Fur - Don't be fooled by fur! back to current campaigns     Each year, the worldwide fur industry kills more than 55 million animals* in the name of fashion. The RSPCA is opposed to the farming and trapping of animals for their fur. Husbandry and slaughter methods used on fur farms can cause considerable suffering to the animals involved. Learn more about this cruel trade here - make sure you know the facts and never buy anything that is made entirely or partly of real fur. By refusing to buy real fur items and by ensuring that the fur on the clothes and accessories you buy is completely fake (faux), you are not contributing to the killing of fur-bearing animals in the name of fashion.
