Petition: Ban Fur Imports into the UK We ask the Government to ban the import and sale of all fur products in the UK. Fur farming is banned here due to cruelty, yet imports support suffering abroad. We believe that this ban would align UK laws with ethical and environmental responsibility, closing the loophole that fuels the fur trade.

Fur farming is banned in the UK, yet imports still fund the cruelty. It’s time to close this loophole and ban fur for good.

Sign the petition now! 🦊🚫
