At the end of their miserable lives, they face a horrific death—often by gassing, electrocution, or poisoning.

Despite hearing from PETA that animals are bludgeoned, drowned, electrocuted, gassed, and skinned alive in the fur trade, Shopbop and other companies continue to sell fur and profit from this cruelty. You can encourage them to stop:
