The HSUS Fur-Free Campaign believes that animals need their fur more than we do. Alternative fabrics, both natural and synthetic, eliminate the need to kill animals for this cruel product. Yet each year more than 50 million animals are killed for their fur.

Fox kits may be orphaned by trappers.

Animals killed for their fur include:
dogs and cats raccoon dogs leopard cats wolves mink foxes bobcats	beavers raccoons sables lynx chinchillas endangered wildlife killed as "by-catch"

The Humane Society of the United States has more than 10 million constituents who support our message of compassion towards animals—that's 1 in every 31 people in the United States! With The HSUS as your resource, you will engage the public and reap the benefits of positive audience response.
