Fashion should inspire—not exploit. Tens of millions of animals suffer and die every year for fur fashion—their beautiful coats reduced to a trim on a jacket, a pom on a hat, or a keychain. Behind every strip of fur is a life of fear, confinement, and pain. On fur farms, mink, foxes and raccoon dogs spend their entire lives in cramped wire cages—denied the ability to run, dig or explore—before being killed by gassing or electrocution. In the wild, coyotes and raccoons caught for fashion can endure hours or even days in brutal metal jawed traps without food or water. Some suffer so desperately they gnaw off their own limbs trying to escape. All this suffering—for fashion. Paris Fashion Week still allows fur to be showcased on its catwalks. Tell Paris Fashion Week organizer Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode: go fur-free now.
