How a Donation From PETA Is Warming Afghanis in Need
PETA and Life for Relief and Development have joined forces again—this time to deliver more than 200 fur coats to men, women, and children in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Thanks to the fur-coat donations made by folks who had a change of heart about whom they’re wearing, PETA shipped 210 coats to Life for Relief and Development, which then distributed them to Afghanis in need. During the winter months, temperatures dip well below freezing in the Afghani capital.
Like PETA, Life for Relief and Development is on a mission to save lives. This global organization is dedicated to providing people—regardless of race, gender, religion, or cultural background—with humanitarian aid.
PETA can’t bring back the rabbits, minks, foxes, and other animals who were caged and electrocuted for their fur, but we can still help humans in desperate need.
Most animals used for fur spend their lives inside cramped cages, where they frantically pace back and forth, gnaw on the bars, and mutilate themselves, before they’re bludgeoned, electrocuted, gassed, or poisoned. Those who are trapped in their natural habitat may suffer for days before trappers arrive to shoot, strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. If humans saw firsthand how these terrified animals were slaughtered, everyone would wear only vegan materials.
We encourage people everywhere to donate their fur or fur-trimmed coats to help those who have few options in life—the only people with any excuse to wear them. Clean out your closet and clear your conscience. Make a tax-deductible donation today by mailing your unwanted furs to the address below.

Help Shut Down the Fur Industry
Always choose something vegan to wear—not someone. With so many warm, comfy vegan options on the market these days, shopping cruelty-free is easy! Take PETA’s fur-free pledge and let companies that still kill animals for their skin and fur know that you won’t buy any item that’s stolen off someone’s back.
