Here's How You Can Help Animals Abused and Killed for Fur

Support a #FurFreeBritain

Fur farming has been illegal in Britain for two decades, but garments made with the skin of animals who were caged and electrocuted or bludgeoned to death or who were caught in steel-jaw traps are still being sold here. In June, during a parliamentary debate, MPs spoke out in favour of ending fur sales, but no clear commitment has been made on this issue.

Scroll down to urge the UK government to ban all fur sales in Britain.

Tell the Danish Government to Ban Fur Farming

Fur farms packed with sick, stressed, and suffering animals are revolting places. And because minks are particularly susceptible to respiratory illnesses, mink farms around the world have become dangerous breeding grounds for disease and have been identified as COVID-19 hotspots.

Please scroll down to send a message to the Danish prime minister and ask her to ban cruel fur farms immediately.

Tell Etsy to ban fur

Etsy allows its users to post and sell items made with real fur, despite hearing from PETA US that animals in the fur industry spend their entire lives confined to filthy cages before finally being beaten, electrocuted, gassed, or skinned alive.

Scroll down to urge Etsy to make a positive impact for animals by updating its Prohibited Items Policy to include a ban on fur.

Urge Escada to stop supporting extreme cruelty to animals for fur

Back in 2011, Escada made the compassionate decision to stop selling fur. But the label has since gone back on its pledge and started stocking shoes trimmed with mink fur and jackets with collars made from raccoon dog pelts, supporting egregious cruelty to animals.

Scroll down to ask Escada to join the fur-free revolution once again and stop selling fur immediately.

Urge LVMH to shed fur from Louis Vuitton and other brands

LVMH is still selling garments made with real fur – even though the fur trade slaughters millions of animals, including foxes, coyotes, and minks, in gruesome ways each year.

Scroll down to urge LVMH to shed fur – and exotic skins – from Louis Vuitton and all its other brands.

Stop the MoD Using the Fur of Slaughtered Bears for the King’s Guard’s Caps

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

I am completely opposed to the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) use of bear fur to make ornamental headpieces for the five regiments of foot guards.

A PETA exposé shows hunters baiting bears with buckets of sticky, greasy food before shooting the unsuspecting animals with crossbows. Once hunters have slaughtered the bears, their body parts are then often kept as trophies and their fur is auctioned off to buyers. The MoD capmakers buy the fur from these auctions and use them to make the headgear worn by the King’s Guard.

Instead of financially supporting the shameful slaughter of black bears in Canada for these ceremonial caps, the UK should be setting a compassionate example by switching to high-tech, luxurious faux fur.

A faux-fur alternative that meets the MoD’s requirements has been created by PETA UK and faux furrier ECOPEL. It matches the unique 9.5-centimetre length of the fur currently used for the caps and is 100% waterproof. There is no reason why the cruelly obtained bearskin cannot be replaced with this viable option.

Over 100,000 UK residents have signed a government petition calling for the faux fur to be quick-marched into service.

As the Secretary of State for Defence, will you please intervene to save taxpayer money and spare bears?
