The fur trade's days are numbered - millions of animals spared from suffering and death.
In 2023, global fur production plummeted by nearly 40%, following a decade-long downward spiral that saw the industry shrink by a staggering 85%.

Did you know that Leg-hold traps – the type that grip an animal by their foot or lower leg – remain legal across Canada and can be found in every province and territory? Learn more about these cruel devices and what you can do to protect people and pets. buff.ly/40jZbrz

Contrary to what the fur industry claims, new data shows that fur bans in Europe are not moving the practice to China.
Not only is fur farming inherently cruel to animals, it's also economically unviable #makefurhistory

Historic win for animals! The Romanian Parliament has voted to ban fur farming 🎉
This morning the groundbreaking legislation passed with an overwhelming majority vote.
Huge congratulations to our member @HSIEurope /Romania for their hard fought campaign for a #FurFreeRomania

Good news from the UK, where a bill to ban #furfarming has been introduced in Parliament 👏🦊
Well done to our friends at @Respect4Animals for their hard work.
Now it's up to the @EU_Commission to follow suit and create a #FurFreeEurope. Citizens & animals are waiting.
Today @RuthJonesLabour introduces her bill to ban real fur imports in Britain! ❤️
We became the first country in the world to ban cruel fur farming, so why do we still allow these products to be imported and sold? 🧐
Let's finish the job. Let's make fur history. 🦊

It is about time we shut up shop on the cruel and unnecessary fur trade. That is why tomorrow I will be tabling a Bill to ban the import of fur to the UK.

A fur import and sale is critically important. Labour’s fur farming ban in 2000 was copied by many countries and showed global leadership on animal welfare. It’s hypocritical to allow the sale of fur having banned production for its cruelty.

While Max Mara's fashion show is taking place, this is what the fur trade does not want you to see.

MAX MARA, MAX CRUELTY 📢
Today we paid a visit to @maxmara on New Bond Street, to take action against their sale of fur.
How many more animals must die until high end brands realise that cruelty is NEVER in fashion.

No animal deserves to spend their entire life in a tiny wire cage only to be brutally killed and skinned for so-called fashion.
Tell @MaxMara to keep up with the times and go fur-free.

We are glad we could ask all our questions to the @EU_Commission + remind it how urgent a ban on #fur is.
Animals need it. ❤️
Citizens want it. 📢
It is now up to @EFSA_EU to provide recommendations on how to move forward, ideally towards a #FurFreeEurope.
Respect for Animals retweeted
Today marks an important step on the road to a #FurFreeEurope.🦊
We are at the @EU_Commission for a meeting to discuss & clarify next steps.
Over 1.5 million 🇪🇺 citizens called for a ban on #fur. Let's make it happen!💪
We'll share the outcome later.

Two years ago today, Italian luxury brand Dolce&Gabbana ditched #fur for good, following similar moves by major players like Gucci, Prada, Armani, Versace and Valentino. Who's next?🔥
Respect for Animals retweeted
Today we are meeting @EFSA_EU, with @FurFreeAlliance + @FOURPAWSeurope, to discuss current practices on #fur farms.
We hope that this meeting will result in EFSA delivering a favourable opinion (due in March 2025) which will lead to a #FurFreeEurope.
More on this tomorrow! 🤞
