This year, 4,500,000 foxes will be killed for the fur trade, so companies like INTERMIX can profit from their imprisonment and slaughter.
The fur industry won’t end tomorrow, but we can begin chipping away at it today. Our INTERMIX: Please Go Fur Free petition has almost hit 50,000 signatures- a number this company surely cannot ignore!
If any kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming they would never touch meat again. I was so moved by the intelligence, sense of fun and personalities of the animals I worked with on “Babe” that by the end of the film I was a vegetarian.
I will forever cherish the day I met James Cromwell (in the pig pen at Animal Acres!)
Foxes spend their entire lives in filthy, cramped conditions, in which many lives are lost to infection or cannibalism, until they are slaughtered to become vests or fur trim for INTERMIX.
We’re close to hitting 50,000 signatures on our INTERMIX: Please Stop Selling Fur petition- help us get there! Do it for them.
True Religion has yet to reply to our petition or campaign asking them to stop selling fur from trapped coyotes and Chinese raccoon dogs. Once a fur-free retailer, True Religion recently went back on their humane promise and decided to give in to pressure from the fur industry.
Fur “fashion” is NEVER worth the horrific cruelty committed behind manufacturers’ doors. Please sign & share the petition widely!

Turn a Heart-Wrenching Story into a Miraculous Victory!
Ricardo, his wife Mary, and their two children
Ricardo Cote, animal rescuer, father of two, and loyal husband, needs our help NOW.
This story is extremely close to my heart- Ricardo is our friend’s husband. He only has one week before he is supposed to be deported.
A baby born from his mother’s rape, Ricardo’s grandparents viewed him as an embarrassment and kept him in a cupboard, away from human interaction or compassion, until age seven. His mother finally rescued him and took him to the United States, where he learned to communicate with humans. Now, 42 years later, the US government is trying to send him away from his wife, children, and troupe of rescued animals.
Some of Ricardo’s many, many rescues, whose fates will be unknown if he is deported.
PLEASE take a moment to sign & share this petition. Ricardo is an inspiration and the embodiment of the American dream. Let’s save him.

What Do YOU Think Of True Religion Selling FUR?
If you missed our recent post, here’s the short version: True Religion, a brand that once promised the Humane Society of the United States it was completely fur-free, and a company that prides itself in American-made materials, is selling raccoon dog fur from China! (which, as you know, is home of the world’s worst animal cruelty!)
We’ve heard their CEO, Jeff Lubell, is a beloved and well-respected guy. I have to believe this news will affect him. So please, leave a polite comment for Jeff about how YOU feel about True Religion’s decision to sell dog fur.
(and also, sign the petition!)
