Animals suffer terribly for any product made with real fur, no matter how small the item. Jacket hoods trimmed with real fur or handbags lined with real fur can only be made at the expense of animals like rabbits, foxes, and mink. This year, events all over the country will help holiday shoppers recognize cleverly disguised fur, and encourage them to purchase only fur-free garments. Fur-free shopping is one easy and powerful way to save millions of animals from common fates such as life in a cage, electrocution, clubbing, and cruel trapping.

If you have friends who might want to attend, please invite them to come along. Have a compassionate and successful Fur-Free Friday!
