2021 Fur-Free Friday Protest
The 35th Annual Fur-Free Friday protest was held on November 26th, 2021, and called on governments to Ban Fur Globally and retailers to Stop Selling Cruelty. Demonstrators marched along Rodeo Drive, protesting outside retailers still selling fur (including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Dolce & Gabbana).
The Fur-Free Friday protest was attended by an amazing group of dedicated activists, including artist E.G. Daily, actress Alexandra Paul and LCA President and Founder Chris DeRose. A video billboard truck displayed graphic images of the extreme cruelty inflicted on animals by the fur industry.
Animal Defenders International, CompassionWorks International, In Defense of Animals, Los Angeles Animal Save, Orange County Animal Liberation, and Animal Alliance Network co-hosted and attended the protest.

California Bans the Sale of Fur Products - Effective 1/1/2023
On October 12, 2019, Governor Newsom signed AB 44 into law, making California the first state in the nation to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products. The bill does not go into effect until January 1, 2023. LCA is demanding retailers in California and the rest of the world to immediately stop selling fur products—and not wait until 2023. Let retailers know you won't support them until they commit to going fur-free NOW!
2020 Fur-Free Friday Protest
11/27/20 - LCA's 34th Annual Fur-Free Friday demonstration also raised awareness about the link between COVID-19 and mink fur farms. Since April 2020, there have been outbreaks of the virus on mink farms in over 10 countries, and over 200 people in Europe have become sick with mink-related strains of the illness. Statistics from the USDA show there have been COVID-19 outbreaks on mink farms in wisconsin, Utah, Michigan, and Oregon. At least one person has died as a result of the outbreaks. In Canada, COVID-19 outbreaks have been detected at mink farms in British Columbia.
The Fur-Free protest was attended by an amazing group of dedicated activists, including actress Nicky Whelan. LCA Founder Chris DeRose also made a special appearance. Demonstrators educated the public about the link between COVID-19 and mink fur farms and stopped outside retailers still selling fur (Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Dolce & Gabbana), urging these companies to going fur-free immediately before the California fur ban is enacted in 2023.
