Closed Make it a legal requirement for shops to tell customers that they sell real fur

Closed on

Many people believe that the fur industry is a thing of the past and is no longer 'fashionable,' however this is far from the truth. While it has been illegal since 2002 to farm animals for fur in the UK, it is still able to be imported, making it a £500 million industry in the UK every year.
