The vigil is a tribute to the animals who have lost their lives at the hands of the fur trade, either as sought after animals, or as \u201cnon-targeted\u201d animals who were accidentally caught in traps (birds, endangered species, dogs and cats). We invite everyone to assemble and honor their memory by publicly standing against fur.

Animals trapped for their fur are caught in traps and typically die cruel deaths, often breaking bones and teeth or chewing off their own limbs trying to escape from the traps, others die due to dehydration or starvation. Animals raised in fur farms live in small cramped caged where they eat, sleep, urinate and defecate. These animals are killed by electrocution, gas chamber, or breaking of their neck or spine or worse.<\/p>\n<p>The SPCA is asking the public to think about what choices they make when purchasing a winter jacket or coat. We have worked with and continue to support the incredible work of the Fur Bearer Defenders, which is very consistent with the SPCA\u2019s philosophy.
