HELP END THIS CRUELTY
Every year, tens of millions of animals suffer and die for their fur, all for a frivolous product that no-one needs.
Under a Labour government the UK banned fur farming as ‘unethical’ in 2000, recognising that keeping wild animals in tiny cages can never be humane.
However, the UK continues to allow fur to be imported and sold, effectively outsourcing fur cruelty overseas. More than three-quarters of the British public reject this double-standard and support a fur import and sales ban.
Let’s lead the world on animal welfare. Let’s ban the fur trade in the UK.

PUBLIC & CELEBRITY SUPPORT
We’ve gathered more than 1 million signatures for a #FurFreeBritain, and counting! The petition is supported by Humane World For Animals UK, Animal Aid, FOUR PAWS UK, Open Cages, PETA UK, RSPCA, Save Me Trust and citizen campaigners Catherine Reda and Diane Smith.
THE PETITION READS:
I am very pleased that a Labour government banned fur farming in 2000, making the UK the first country in the world to do so. Please now take another historic step by taking urgent action to stop fur imports and sales. Let’s end our association with fur cruelty for good.
I am completely opposed to the immense suffering caused to tens of millions of animals each year in the international fur trade. I support the campaign to ban fur sales in the UK and create a #FurFreeBritain.
Inflicting cruelty on animals for frivolous fashion is deplorable. Existing laws prohibit the sale of cat, dog and seal fur but the UK should now fully close its borders to this cruel trade, reflecting the view of over three quarters of the British public who reject this double-standard and support a fur import and sales ban.
More and more countries are following the UK’s lead and banning fur farming. California has already blazed a trail by banning fur sales, and by becoming the first country in the world to ban fur imports and sales we would once again make the UK a world leader in animal protection.
Please ban fur imports and sales - let’s end this double-standard and stop outsourcing suffering.

WHAT THE FUR TRADE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE
The fur trade is responsible for the suffering and death of many tens of millions of animals each year, including foxes, chinchillas, minks, raccoon dogs and rabbits.
Most of this fur - around 95% - is produced by intensively farming animals in battery-cage systems in countries such as Poland, Finland, Greece, the United States, Canada and China. Despite industry greenwashing claims, confining wild animals in small cages, or catching them in metal traps, can never be done humanely. Countless investigations on fur farms and trapping lines reveal the harrowing truth. These films show what the fur industry really looks like.
