One hundred thousand messages changed Etsy's policy. Starting August 2026, one of the world's largest online marketplaces will no longer sell fur. That victory did not happen because a corporation suddenly grew a conscience. It happened because people spoke up, kept speaking up, and refused to stop until the company listened.

Now it is Temu's turn.

While Etsy, SHEIN, ASOS, and hundreds of other brands and retailers have committed to going fur-free, Temu continues to flood its platform with products made from fur, wild animal skins, and angora. These are not abstract materials. They come from foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals confined in filthy wire cages, denied veterinary care for untreated wounds, subjected to severe psychological stress, and killed by gassing, electrocution, or having their necks broken. The animals raised and killed for these products are sentient beings treated as disposable commodities. And Temu is profiting from every sale.

Temu is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce platforms in the world. It has the reach, the resources, and the responsibility to stop. The fact that it has not yet done so is a choice, not an inevitability. And it is a choice that hundreds of its competitors have already made differently.

There is also a consumer protection dimension to this that cannot be ignored. Many shoppers on platforms like Temu do not realize they are purchasing real fur or real animal skins. Products are frequently mislabeled, descriptions are vague, and the origin of materials is deliberately obscured. A shopper who would never knowingly buy fur may be buying it anyway, with no way of knowing. Temu has an obligation to its customers to label every animal-derived material accurately and completely, so that the people spending their money on its platform can make informed decisions about what they are buying and where it came from.

Etsy's fur ban shows what is possible when companies face sustained, organized consumer pressure. The same pressure that changed Etsy's policy can change Temu's. And it should.

Sign this petition to demand Temu immediately ban the sale of fur, wild animal skins, and angora on its platform, require accurate and complete labeling of all animal-derived materials in every product listing, and join the hundreds of companies that have already chosen not to profit from the suffering of animals in the fur industry.
