trade. Britain imports millions of domestic cats and dogs from China. They are hung and skinned alive.
If this offends you - please ring or write to Peter and Carol Bartfield, 46 Sheldon Avenue, London, N6 4JR (Tel 0181 348 4844).
