o put an end to all the animals that suffer due to the fur industry
Statement: We, the undersigned, urge the discontinuation of all fur sales, because of the suffering, brutality, and death involved in the industry, and the cruel fact that the victims involved have now even been shown to include cats and dogs.

Dogs and cats are internationally considered pets, with few exceptions, and trust us to protect and care for them, yet each year more than 2 million domestic dogs and cats are brutally killed for their fur. The products of this pain and suffering are sold right here in the United States and Europe.

Dog and cat fur has permeated the fur trim market. Nobody can really know if the fur products sold in your store comes from coyotes or rabbits, or from dogs or cats. Labels simply do not disclose what kind of fur is used. And dog fur may be mixed with coyote fur on the trim of the same parka.

We must suspect that any piece of fur could be dog or cat fur, regardless of what the manufacturer claims. The most ethical and humane stand is to not sell ANY fur whether it is cat, dog, rabbit, coyote, fox, or any unfortunate animal.

In order to make fur coats, animals are electrocuted, gassed, or have their necks broken in captivity; they are trapped, drowned, or bludgeoned to death in the wild. They are kept in abominable conditions, killed inhumanely, and suffer terribly. There is no regard for the fact that they are living, feeling creatures with a right to live their lives free of torture & murder, or even to die a humane death!

In this day and age of beautiful and useful synthetics, there is no reason to use the fur of animals to keep warm. It is not a fashion statement for people to wear another creature's skin. A true appreciation of the beauty of an animal's fur would be imitation. To torture and kill animals for their skins is a throwback to the caveman days, and even then animals were not bred and kept in horrible conditions for their fur, but killed as needed in a quick manner!

We respectfully urge the discontinuation of the sale of all fur in all stores, including fur trim, fur decorations, and fur toys. We also vow to refuse to spend our hard-earned dollars in any store that sells fur products.

Thank you for your time and consideration and we hope we may once again shop in your store in the near future.

Concerned animal lovers,

The fur trade is barbaric and should not be taking place in the 21st century. It needs to be illegal to save millions of animals from suffering in the name of vanity.

This is the most cruel, inhumane thing I have ever ever imagined could happen to domestic pets. People just suck.
