Jump down to the petition now. Fur used in fashion is innately cruel. The fact remains that the animals involved in fur fashion are either factory "farmed" or trapped. Factory-farmed animals are forced to spend their lives in squalid cramped conditions and are killed by cruel methods that preserve the pelt, such as gassing, neck-breaking, and anal electrocution, and they may even be skinned alive. Trapped animals may remain in a painful trap or snare for several days before starving or slowly strangling to death. If still alive when the trapper finally comes back, they may be beaten over the head or shot. Trappers also catch "non-target" animals including birds, endangered species, and domestic dogs and cats. Retailers have many choices when it comes to what makes up their inventory. Unfortunately, not all retailers have acknowledged that they directly contribute to a cruel and unnecessary industry when they sell fur. Retailers must be aware that no fur garments are made compassionately.Compassionate consumers like you can help by refusing to shop at stores that sell fur and by encouraging retailers to commit, in writing, to a no-fur policy and thus be recognized by the international fur free retailer program. The fur free retailer program is a project of the Fur Free Alliance - an international coalition of more than 30 animal protection organizations working to bring an end to the exploitation and killing of animals for their fur. Please join us in urging retailers to take a stand against fur fashion. Please sign the petition.
