Macy's ends fur sales
#1
Macy's is a very large American department store chain. They have hundreds of stores in many states. They did 24 billion US dollars in business in 2018. They are not the first big chain to reject fur.  J.C. Penny and Sears already rejected fur. Many fashion designers like 
Prada, Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Burberry have rejected the use of real fur.
Macy's however is a very big company and their decision will have an impact on what other companies do.

This is a controversial decision, with animal rights groups clashing with pro fur groups. However, the company is making this choice in response to consumer trends. People are rejecting the idea of wearing fur. It hasn't reached a point where all fur is banned. Not all fur sales are discontinued. The fur industry is still fighting to survive. It is a dying industry though. The demand for fur is declining. The stores willing to sell fur are fewer in numbers each year.  Like many other industries based on the misuse of animals, it is coming to an end. 
The signs are there. When big name fashion designers and large department store chains both agree on something, that something is very important. Fur free fashion is the future of the clothing industry and it is a very near future.
