Macy's will stop selling fur as part of a company-wide ban

Macy's, Inc. has announced that they will stop selling fur products that are not ethically sourced by the end of fiscal year 2020.

The ban includes every brand and subsidiary owned by Macy's Inc., including their namesake retail chain and Bloomingdale's department stores, which the company owns.

The term "unethically sourced" stems from the fact that often, animals popular only for their fur and not commonly used for food — such as foxes, rabbits, and minks — are put through "cruel" conditions for their fur, the New York Times reports.

As result, Macy's, Inc.'s new fur policy will be in compliance with the Fur Free Alliance guidelines, which allow "ethically sourced" fur products from animals ethically raised for food, such as sheep and cattle, per CNN.

The company is just the latest to move away from "unethically sourced" fur, following Gucci and the state of California.
