LETTERS, Page 6Coonskin Comeback
I was disappointed to read your item about the latest fad for
Davy Crockett-style raccoon caps (BUSINESS, Jan. 23). The more
people find out about how furs are obtained from animals, the more
disgusted they become. Let's not revive fashions that cause animals
to suffer. I believe we should make this a kinder and gentler
nation for them too.

"Head for the hills!" you warn raccoons. But the trappers are
already there, waiting with horrible steel-jaw leg-hold traps.
There is no hope for the animals except in man's conscience, where
there should be compassion and respect.
