From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for contacting L.L.Bean. I apologize if our products offend you. We do understand the sensitivity some customers may have related to real fur products. We try to appeal to all our customers by providing both natural and synthetic products in our diverse product line. We also require that all our vendors source their materials using only suppliers who adhere to ethical procedures and practices. L.L.Bean sells many products that are made using different animal by-products - leather (deer, calf, lamb, cow, bison, elk and kangaroo), goose down and feathers, cashmere, silk, and wool. In addition, we sell hundreds of products made from synthetic materials. Our customers appreciate the choice. L.L. Bean is a 95-year-old Maine company that specializes in offering products and expertise to our customers who enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. Our company founder, Mr. "L.L." Bean, was an avid outdoorsman whose first product, the Maine Hunting Shoe, was designed to help hunters and fishers keep their feet dry. L.L. Bean was founded on the Maine outdoor traditions of hunting, fishing, and camping. We have expanded our product line over the years to include many more outdoor recreational activities such as cross-country skiing, biking and in-line skating. However, our customers still look to us to provide quality products, service and expertise that support the traditional pursuits of hunting and fishing we consider integral to our heritage and product line. Our faux and real fur products fall under this category. Thank you again for sharing your comments with us. You are a valued customer and we hope to be of service to you in the future. Sincerely, Carolyn Beem Manager, Public Affairs --------------------------------------------------- *** to respond, or to view this posting in context: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/forums?ID=76793001
