Breaking: Neiman Marcus Group will ditch fur
We are one step closer to a fur-free society now that Neiman Marcus Group, which includes retailers Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Last Call and Horchow, has just announced it will end its use of animal fur in favor of more ethical alternatives. The luxury retailer will end its use of animal fur, and will close all of its fur salons, by early 2023. The new policy is part of a larger strategy by the company to place sustainability and ethics at the heart of its brand.

THIS IS THE FACE OF AN ANIMAL IN DISTRESS
HELP US SAVE THEM FROM CRUELTYDONATE NOWChickens panting with open beaks, obviously in distress. Birds and rabbits shoved in makeshift cages of any kind – a group of chickens was brought in a broken laundry basket with wire on top – and left without water or food all day.

Carol, we just spent an unbearably hot day at a small animal auction in Pennsylvania, and what we documented was devastating.

Sometimes it's hard to keep going, to witness these horrific abuses especially when these disturbing conditions are totally normal. Small animals like chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, and guinea pigs are exempt from most animal protection laws. These animals are completely forgotten by the world – except by people like you.

You and I know this is bigger than us – this is for the animals, and that's what gives me the strength to go to each auction and continue our necessary work. Will you help fund our undercover investigations with a donation to Animals' Angels today. We must get justice for these suffering animals.

NO ANIMAL DESERVES TO BE TREATED WITH SUCH CRUELTY AND INDIFFERENCE

DONATE NOW

No matter how many times we go to auctions and slaughterhouses, it's always shocking. Seeing cardboard boxes stuffed with chickens and ducks – with no air holes on a blistering hot day. We know we just have to work harder to expose every last instance of abuse and neglect.

I know you agree. Please, if you can, make a donation today. Let's keep at it. Let's hold animal abusers accountable. Your gift allows us to do undercover missions like this one, so we can report the cruelty, so we can ultimately end the suffering.

We will keep you posted as this investigation develops.

Sonja Meadows
Animals' Angels Founder & PresidentP.S. Our next step is to share the evidence from this visit with the local humane office and urge them to attend future sales in order to monitor the handling and the housing of these animals. Please support this ongoing investigation – knowing we have your support drives us to work even harder. The animals need us to. Thank you in advance for your help. DONATE NOW
