Did you catch the piece Linda Wertheimer did on National Public Radio at 5:30 p.m. Thursday? She interviewed a fur salesman at the Ritz fur shop in N.Y.C. They jokingly discussed how well the furs are selling in August, what kind of furs they sell (mink, muskrat, lamb, rabbit, fox, beaver, fisher), how the store is kept chilly so people will want to try on coats, ad nauseum. It was like free advertising.
No mention of how inhumanely these animals are treated, the controversy, etc.
Please ask all concerned to call/write/email N.P.R. immediately and complain.They do read letters on the air. Supporting the fur trade is not what public radio should be doing!
