73% Informative

Denver voters are being asked to decide whether two industries — fur and slaughter — have a place in their city.

Nearly 100 million animals are slaughtered for fur annually , including dogs and cats whose fur is sometimes illegally sold in the US under deceptive labels.

Most animals killed for fur spend their lives in tiny cages where they exhibit signs of extreme stress, including self-mutilation.

Mickey Pardo : Transitioning away from fur and slaughter industries isn't just a moral imperative.

Science shows that it’s an investment in a safer, more equitable and more sustainable future.

Pardo is a professional biologist, has a Ph.D. from Cornell University in animal behavior.
