Ban Fur Trapping, and the Import and Sale of Real Fur in the UK
Animals suffer horrific cruelty and violent and cruel killing in the fur trade, all so that some people can wear their skins and have their pelts. The UK calls itself a nation of animal lovers; it’s time to start acting like it!
Animals like mink, raccoons and foxes are cruelly caged and then killed by gassing, poisoning or are even skinned alive to become someone’s fur coat, or trim on someone’s hat or jacket. Wild animals like lynx, coyotes and foxes are cruelly trapped and killed.
Fur farming was banned in 2000. However, fur trapping and the import of fur is still legal. This means that animals still suffer horrifically, notably in China, only for their fur to be sold here. Fur trapping is also cruel and dangerous.
