Following protests, vintage clothing and fancy dress outlet Celias on Derby road has decided to no longer sell real fur. Campaigners welcomed the move as “yet another clear message to the fur trade that animal cruelty has no place on our high streets.”

More than 45 million animals worldwide, including raccoons, dogs, rabbits, foxes, mink, and chinchillas, are raised in cages and killed each year for their fur. Not only are cage-raised animals killed inhumanely, but they suffer from numerous physical and behavioural abnormalities induced by the stress of caging conditions. After spending their short lives in squalid conditions, animals raised on fur farms are killed by cruel methods that preserve their pelt, such as gassing, neck-breaking and anal electrocution.
Some are even skinned alive.
Fur farming is illegal in the UK and unfashionable in most of the world but there are still a number of enterprises that will do anything to make money regardless of the suffering caused.
