Born Free USA has relaunched its “Fur for the Animals” campaign: a donation drive to collect fur hats, coats, blankets, and other items, which are then sent to wildlife rehabilitation centers around the country. There, orphaned and injured animals will snuggle into the furs for warmth and comfort. (See adorable photos here!) Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA and Born Free Foundation, says the drive aims to repurpose old furs and to diminish the social status that fur may still have. “With this campaign, people are actually able to repurpose and recycle old furs and give them back to the animals,” Roberts says. “We can’t undo the damage done to the many animals who suffered for those garments, but at least we can achieve some good in the end.”
