What the petition asks

We need a ban on the import of real fur into the UK.The fur trade is barbaric and unethical.Animals are tortured for their skins.Humans have no need for real fur in the UK.
Fur farms are banned in the UK because of the cruelty involved so we should not be importing fur from other countries either.Animals are electrocuted and skinned alive.Some are gassed,bludgeoned,drowned.
