Thank you for “Reversal of Fur-tune in the West 20s” (May 29).

To Larry Cowit, who said that the industry is “already so small”: I hope that he and all other furriers get new, prosperous jobs — ones that don’t thrive on brutalizing 50 million animals per year, just so that people can feel fabulous by draping a dead animal over their shoulders.
