Forget Black Friday–this year, why not spend the day after Thanksgiving supporting a worthy cause instead of getting trapped in the mall (and credit card debt)?

As a dog lover, I’m also an animal lover in all shapes and forms. That’s why I plan to join In Defense of Animals and activists throughout the United States to stand up for the millions of animals killed for their fur.

Every year, over 50 million animals are brutally killed and skinned to make fur products. While many companies have pledged to go fur-free, other popular brands continue to cause and profit from animal suffering.

Fur Free Friday is the day after Thanksgiving all over the country. You can join an event in your area or plan one of your own. (This year, they’re encouraging activists to hold demonstrations in front of Nordstrom, still a major carrier of fur products. To find the Nordstrom location closest to you, click here.)
