The cruel business behind fashion with fur
The fur industry is a merciless business: locked in tiny wire cages, foxes, raccoon dogs and other animal species await their senseless death on fur farms. At the age of a few months, the animals are killed in front of their fellow animals, for example by electric shocks or gas, and then end up as jacket collars or hat bobbles. There is no such thing as ethical fur. The deaths of wild coyotes, lynx, and other animals by trapping for fur are no less brutal.
The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) Fur Free Europe
launched the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) Fur-free Europe with an alliance of animal welfare organizations. The aim of the petition, which will run until March 1, 2023 and is now supported by 77 European groups and has already been signed by more than 1.5 million citizens, is an EU-wide ban on keeping and killing fur animals for the purpose of fur production . Furs and fur products from fur farming are also to be banned from the European market.
