Shopping online? Try Overstock.com -- they're fur-free!

[Ignis]

Online retailer Overstock.com announced today that it will stop selling fur effective immediately. Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com, spoke with us about fur, socially responsible policies and his personal connection with animals.

...

Q. Has there been any reaction from Overstock.com employees regarding the fur phase-out?

A. Yes. I expected push-back from the apparel buying group when I went and told them of my decision. Instead, they were relieved and eagerly told me how happy they were. Then over the next few days, as news spread around the company, I was amazed at how many folks I would never have expected to care (e.g., software developers, mathematicians, network engineers) stopped me to tell me how much they supported the decision.
