PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) UK has sent a letter to Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree asking that the company ban "fur" garments from all Warhammer characters.  "While we appreciate that they are fictional, draping them in what looks like a replica of a dead animal sends the message that wearing fur is acceptable – when, in fact, it has no more place in 2017 than it would in the year 40,000," the organization’s statement said.  "[N]othing on the bloody battlefields of Warhammer’s conflict-ravaged universe could match the terrible reality that foxes, minks, rabbits, and other living beings experience at the hands of the fur trade."

This is the first we’ve heard of objections to fur-wearing behavior in fantasy worlds, so it appears a new frontier has been breached.

No word from Games Workshop on whether the company will accede to the organization’s request.
