Boycott shops that sell fur, and politely but firmly explain your actions to management
Donate your fur to wildlife. Many of us have fur apparel that we no longer want or that was left to us by a family member. Give it back to the animals. If you would like to see that old fur put to a good use, donate it to The Humane Society of the United States' Coats for Cubs program. The fur will aid and comfort wildlife. See here for more details.
Educate fur wearers. If you see someone wearing fur, whether it is a full-length coat or trim on the cuffs or hood, talk to them about the cruelty of fur, or hand them a brochure or card. Resources available here.
Write a letter to the editor. The letters to the editor section is one of the most commonly read sections of newspapers and magazines, so it's a great way to reach a very large audience. Letters to the editor are widely read by community leaders and lawmakers trying to judge public sentiment. You can use such letters to challenge information or views about fur not accurately addressed in a news article or editorial. More info here
Wear an anti-fur shirt, necklace, or button, and put a bumpersticker on your car. HSUS's fur-free pin here
Show videos to your friends and relatives In lieu of birthday or holiday gifts, ask your fur-wearing friends and relatives to watch a video exposing the fur trade.
