Debate on the import and sale of fur

A number of animal welfare charities, including Four Paws,  the Humane Society International (UK) and Peta UK, are running a Fur Free Britain campaign  calling for a ban on the import and sale of fur in the UK.

According to the British Fur Trade Association, London is one of the major international trading centres for fur pelts, the majority of which are sold through auction houses.
