Because of the amount of footage, it may take a few moments for the playlist to load; please refresh your browser if it doesn’t, thank you. There is additional footage below (four videos) and feel free to visit our Video section for additional fur videos.
The real price of fur must be measured in deaths–not dollars. To make one fur coat you must kill at least fifty-five wild mink, thirty-five ranched mink, forty sables, eleven lynx, eighteen red foxes, eleven silver foxes, one hundred chinchillas, thirty rex rabbits, nine beavers, thirty muskrats, fifteen bobcats, twenty-five skunks, fourteen otters, one hundred twenty-five ermines, thirty possums, one hundred squirrels, or twenty-seven raccoons.
Every year, the well-organized fur trade spends millions of dollars to glamorize fur coats and accessories and to mask the real price of fur: pain, mutilation, and death for millions of animals. IDA

More and more retailers and designers are rejecting animal cruelty and potential consumer deception by adopting fur-free policies. Listed here are those who’ve announced that they don’t sell animal fur or are phasing in a fur-free policy.
If you don’t see a company on our list that does not sell fur, please help us by contacting the company. Ask to have their fur-free policy in writing and forward the correspondence and/or responses to furfree@humanesociety.org. Your efforts will not only help expand our fur-free list but, by contacting companies as a concerned consumer, will also demonstrate to decision-makers that animal fur is a thing of the past.
If you would like to see your company listed here, please email furfree@humanesociety.org.
*Please note: Shearling is not covered by this list. Use our list as a guide, but always double-check any fur-trimmed product before buying it (document below the list as well).

SAMPLE MESSAGE
To Whom It Concerns,
I am shocked to discover that you are commercially engaged in the fur industry. Due to the inherently-brutal industry of fur farming, any products derived for or from the suffering and killing of animals should be rejected, and I am respectfully requesting that you discontinue profiting off the exploitation of animals.
Please watch the undercover footage of the industry you promote; the first has footage of Finnish fur farms in different languages, the second a barbaric demonstration of fur in general:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_8Ko-9uKRs
Humans are capable, indeed obligated, to acknowledge animals as sentient beings who, like humans, experience love, anguish, pain, and suffering. Human apathy as established by the usage of fabrications and euphemisms reflects a lack of respect, not only for animals, but also for humans, and I implore upon you to examine your role in the suffering of animals and your unscrupulous conduct as host to such a cruel business. As such, as long as you unnecessarily and selfishly capitalizes on the mutilation, torture, and death of animals, I will not financially support you or your associated products. Furthermore, I will share this information with family, friends, colleagues, and members of online communities.
Please make both the ethical and responsible decision to discontinue your commercial support of fur immediately: join an increasing body of corporations who are listening to a concerned and attentive consumer population who refuse to be complicit in the inherently malicious industry of fur farming in all stages of “production”. I hope this letter finds you willing to scrutinize your own involvement and desire to protect, rather than harm, animals.
Sincerely,
NAME, ADDRESS
