Inhumane Intermix

I got a tip from Girlie Girl Army that trendy LA and NYC boutique Intermix was selling FUR. After checking out their website, I am truly disgusted by the amount of cruelty they have in stock. Intermix has every type of slaughtered and skinned animal for sale: Fox fur, rabbit fur, raccoon fur, coyote fur - if it had a beautiful coat, Intermix went and killed it. I am angry and deeply saddened by what I saw, and something needs to be done...

Any shopping at Intermix is supporting this bloody industry. This isn't about being a vegetarian or a vegan, this is about stopping inhumane, senseless killing. You can try and ignore the horrible photos and videos that are a biproduct of the fur industry, but it won't go away unless we do something about it. This cruelty is still very much real because people still buy fur and continue to support companies who do. I urge everyone to NOT shop at Intermix until they adopt a Fur Free policy.
Not only is fur disgustingly cruel, but it is totally unnecessary when there are so many fabulous faux options. After our successful campaign against Planet Blue last year, they've made the effort to put compassion back in fashion. Planet Blue has some fabulously fierce FAUX fur fashions that are not only cruelty free, but a lot more stylish than these grandma coats Intermix has for sale.
This Intermix Fur Free campaign will be Fur Free Los Angeles's biggest target yet, but it can and will be done. With the amount of Fur Intermix has for sale, this campaign won't happen overnight. Before we organize a protest, we've got to be loud and have our voices heard. Contact them, and tell your friends to as well. Together we can make a difference!
