New Campaign Targets Dillard’s, The Last Major US Department Store To Sell Fur

Animal rights organizations, including Born Free, Four Paws, HSUS, and Last Chance for Animals, have launched a nationwide campaign urging Dillard’s to go fur-free like its competitors. Nordstrom saw a positive stock increase after announcing it was going fur-free, and multiple other department stores have already removed fur from their catalogs. Dillard’s remains the only major US department store selling real animal fur, with activists stressing the cruelty of fur production and urging the chain to make a change.

Dillard’s has faced legal scrutiny for falsely labeling items as faux fur when they contained raccoon dog fur. Activists want a complete ban on fur sales, emphasizing the suffering of animals farmed for their pelts. Approximate 100 million animals are raised each year for their fur, enduring inhumane conditions and brutal deaths. Thousands have already supported the campaign to encourage Dillard’s to stop selling fur.
