Bebe Stores Inc. (BEBE) will stop buying products with animal fur starting in January, CEO Gregory Scott announced Wednesday. Related Topics: SAN FRANCISCO
The San Francisco-based clothing retailer has been working with vendors for the past year to ensure that only fur created as a byproduct would be used in its products, Scott said.
“Over this same period, we are proud to say that we have dramatically reduced the use fo animal fur to less than 3 percent of our product offerings and now look forward to completely eliminating animal fur from our orders beginning in January 2008,” Scott said.
Bebe operates 285 stores in the United States, U.S territories and Canada, as well as an online store.

This is great news, and Gregory Scott and his board of directors should be congratulated. We as enlightened beings of the new millennium must end the barbaric and totally useless practice of murdering animals for fur. This is a step in the right direction, and a compassionate act that other stores will follow if Bebe's is lauded and rewarded for their pioneering stance.
