Rabbit

Rabbits
Rabbits live with their families in underground burrows called "warrens." They communicate through body language and make lifelong bonds with other rabbits and humans. They love to play with toys and can even learn to use litterboxes. Want to know the coolest thing about rabbits? They can hop faster than you can run!

Rabbits on fur farms are kept in tiny, filthy cages, surrounded by their own waste. They never have a chance to dig, jump, or play. These intelligent and social animals deserve better, and that's why you should never ever wear real fur.

Foxes
Foxes are nocturnal, which means that they are awake at night and asleep during the day. Foxes use their big, bushy tails to spread scents to communicate. Female foxes in families all work together to care for the families' babies, and young foxes learn how to take care of themselves by playing!

Foxes on fur farms are also forced to live in small, dirty cages. Foxes in the wild are caught in steel-jaw leg-hold traps that snap shut around their legs, which hurts a lot! For these reasons (and all the others) forget fur and go faux!

Fox
Raccooon

Raccoons
Raccoons are fuzzy and beautiful, with black "masks" around their eyes. They are also nocturnal, but they sometimes play during the day when people aren't around. Raccoons are very smart and can figure out how to open complicated locks.

Raccoons on fur farms live in the same horrible conditions that foxes and rabbits endure. Raccoons (like foxes) are often caught in steel-jaw leg-hold traps. Many raccoons will try to chew off their own legs in order to free themselves from these traps.

Remember: Fur only looks good on its original owner!
