#BanFur In Connecticut

The Issue

Los Angeles just followed San Francisco to become the largest city in the United States to ban the sale and manufacture of fur within the city. The unanimous city council vote setting a historic precedent for other cities to go fur-free. 

The sale of fur is antiquated and unnecessary.   It is estimated that 100 chinchillas or as many as 60 minks are killed to make a single full length coat.  Depending on the type of fox, 10 to 24 may be required.  These beautiful creatures breath, live and feel just the same as our beloved cats and dogs do.

We can help put an end to this cruel business.  Please help ban the sale and manufacture of fur in the state of Connecticut by signing the petition below.

Your voice matters!  Thank you so much!

Best,
