TheCoalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT) refers to a decentralised collective of grassroots groups that campaign internationally against the production and use of animal fur for clothing and other items. It started in the US in the 1990s, whenfur farms were being raided during theAnimal Liberation Front'sOperation Bite Back.[1]
In 2007 CAFT UK announced the results a two-year investigation into the use of rabbit fur. They infiltrated farms, slaughterhouses, dressing companies, manufacturers and retailers, getting photographic and video evidence of the process.[2]
In 2008, CAFT UK ran a campaign against the London-based department storeHarrods, which sold garments containing animal fur.[3]
In 2024, CAFT USA played a role in pressuringMarc Jacobs to end the use of fur in his collections. Jacobs announced the change following demonstrations outside his employees' homes, denouncing the group as "radical" and the tactics as "bullying".[4]
In August 2025, theNew York Post reported that CAFT USA was organizing protests outside the homes ofVogue employees in Manhattan and Brooklyn, accusing the magazine of continuing to promote fur fashion. Protesters yelled through megaphones, chalked messages, and waved flyers labeling the employees as "killers".[5]
