All eyes on Fur Free Boulder , we're excited and hope your ballot initiative passes. If anyone knows people in Boulder ask them to get out and vote for this import ballot measure!!!! ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ’š

Boulder could become the first city in the state to ban the manufacture and sale of fur products, depending on the results of the Nov. 2 election. Voters at that time will cast a vote on the Humaneโ€ฆ

"Valentino is all set to make waves in the same domain, reveals its CEO Jacopo Venturini in a press statement: โ€œWe are moving full-steam ahead in the research of alternative materials in view of a greater attention to the environment for the upcoming collections.โ€ In a world where mushrooms and pineapples can be converted into leather-like materials (for those who arenโ€™t in the know, look up Mylo or Piรฑatex), surely there is potential to come up with equally viable and safe replacements for real fur?"



Confusing statistics and opposing views make the debate surrounding real versus faux fur somewhat complicated. However, a number of luxury maisons are finally taking a strong stance on the matter

The Fur Free Alliance (a FFM Coalition Partner) handed over more than 880,000 signatures to Italy's G20 delegation calling for urgent global action on fur farming at the upcoming G20 Summit in Rome later this month. Considering the spread of COVID-19 on hundreds of mink fur farms worldwide, the Alliance's 'Stop Deadly Fur' petition urges world leaders to publicly acknowledge that fur farming must end, to protect public and animal health.

We wrote an opinion piece in the Star Tribune addressing the closure of Ribnick's. Clear facts and accuracy really matter.

There were inaccuracies in what the Star Tribune had originally written, e.g. that our ordinance had died in committee. We also needed to set the record straight on the negative impact that this furrier has had on the environment, on endangered animals and of course how cruel fur is to animals used for their furs.

There is no better time for the City Council to pass an ordinance that prohibits the sale of new fur.

Vaccine apartheid Finlandek

Humans in poor countries all around the world still can't get vaccinated. This is disgusting to vaccinate animals that will be slaughtered violently.

Finland will begin vaccinating minks on fur farms against Covid-19 after authorities granted temporary approval for an experimental vaccine, the country's regulator said Friday.

Salma Hayek loves animals, so itโ€˜s no surprise she is happy about Keringโ€™s recent decision to ban fur across all its brands.

What is wrong with Kate Moss, and other celebs, that they're still wearing real furs? How is it that they can have so much status and so little concern for the earth and the creatures that live here? โŒ๐Ÿค‘โŒ๐Ÿค‘โŒ๐Ÿค‘โŒ

Luxury fashion group Kering, parent company to Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, is ditching fur for ethical and animal welfare reasons

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸฝEPIC, Ground-breaking, HUGE, exciting news!

โŒโŒ RIBNICK FURS (the largest furrier in the midwest) IS PERMANENTLY SHUTTING DOWN! โŒโŒ https://tcbmag.com/ribnick-furs-to-close-after-76-years/

When we started this campaign to ban the sale of new fur in Minneapolis, it was not our intention to "close down" any business. We've seen businesses across the world adapt and evolve as social pressure mounts, demanding ethical products. But if they are unwilling to, this is the next best thing!

๐Ÿ’š๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฏ 10,000 + animals (foxes, mink, bears, seals, and other beautiful wild animals) are brutally killed each year to stock businesses like Ribnick Furs. As the last store left in Minneapolis, who's primary product was fur, THIS IS A HUGE WIN. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฏ

But the FUR FREE MINNEAPOLIS campaign isn't over - ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช - the time has never been more ripe to pass the ordinance to ban fur, to make sure no store like this ever opens again in Minneapolis, to stop the remaining furs from being sold and to keep energy building around the country to ban fur EVERYWHERE!

We want to build on this momentum and NEED YOUR HELP to put added pressure on the Minneapolis City Council to make sure this ordinance puts an end to the sale of fur FOREVER.

Call and write the Minneapolis City Council members and let them know you want them to ban the sale of new fur in Minneapolis. Let them know you want to see animals protected from cruelty and to do something positive for the environment.
