No Fur Allowed: Etsy Takes a Stand for Animals After Pressure From PETA
Artistic expression shouldn’t involve suffering—and now this major online market is taking a stand. After facing relentless pressure from PETA and receiving more than 100,000 messages, many from international entity supporters, Etsy committed to banning the sale of fur!
Etsy, an online global marketplace known for artistic and handmade items, will officially launch its new fur-free policy starting August 2026. This victory for animals proves that when compassionate people like you speak up, companies listen—and real change happens.
Why Banning Fur Matters
In the fur industry, workers confine foxes, minks, and other fur-bearing animals to filthy wire cages, subjecting them to severe psychological stress, untreated wounds, and illness before gassing them, electrocuting them, or breaking their necks.
By banning fur, Etsy is joining hundreds of brands and retailers that aren’t contributing to the suffering of animals killed in the fur industry.
Urge Temu to Ban Fur
Despite knowing how animals suffer when killed for fur, online marketplace Temu is flooding its platform with products made from fur, wild-animal skins, angora, and a long list of other products of cruelty. These are each ripped from sentient beings who were treated as disposable commodities and suffered gruesome deaths.
It’s time for Temu to join the hundreds of other companies, including Etsy and e-commerce marketplaces like SHEIN and ASOS, that have banned angora, fur, and wild-animal skins. Temu has the power—and the responsibility—to stop supporting these abusive industries.
