After decades of pressure from PETA, including countless e-mails and phone calls from our supporters, Gucci will finally go completely fur-free very soon.
Its CEO, Marco Bizzarri, announced during London Fashion Week that the brand’s new fur-free policy will begin with the 2018 spring collection—preventing minks, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, and other sensitive animals from being slaughtered for their fur.
Gucci now joins an impressive line-up of major fur-free fashion brands, including Armani, HUGO BOSS, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Tommy Hilfiger.

PLEASE HELP ELLIE WALK AGAIN!
If we can’t raise funding for her tests and scans then the only real option for Ellie is PTS
We are yet again thrust into a nightmare scenario where one of our gentlest of souls is currently under veterinary care whilst they try to diagnose a very serious neurological issue. Ellie has never been given a chance of a home or a chance to show her gentle kindness, simply because she is a Rottweiler, and yet, she is the sweetest, gentlest, and most beautiful of souls we have ever been privileged to meet.
This week Ellie has taken a really bad turn. Her back legs have given out. She is a young dog and we are still at the vets with her trying to figure out what the issue is. For sure it’s neurological, but this darling girl just doesn’t understand what is going on. She is so down, crying, whimpering for reassurance and it’s tearing us apart that we the answer until we can provide her with series of tests.
She needs MRI and other several in depth tests that the vet needs to do, but the biggest cost is the time taken to do these. Without the tests and our fast reaction she may not walk again. Her front legs have given out and we can only know if surgery or physio can correct this.
If we can’t raise funding for her tests and scans then the only real option for Ellie is PTS.
She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her and we can’t explain. We just know she needs medical help and without your precious help we simply cannot afford this. We are a tiny rescue charity, utterly dependant on you, our loving supporters to help us with each of our rescues. You are our rescue. We truly can’t do anything for our dogs without you. You are the lifeblood of our rescue and the only people who care enough to help this poor girl to walk again.

Marked: For Ellie
She can’t speak, she can’t ask, she can’t beg. We are her voice and we want to save her life and get to the bottom of this critical problem. Without your support her chances are very slim indeed.
Please, we beg you, help this big girl to feel the joy of walking normally again.
Thank You,

More positive action in the House of Commons to ban live animal exports from the UK once it leaves the EU.
Teresa Villiers (Conservative Member of Parliament) introduced a ten minute bill into the House of Commons asking to ban Live Animal Exports for slaughter or further fattening as soon as we leave the European Union.
She confirmed that all attempts to do this over the years since the 1970’s had failed due to EU free trade rules.
She covered people’s concerns over the World Trade Organisation which controls trade even once we leave the EU. This organisation has written into its rules that trade can be stopped if it effects the general publics morals and already things like seal skins, dog fur, cat fur, ivory etc where coming under these rules and countries were banning the import of such items.
We thank Teresa and other supporters of this Bill, which passed and is now heading forward to its second reading – The bill went through unopposed and the second reading is to be on the 2nd February 2018.
Hopefully, the UK taking positive moves for action when the EU does not give a toss. Yet another reason why the people of the UK voted to leave the EU.

As we have exposed many times in the past on this site; for example; the EU is utterly incapable of enforcing its very own legislation that is supposed to protect live animals in transport – Regulation EU 1/2005 of 22/12/2004.
So again as we have said before, why pay money into a club that cannot even enforce the rules set up by the club ?
And all those alleged super intellegents at the EU are just starting to realise that without the financial contribution UK, the EU is going to have big financial problems. If they had enforced their rules like they are supposed to do, then maybe the people of the UK would have voted to remain in the EU, rather than do a Brexit.
Mr Junker – Head Of EU Commissions – all talk and no enforcement of the regulations.
Here are just a few of our past links showing why we have NO faith in the EU. Video links are included which we suggest you view – the proof that the EU is all talk and no real enforcement action.
Please watch the videos as they show / list all the infringements of Reg 1/2005 which the EU does not undertake.
REVEALED: The 70 BILLION reasons why the EU doesn’t want Britain to LEAVE Brussels
SAV Comment – also as we have shown on this site for 10+ years, the EU does NOTHING to get Serbia to enforce the ‘rule of law’ (supposedly as required by the EU for all nations wishing the join the EU) with regard the treatment and care of stray animals within Serbia. Serbia does not enforce its own rules (national legislation), yet it wants to join the EU. What does the EU do ? – it hands out Billions of Euros to Serbia as a ‘sweetner’ for when it becomes an EU member state, yet neither the EU or Serbia put any pressure on the Serbian government to make sure Serbian strays are treated in accordance with Serbian national legislation.
So why do we in the UK want to support these ‘weasel worders who do nothing’ ? – NO- we get out of the EU and leave them all to pick up the financial tab whilst they continue to enforce nothing ! – a sort of ‘they get what they deserve’ approach many Brits would say.
EUROPEAN Union leaders are desperate for Britain to remain part of the bloc as its huge budget contributions will be sorely missed.
Politicians from across Europe have begun to panic as they have realised they will be €70billion short once the UK leaves the EU.
Regional leaders met in Helsinki for the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPRM), where they questioned the impact of Brexit on the EU budget.
Come March 2019, when Brexit is finalised, the EU’s €1trillion budget will be severely depleted, which could be bad news for some of the smaller regions of the member countries.
The 160 regional presidents gathered in Finland have expressed concerns about what the budget reduction could mean for them.

