9 Easy Ways to Make a Statement About Fur

1. Shop ’til they drop! Whenever you’re ready to hit the shopping mall, make sure you don a fur "public service announcement" before heading out the door. Attach an anti-fur button to your winter coat or, if Aunt Irma’s old moth-eaten mink stole is still hanging around in the attic, dust it off and bring it up to date with a red paint job and an anti-fur message. A similar impact could be made with a red-paint-spattered fake fur or a jazzed-up jean jacket decorated with colorful designs and catchy slogans.

2. Sponsor an ad! To see the anti-fur ads that are available from PETA, click here.

3. Confront "cavepeople"! To let fur-wearers know that their choice of outerwear is outdated, you don’t have to go as far as Megan and friends, who, disturbed by the number of unenlightened people they saw wearing fur at the annual Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, Calif., decided to take action. Every time they saw someone wearing fur, they yelled, "Fur!" and showered the fur-wearer with a "snowstorm" of marshmallows. Just start up a conversation within hearing distance about the gruesome facts of fur, or hand out a fur card.

4. Stick to the subject! Use PETA’s anti-fur stickers to decorate everything from envelopes to handbags. (We’ve seen stickers in the most unusual places, like tollbooths, escalators, public telephones, and even foreheads!)

5. Show PETA’s "Fur Farming Exposé" video at an information table, at a demonstration, or to a local environmental group. Narrated by Stella McCartney, it goes behind the scenes of a fur farm to expose the animal suffering that makes the fur trade an international disgrace. To order, contact our Merchandise Department, or call PETA for information on how to order the video on loan.

6. Hit the streets! Help spread the word with fur cards and leaflets. Click here to order anti-fur and anti-leather leaflets, posters, bumper stickers, and cards.

7. Adopt a theater! Symphonies, ballets, and other theatrical events—including movies—often bring out the fur in people. Make a date with a friend to distribute cards or leaflets outside a local theater every Friday or Saturday night (or both!).

8. Keep ’em posted! Remember, the pen is mightier than the sword, so take every opportunity to educate and protest in writing. Share the shocking facts about fur by writing brief letters to the editors of your local newspapers. Write to papers and television and radio stations any time you see or hear a fur ad. Be sure to complain to department stores with fur salons and to stores and mail-order catalogs that carry fur items. (Some activists remove those annoying subscription cards from magazines that flagrantly flaunt cruel fashions, write anti-fur messages on them, and pop them in the mail—letting the periodicals pay for the postage!) Always keep a stack of PETA fur cards and leaflets on hand to include with bill payments, orders, and anything else you mail.

9. Demonstrate your passion for compassion! Pick up a sign and take up a position on the sidewalk in front of the local fur salon or shopping mall. A demonstration can be anything from one person handing out leaflets to a daunting parade of "mourners" at a fur "funeral." The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
