Decades of protests aimed at one of America’s largest department store have led to a monumental victory for animals who are mutilated and killed for fashion: Macy’s has gone fur-free!

Macy’s Inc. has just announced that its ending its sale of fur by the end of 2020. This move will include all of Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s private brands and items sold by partners, and the company will be closing its fur vaults and salons.

Activist campaigns urging Macy’s to go fur-free started back in the 1980s—when we made it our prime target for Fur-Free Friday and activists were arrested for blocking the doors at its Herald Square store in New York and for disrupting its Thanksgiving Day Parade. In recent years, activists urging Macy’s to drop fur have taken hundreds of thousands of actions.

If you’ve ever taken a stance against the filthy, horrifying fur industry, then you’re a part of this victory.

Businesses, states, and even entire countries are banning fur—because people are taking action against an industry that beats, gasses, electrocutes, and skins animals alive for something as superficial as fashion.

This excellent news also means Canada Goose will no longer be able sell its fur-trimmed jackets at Macy’s or Bloomingdales.
