PETITION TARGET: ETSY
Ripped from their enclosures by their sensitive tails, shoved into cages filled with other petrified animals, and crying out while hanging upside down, screaming in pain as the skin was peeled from their body – this is the torturous reality for foxes observed in Lady Freethinker’s most recent investigation into fur farms.
Foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals suffer unimaginable cruelty for their fur. Many brands worldwide have instituted fur-free policies and committed to a humane future.
However, the online marketplace Etsy continues to sell the skins of foxes, chinchillas, coyotes, minks, and other animals. Etsy must end its role in animal cruelty.
Many of these pelts come from dedicated fur farmers, who likely engage in typical fur industry practices, such as bludgeoning, gassing, and electrocuting wild animals.
Etsy maintains a “zero tolerance policy” for items that “promote, support or glorify violence” yet allows users to sell fur pelts with holes in the face or with limbs missing.
No animal should be brutally killed and skinned in the name of fashion.
Etsy has the power to save thousands of lives every year. Enforcing a fur ban would be a monumental act and prevent animals from experiencing such horrific suffering.
Sign our petition telling Etsy to adopt an official fur-free policy and stop profiting from animal cruelty.
