Convicted Fur Thief Busted for Allegedly Stealing Coats at High-End Manhattan Stores Read more: htt |

MANHATTAN — A convicted shoplifter with a penchant for high-end furs has been busted by police once again after trying to steal a mink coat from a Manhattan boutique last week, according to the New York Post. Johnnie Taylor, 50, has been in and out of prison since 1987 for swiping thousands of dollars worth of fur coats and other high-end clothes from stores around the city, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys, the paper reported.
In her most recent heist, Taylor allegedly tried to make off with an $8,000 mink coat from Northern Furs Fashion in the Garment District on Jan. 7, police told the Post. But the storeowner recognized her because she had previously stolen $25,000 worth of furs from the same shop in September, according to the paper.
Taylor’s M.O. seems to be to hide the pilfered goods under her clothes by stuffing them in hidden bags or even her girdle, police told the Post. She was charged with robbery and criminal possession of stolen property, the paper reported.

Bad news for fur businesses? Moschow without snow! |
|
Thursday, 22 October 2009 |

Pigs still can't fly, but this winter, the mayor of Moscow promises to keep
it from snowing. For just a few million dollars, the mayor's office will
hire the Russian Air Force to spray a fine chemical mist over the clouds
before they reach the capital, forcing them to dump their snow outside the
city. Authorities say this will be a boon for Moscow, which is typically
covered with a blanket of snow from November to March. Road crews won't need
to constantly clear the streets, and traffic — and quality of life — will
undoubtedly improve.
The idea came from Mayor Yury Luzhkov, who is no stranger to playing God. In
2002, he spearheaded a project to reverse the flow of the vast River Ob
through Siberia to help irrigate the country's parched Central Asian
neighbors. Although that idea hasn't exactly turned out as
planned — scientists have said it's not feasible — this time, Luzhkov says,
there's no way he can fail. |

Demand for nutria pelts fades away |
|
Friday, 03 April 2009 |
HOUMA - With their oversized orange-tinged incisors, beady eyes and rat-like tails, nutria are not the most endearing animals in the swamp.
But they were once a valued animal, brought to the U.S. from Argentina by businessmen who planned to raise them for their fur and meat.
Their coats, which appear slicked back and greasy-looking in the wild, are actually thick and luxurious once cleaned and processed. The fur, similar to beaver, is dense and soft and ranges in color.
If you fancy a nutria fur for yourself, they are still readily available. A search of the online auction site eBay, for example, turned up dozens of women's coats - some made completely of nutria fur and others simply lined or accented with it -- ranging in price from $30 to $1,500.
The offerings are proof there was once a demand for the fur.
Experts say that was especially true in Russia and Argentina, but with the souring international economy, demand in recent years is slim. |

Canada's commercial harp seal hunt started today with a quota of 280,000 seals, only days after Russia decided to ban all hunting of harp seals under one year of age.
Baby seals are being killed on the ice in Canada as you read this - observers from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) confirmed the first seal death just moments ago.
Observers from HSUS and IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) are in the air and on the ice, watching the hunt, recording abuses, and campaigning to end this cruelty once and for all.
We here at E-furs.com may adore furs, but we are against Baby Seal Hunting and any fur making that is against the law!
