The fur industry isn’t just unspeakably cruel to animals, it’s also extremely damaging to the environment. Around 100 million animals a year globally are used for their fur. A report from Humane Society International/UK shows that if fur farming was banned across Europe, it would save nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent, the same as the annual carbon dioxide emissions of roughly 58,000 citizens in the UK. It would also save approximately 3,700 tonnes of water pollution and 11,800 tonnes of air emissions.

Animals on fur farms produce huge amounts of polluting excrement, and their fur pelts require large amounts of water, salt and a cocktail of chemicals like chromium and formaldehyde - toxic carcinogens - to process them into fashion products and stop them from decomposing like dead skin and hair naturally would.

Fur farming is banned in the UK on animal welfare grounds, but the country still imports and sells fur from animals farmed overseas. Sign the petition for a #FurFreeBritain to call on the UK Government to end this double-standard: [ Ссылка ]
