Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade

(Redirected from The Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade)

The Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT) is an informal international coalition of grassroots groups that campaign against the production and use of animal fur for clothing and other items. It started in the US in the 1990s, when fur farms were being raided during the Animal Liberation Front's Operation Bite Back.[1]

edit

There are several CAFT branches around the world. As at Oct 2008, the UK division was running a campaign against the London-based department store Harrods, which sold garments containing animal fur.[2]

In 2007 CAFT-UK announced the results a two-year investigation into the use of rabbit fur. They infiltrated farms, slaughterhouses, dressing companies, manufacturers and retailers, getting photographic and video evidence of the process.[3]
