World Animal Protection US‘ Statement on New York Fashion Week Banning Fur

We applaud the CFDA for taking this landmark step to help ensure animals no longer suffer for fashion. For decades, animal advocates have marched, protested, and sounded the alarm about the cruelty inherent in the fur industry. This decision follows closely on the heels of Poland, the world’s second-largest producer of fur, banning fur production. We hope that other fashion weeks and brands will follow in the footsteps of NY, London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and more and eliminate fur, as well as feathers and skins, from fashion forever. The writing is on the wall: the future of fashion is unmistakably fur-free.
