Depop, Mercari, and Poshmark continue to allow users to buy and sell fur garments and accessories. That means anyone browsing their platforms can come across items made from animals who were electrocuted, gassed to death, or killed in some other horrific way—all for a coat, trim, or keychain.
Foxes are devoted parents who live in close family groups, with both parents—and even older siblings—working together to raise and teach the pups. Minks are naturally curious, energetic animals who spend their days exploring, swimming, and caring for their young.
Yet in the fur industry, these same animals are denied every natural instinct and comfort. Most of the world’s fur comes from fur factory farms, where they’re confined to cramped wire cages and deprived of the ability to run, swim, play, or care for their families. Many go insane from the stress of confinement before being killed by gassing, electrocution, or other crude methods. Others are caught in steel traps that clamp onto their limbs or crush their necks, leaving them to suffer from bleeding wounds, exposure, or predation. This cruelty is exactly why hundreds of major retailers and online marketplaces like Walmart, ASOS, Shein, Farfetch, Net-a-Porter, and Etsy have banned fur.
By permitting fur sales, Depop, Mercari, and Poshmark normalize cruelty and help keep the fur trade alive. Please urge them to ban it now!
