Sue Hayman James West Animal Policy International Cruelty Free International A fur import and sale is critically important. Labour’s fur farming ban in 2000 was copied by many countries and showed global leadership on animal welfare.

Great to attend this event in parliament today. We’re persuading MPs to back the campaign to ban real fur in Britain. Many thanks to Ruth Jones MP for her vital bill.
Today Ruth Jones MP introduces her bill to ban real fur imports in Britain! ❤️ We became the first country in the world to ban cruel fur farming, so why do we still allow these products to be imported and sold? 🧐 Let's finish the job. Let's make fur history. 🦊
Good news from the UK, where a bill to ban #furfarming has been introduced in Parliament 👏🦊 Well done to our friends at Respect for Animals for their hard work. Now it's up to the European Commission to follow suit and create a #FurFreeEurope. Citizens & animals are waiting.
A milestone for animal protection as the parliament in Romania votes to ban fur farming! Last year we joined Fur Free Alliance colleagues in Bucharest to support this campaign. Now over 100,000 mink and chinchillas will no longer be cruelly bred and slaughtered for their fur.
