Dear Friends and Readers,
Please read the following Action Alert from PETA. I’ve sent my customised letter based on PETA’s draft and it only takes a couple of minutes to spare hundreds/ thousands of animals from being skinned alive for their fur.

| Dear Supporters,
We need your help to stop the Fur Council of Canada (FCC) from making outrageous claims that fur is “environmentally friendly.”
Consumers know that fur is the product of a violent and cruel industry that slaughters millions of individual seals, rabbits, and other animals each year for their skin. By making these false claims, the FCC is trying to deliberately mislead consumers into thinking that buying fur helps the environment.
The fur industry pollutes the Earth with highly toxic chemicals, including sulfuric acid, formaldehyde, and ammonia. A farmed-fur coat takes more than 15 times more energy to produce than a faux-fur coat, and dressing and dyeing furs is classified as high-polluting by Canada’s National Environment Protection Bureau. More than 60 percent of the animals used for fur garments are bred by the Canadian fur industry specifically to be killed for their pelts—which is in direct contradiction to the FCC’s claims of balancing “surplus” populations of animals.
Concerned Canadian citizens have filed a complaint with Canada’s Competition Bureau asking for an investigation. Please click here to add your voice, as there is nothing “green” about killing animals for their fur.
Thank you for all that you do for animals.
Sincerely,
Megan Hartman
Assistant Director of Campaigns
