FROM LCA Last Chance for Animals
April 2021

This proves how individuals and grassroots organizations can make a positive difference.

Saks Fifth Avenue, a major fur retailer in the United States, has committed to closing all its fur salons by 2022 and to phase out the sale of all fur products by 2023.

This is a major win for the animals and it proves how individuals and grassroots organizations can make a positive difference. LCA would like to thank all the activists that protest on Fur Free Friday every year. Saks is one of many retailers LCA targets in the annual Fur Free Friday protest in Beverly Hills.
LCA applauds Saks Fifth Avenue for their decision to go fur free. Thanks to mounting public pressure, more companies are realizing that fur is an inherently cruel product that has no place in modern society. When speaking of their decision, a Saks spokesperson stated, "the sale of animals for fur remains a significant social issue," which proves that keeping pressure on fur retailers and consumers is having a major impact. The Saks news also points to the increased momentum towards eliminating fur production and sales.

This is a moment to celebrate, but LCA's fight against the barbaric fur industry will continue! See below how you can join the fight.
