The Early Day Motion (EDM 253) introduced by Judy Mallaber MP, calling on the government to introduce an order requiring all real fur to be clearly labelled, has been signed by 219 Members of Parliament! Now we are calling on the Minister, Kevin Brennan, to protect consumers and introduce a labelling order requiring all real fur on sale to carry a label that clearly states that the item is made using real animal fur, whether or not it has been dyed, and the country of origin of the fur.

Please ask the Minister responsible, Kevin Brennan, to act now to introduce a clear fur labelling system -- allowing compassionate consumers to choose not to support a cruel and unnecessary industry. Visit http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do