Dear Mark,
I was visiting this shop today, where five years ago I had glued labels against fur on the price tag of fur articles.
I just wanted to know if and how much fur is still sold there.
In the women’s department I found a lot of fur. No fur coats anymore, that’s been out of fashion anyway.
But a lot of fur collar, furry parts in jackets and coats.
This shop is expensive and elegant.
How can such a department store justify selling fur?
I had this thought, when I had an expensive jacket with a fur collar in my hand. And tried to find out from which victim this came.
I found this “information” about the origin of the fur, and I photographed it, although the saleswoman was very angry.
The Label Says it All
– Produced with ‘care and respect’ on European fur farms!
Have a look here on the links below at the care and respect which is shown on European fur farms.
The last video shows conditions at ‘Europe’s finest fur farm – as run by the Chairman of the European Fur Breeders – see what you think about the ‘care and respect’ undertaken.
This explanation is nothing but a shameful lie.
Like the “bio-lie” with photos of happy cows, who only spend their whole life in dirty, dark stables, but the meat mafia tells the stupid consumers that they only enjoy meadows and sun.
This company wanted to tell us that only the finest animals are used according to the European furry regulations.
Ready to die ? – A fur farm employee and one of her prisoners.
What in fact means: only the best bodies are tortured, massacred, skinned, even under the blessing of the European “animal protection” regulations, which for most animals nothing else is, but considered the lucrative and criminal rules of a crime syndicate called EU !!.
This outrageous lie about the “painless” origin of the fur, seems to me to be a defense of the fur industry.
The effect of education, the protests from the animal rights scene and the organizations is apparently so strong, that they should invent a fairy tale to calm the conscience of the furriers.
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
“I eat meat, but no animal has to spend his life in hell!”
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
This is the “bio-lie” which in Germany is also called “Tierwohl”.
This is how the meat mafia works, so the fur mafia works.
The worst is that there are stupid and indifferent consciences who like to believe such lies.
So that they can continue with calm conscience as an accomplice in this industry of torture and brutal exploitation.
There is no animal product which is eaten or worn which is not associated with pain and suffering.
We did it, and we made this world for the animals to hell.
Everyone has to realize this at last, and it is our task to make this reality known to all people.
Due to concerns on animal welfare and ethics, fur farming bans are increasingly widespread. Next to that, more and more countries are phasing out fur farming or are adopting stricter regulations that cause fur farms to close down.
The first countries to ban fur farming were the United Kingdom (2000) and Austria (2004). In December 2012, the Netherlands, which is the EU’s second largest mink producer, passed a ban on fur farming and will phase-out mink production entirely by 2024.
In Croatia a fur farming ban is adopted in 2007 with a 10 year phase-out period for existing farms.
Slovenia banned fur farming in March 2013 with a three year phase-out for existing farms.
Other countries that banned fur farming are Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia
and the Republic of Macedonia.
The most recent country to adopt a fur farming ban is Czech Republic (August, 2017).
Proposed legislation to prohibit fur farming is currently being considered in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.
Partial bans
Before The Netherlands adopted a mink ban in 2012, fox and chinchilla fur production was already out-phased in the mid-1990s.
In 2009 Denmark introduced a similar ban including a phase-out period on fox farming.
Hungary adopted a ban on mink, fox and raccoon dog farming in 2011 and only allows rabbit and angora farming.
