Around the world, designers, consumers and Fashion Weeks continue to turn their backs on animal fur. But of the main fashion capitals, only Paris continues to promote cruel fur at its events. Enough is enough. It's time to end this!

Every day, wild animals face poaching, trophy hunting, illegal trafficking and exploitation for fur and entertainment. The numbers tell the story: 🐾 Tens of millions of animals are gassed or electrocuted for fur each year 🐘 25,000 African elephants are poached for their parts each year

Planning your next trip and hoping to see wildlife along the way? 🐾 Not every "close encounter" has the animal's best interests in mind. Here's our rule of thumb: keep your distance. It's the difference between a real encounter and one built on exploitation. Watch the video to learn more ✈️

Trophy hunting is a threat rhinos should not have to face. A rhino’s greatest threats don’t come from nature. They come from human activities. Rhinos have endured through the ages, yet poaching, habitat loss and trophy hunting continue to put their future at risk.

Tens of millions of animals suffer and die every year for frivolous fur fashion, their fur turned into a trim on a coat, a pom on a hat or a keychain. Speak out today, tell Paris Fashion Week organizer Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to commit to a fur-free future now! Share the post

BREAKING New findings from the Animal-Free Safety Assessment (AFSA) Collaboration, led by Humane World for Animals, show that animals are still being used in chemical safety tests that provide no meaningful safety information, leaving animals to suffer for results that may not improve safety.

Humane World for Animals Europe @humaneworldeurope.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

EU law is clear: animal tests should only be used as a "last resort" when assessing chemical safety. But too often, animals are still used by default, even when animal-free options exist. Our new “Decision Trees” tool aims to fix this.

A new article from @eurcorrespond.bsky.social exposes a glaring contradiction in EU policy: in April, the EU banned imports of tanned fur pelts from Russia as part of a sanctions package. Just three months later, in July, EU governments allowed an exemption for Russian sable fur pelt imports.

We're still farming fur for what?

The biggest tusks belong to the oldest elephants. The ones who've learned, over decades, how to lead a herd through drought, danger, and everything in between.

Between 2013 and 2023, over 4,300 brown bear trophies were traded worldwide, nearly 1,900 imported into the EU. Turned into rugs. Ornaments. Proof of a kill. That's not conservation.

📸 That selfie with a monkey, a lion cub or a colourful parrot may seem harmless, but there's often a heartbreaking story behind it. Many animals used for tourist photos are taken from the wild as babies, sometimes after their mothers have been killed.
