Support a #FurFreeBritain

Fur farming has been illegal in the UK for over two decades, but cruelly obtained fur items are still being sold here. Urge the government to ban fur imports and sales now!

Fur-Free Britain Campaign

Under current EU regulations, it’s illegal to trade in cat, dog, or seal fur, but the fur of other animals, such as coyotes, foxes, raccoon dogs, and minks, can still be sold. Brexit may have divided the public, but we are united in our agreement that the sale of tortured animals’ skin should be outlawed. The UK has an opportunity to introduce a ban on the import and sale of all animal fur. In doing so, it would become a true world leader in animal protection.

Following a campaign by PETA and other animal protection groups – which included a petition that was signed by more than a million members of the public – in October 2024, the UK is close to becoming a fur-free zone.

Labour MP Ruth Jones has introduced a private members’ bill that, if it becomes law, will ban the import and sale of fur in the UK. We must ensure the government supports the bill and follows through with legislation that honours the public’s opposition to fur.

Fur Is Cruel

On fur factory farms, animals typically spend their entire life confined to a cramped, filthy cage and are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviour such as playing, running, finding food, and raising a family. The stress of this extreme confinement often drives them insane, and out of frustration, animals commonly engage in fighting, self-mutilation, and cannibalism. At the end of their miserable life, they face a horrific death – often by gassing, electrocution, or poisoning.

Tell the government to ban the importation and sale of fur in the UK immediately.

UN MIS Petition Description Text - *Important Note* You must UNLINK this shared library component before making page-specific customizations.

Dear Minister:

I am completely opposed to the immense suffering inflicted on more than 100 million animals each year in the international fur trade. Inflicting cruelty on animals for frivolous fashion is deplorable, and I therefore support PETA’s campaign to ban fur sales in the UK and create a fur-free Britain.

We should close our borders to this cruel trade, a move that would reflect the view of more than 80 per cent of Brits, who believe that it’s unacceptable to buy or sell animal fur.

More and more countries are following the UK’s lead and banning fur farming. In prohibiting fur sales, Britain would once again become a world leader on animal protection. Given that more than 100,000 UK citizens have signed a UK Government and Parliament e-petition calling for an end to the sale of fur, I strongly urge you to back such a ban.

Please, commit to ending the sale of animal fur in the UK.

Sincerely,

Sign the Petition
