The glamorous Conner, of VH1’s Rock of Love with Brett Michaels fame, wants shoppers to realize that tremendous suffering is involved for animals killed for their fur. China has become the foremost fur supplier to the U.S. An investigation of Chinese fur farms revealed workers attempting to knock the animals out by repeatedly slamming them against the ground or bashing their heads with clubs, but such primitive methods leave many

animals fully conscious, visibly blinking and breathing for as long as ten minutes after the fur is ripped from their raw, bloodied bodies. Many celebrated designers, such as Marc Bouwer, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney and Kenneth Cole, refuse to design with fur, and several prominent retail chains including Gap, H & M, JCrew, and Forever 21 have pledged not to sell real fur.
