Dear Kaufman Furs,
It is well known that you are one of the largest fut outlets in the United States, and have a large amount of heft in the fur clothing industry. I am writing you about a topic that I am sure you already hear plenty of from much more vocal groups. Obviously, it is the idea of you using animal furs for your clothing.
Using fur in recent years has been in decline as people are becoming more conscious about the products that they are going to buy. Many Americans and Europeans are aware of the acts the groups like PETA do to people who use fur (i.e. tossing blood on them), which I do not personally condone, but it is a marker of how public opinion are shifting. People are beginning to think that the use of furs are not necessary, because of all of the faux options out there, as well as the many different coats and jackets that are not in the grain of fur that are still high end.
This is an industry, that if you want to be able to continue to stay open, need to make strives to convince the public that there is more to your company than being expensive animal pelts turned into clothing. The thought that animals are being raised and killed just so that their skins can be taken to be used for the rich and famous is a ridiculous premise. There is no really value for the animals in this trade, only to certain people who can afford the expense of these pieces of clothing.
Feelings probably will not improve for your company, or any other fur clothing store for a long time, if ever, but if you want to try and put public mind at ease, I think that it would be wise to try and educate people on where your animals come from. And what I mean by that is that you should try and make it so that furs are from animals that are humanely killed before their pelts are taken, and that the animals have a high quality of life before they are farmed. This would interest you, because it is known that animals that are not stressed and are well taken care of will have a higher quality pelt as well. If there were some kind of fundraiser for animals as well, people may consider you above the curve on the other fur companies, and showing the public that your company is more conscientious than others.
Sincerely,
A concerned human being
