Detail of outcome

We received 29,406 responses to this consultation.

In our animal welfare strategy for England,  we committed to bringing together a working group on fur, with involvement from both industry experts and those who support restrictions on the trade in fur, to explore concerns and the different ways in which they could be addressed. 

We will consider the evidence presented in this summary of responses as part of this work, along with other relevant evidence.
