Johnson calls on British designers to ban fur sales in the UK

Aiming for the UK to become the first in the world to block the sale of real fur Britain’s top fashion designers ask Boris Johnson to take measures.

Fashion designers with long-term activism for the protection of the environment, such as Stella McCartney, Vivian Westwood, Kathryn Hamnet, as well as their colleagues, Christopher Reibern, Erdem Mouralitou Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson.

The designers, according to the Athens News Agency, emphasize their ability to “thrive without being complicit in the woes caused by the fur trade” and cite the “declining demand” for real fur from UK consumers and retailers.

«We have a common belief that fashion, driven by consumers and facilitated by innovation, is evolving to make animal fur obsolete, as more and more luxury fashion designers and retailers are eliminating it from their collections. Majority of UK consumers reject animal fur for ethical reasons»Refers to the letter.

In addition, the letter provides support for the ongoing #FurFreeBritain campaign by Humane Society International, an organization that promotes animal rights and calls for a complete ban on fur.

«If the UK becomes the first country to ban the sale of animal fur, it will surely boost its reputation as a global hub for fashion ethics innovation.Fashion designers emphasize.

Claire Bass, executive director of Humane Society International in the UK, welcomed the move by the designers, “who refuse to put cruelty on the catwalk because they know there is nothing glamorous about mentally retarded foxes, raccoon dogs being electrocuted, mink infected with COVID-19 and wildly trapped coyotes shot in the head. The vast majority of British consumers reject fur and as the extreme hardness of fur is revealed, a global drop in demand has led the industry into a downward spiral. The killing of animals for fashion does not reflect the brand Britain, even Her Majesty has stopped buying new furs. “Therefore, it is time for our government to ban the fur trade in the history books to which it belongs and to ban the sale of fur,” added Claire Bass.
