Humane Society International Australia is a large, supporter-based national organisation that maintains an ongoing and high profile campaign to keep fur out of Australia. Its primary vehicle for doing is their Annual Faux Fur Fashion Show, celebrating fashion without real fur. HSI has gained pledges from the majority of Australia's fashion designers not to use fur, and the Show is also to thank designers for their support. HSI also exposed the sale of fur fashion items that featured dog and cat fur imported from Asia, and is now working towards a national import ban. HSI also concentrates on wildlife and habitat protection issues in Australia and regionally, and maintains a small grants program to help NGOs in the Asia/Pacific Region.

Simply put, animal abuse and the destruction of our environment has an ultimate consequence – the degradation of the human species. An official member of the World Society for the Protection of Animals and the Fur Free Alliance, Global Action Network campaigns against the fur trade through education, grassroots organizing, coalition building, and political networking.

For Europe and International (including the United Kingdom and Ireland), the Design Against Fur focal point is Respect for Animals, a non-governmental organization dedicated solely to campaigning against the cruel and unnecessary international fur trade. Respect for Animals (and Lynx before it) believes fur farming and trapping to be morally indefensible. By using peaceful consumer campaigns, it has virtually destroyed the fur trade in the UK. Worldwide, however, an animal dies every second for “fashion”.
