Trotz der Tatsache, das Donna Karan, die Chefdesignerin von DKNY, in der Vergangenheit schon einmal versprochen hatte, keine Pelze mehr in ihren Designs zu verarbeiten, musste PETA USA feststellen, dass Sie wieder Pelz im Sortiment hatte. Daraufhin hat sich PETA USA mit einer neuen Undercover-Recherche über Kaninchenpelz an Donna Karan gewandt, woraufhin die Designerin erneut ein Versprechen abgab, keine Tierpelze mehr zu verwenden. Diese tierfreundliche Einstellung war jedoch nicht von langer Dauer: Donna Karan verwendet schon wieder Pelz in ihren Designs. Bitte helfen Sie uns, Donna Karan aufzufordern, die Pelzverkäufe einzustellen und eine dauerhafte Pelzfrei-Politik aufzunehmen. PETA USA hat an Karan appelliert, sich Konkurrenten wie Stella McCartney, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Vivienne Westwood, Ann Taylor und vielen anderen anzuschließen – diese haben dem Pelz bereits dauerhaft abgeschworen.

Dear Mrs. Kerner,
Dear Mr. Juju
Donna Karan promised several times not to use fur for her designs. This promise given to PETA USA is highly appreciated and helps to stop abusing animals for fashion reasons.
Animals held on fur farms suffer from being forced to live in narrow and dirty cages for their whole short life. A species-appropriate behaviour is refused to them enduringly. Their torture often drives them crazy and forces them to cannibalism.
Fur farmers usually kill the animals in the cheapest way but not in the most “humanly” way. Breaking necks, poisioning and killing with electric shock are the preferred procedures. Using electric shock for example means to insert a stick into the animal’s rectum and to put it on 240 V. Lots of animals are just unconscious and wake up while being skinned.
Being informed by PETA USA Donna Karan recently has used fur again for her designs. Donna Karan should be well informed about the agony being behind any fur accessory, any fur hat or any fur handbag.
It is highly appreciated that Donna Karan stops using fur for her designs with immediate effect and that Donna Karan announces an enduring fur-free-policy. This would be in line with other competitors like Stella
McCartney, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Vivienne Westwood and many more.
After the announcement of a fur-free-policy I will be pleased having a look again at the Donna Karan Collection in order to purchase. Unfortunality, this is not acceptable for me right now.
Sincerely,
