A number of well-known fashion designers have used seal fur and skins in their collections during the past several fashion seasons. By using seal skin and fur in items such as coats, tunics, dresses, shoes, vests, jackets, handbags, pillows, and even lamp shades, these designers are providing the Canadian government and sealers with an economic incentive to continue the hunt.
Send a letter to these designers and politely request that they make their fashion more compassionate by ending the use of seal fur. Though the use of seal fur and skin is banned in the United States, these designers use seal products in their European and international collections. Here are some points you can make. In addition, please sign our Fur Free pledge.
Send your letters to the following design houses. (If you live in the United States and you send your letters to Italy or Denmark, postage will be 84 cents.)
