The fur industry kills more than 100 million animals every year. Most of these animals, including minks, foxes, and chinchillas, endure extreme cruelty before being slaughtered. Help protect these animals by passing a fur sale ban in your city or county.
In 2019, California made history by passing the nation’s first statewide fur sale ban, following similar bans in West Hollywood, Berkeley, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. While these laws haven’t been enacted in other states yet, your city could be the first!
