WHO WE ARE:
The Anti-Fur Society is a group of dedicated, committed and caring volunteers working around the world to better the lives of fur-bearing animals. The Anti-Fur Society is a project of the Misha Foundation, a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that operates solely on its founder’s donations. Because the Misha Foundation/Anti-Fur Society is a 501(c)(4) organization, it is not restricted in its political involvement. Its members can lobby public officials and campaign for or against candidates for public office. However, this also means that your contribution to the Misha Foundation/Anti-Fur Society is not tax-deductible. The majority of our work centers around supporting other groups financially, or in other capacities, and for this we depend upon, and greatly appreciate, your generous contributions. 100% of your gift will go toward helping fur-bearing animals regardless of their geographical location.
OUR MISSION:
Most people do not comprehend the extent of the fur industry’s brutality. Furriers have no morals or compassion toward those whose flesh and fur they have harvested. By informing consumers across the globe, we hope to encourage them to make more conscientious choices about the merchandise they purchase. Our mission is to discourage the production or wearing of fur or leather, to promote the production and consumption of cruelty-free products and to work with anti-fur groups and activists to help achieve this.
OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to connect anti-fur groups around the planet, like links in a chain. Each group can promote awareness of the issues at stake to people in their respective communities. If we don’t educate and convince every man, woman and child on the planet about the barbaric practices of the fur industry, we will never live to see the suffering of fur-bearing animals come to an end. Thus, our focus is to form groups or support already existing groups that are involved in rescuing animals in areas notorious for particularly cruel methods of fur production. Through diplomacy, education, outreach and demonstrations, we strive to make people around the world aware of the intense suffering caused by the making of fur and leather garments. Currently, we are successfully networking with groups in particularly troubled areas to achieve two main goals: First, to help animals in dire need. Second, to teach by example in order to bring forth the unrealized compassion in most people.
