This year, 4,500,000 foxes will be killed for the fur trade, so companies like INTERMIX can profit from their imprisonment and slaughter.
The fur industry won’t end tomorrow, but we can begin chipping away at it today. Our INTERMIX: Please Go Fur Free petition has almost hit 50,000 signatures- a number this company surely cannot ignore!
Meet Vixey.
She was rescued as a puppy from a fur farm. If she’d stayed there, like millions of other foxes, she would have been anally or vaginally electrocuted to become part of a fur coat for companies like INTERMIX.
Fur-bearing animals, like foxes, are no different from the dogs & cats we live with and love. If we don’t stop their slaughter, no one will.
On behalf of Vixey, please sign and share our INTERMIX fur-free petition.
INTERMIX sells fur from China, where dog pelts are frequently unlabeled and mixed in with others (2,000,000 dogs & cats die annually in China for the fur trade).
If this doesn’t bother you, don’t sign the petition.
True Religion has yet to reply to our petition or campaign asking them to stop selling fur from trapped coyotes and Chinese raccoon dogs. Once a fur-free retailer, True Religion recently went back on their humane promise and decided to give in to pressure from the fur industry.
Fur “fashion” is NEVER worth the horrific cruelty committed behind manufacturers’ doors. Please sign & share the petition widely!

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit (I’m sure you all enjoyed the break from my Intermix posts…don’t get too comfortable, they’ll be back soon!). My family & I popped down to Mexico for some R&R!
But don’t you worry, I stuck to my tree kissing roots ;)
True Religion was on The Humane Society’s list of fur free retailers (until yesterday!), but they’ve gone back on their promise and have begun selling fur. Not only have they lied to consumers, but they’re getting their fur from China, a country with virtually no animal protection laws, and some of the worst animal cruelty we’ve ever seen. Animals killed for their fur on Chinese fur farms are kept in tiny, filthy cages before they are beaten, anally electrocuted, and in many cases, skinned alive…
The fur vest True Religion has for sale is labeled as “Raccoon Fur”. However, raccoon’s are not native to China, but Raccoon dogs are. Raccoon Dogs are a fox-like nocturnal residents of Asian and northern European forests that bear a remarkable resemblance to raccoons. Despite their resemblance to Raccoons, they are part of the canine family.
Please urge True Religion to recommit to their promise of being a fur-free retailer, and continue to support compassion in fashion.

Have you joined our “I Will Not Shop at INTERMIX Until They Go Fur-Free” photo campaign yet? It’s a fun, quick, and easy way to stand up for the lonely and forgotten fur-bearing animals sitting in fur farm cages. Intermix needs to see the faces of the shoppers they’ve lost due to their refusal to go humane.
