Stop Swiss Cats from Being Turned Into Coats and Hats

Federal Veterinary Office (FVO) of Switzerland
Sponsored by: 
This petition is calling for a ban on hunting Swiss cats and preparing and exporting cat skins in Switzerland. According to the Swiss association SOS Chats, tens of thousands of cats are killed in Switzerland each year, for their fur. Furthermore, it may not only be Swiss cats which are affected. There have been reports of increasing numbers of cats disappearing from areas of France close to the Swiss borders.

Dear Sir / Madam,

We, the undersigned, ask that the cruel practise of killing and hunting cats for their fur in Switzerland be banned. We also ask for a ban on preparing and exporting cat skins in Switzerland. It is shocking to find out that a great country such as yours has not yet outlawed such barbaric practises.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We hope to hear from you soon.

We do not need to KILL animals for their skins to put around ours as we have many things we can use without slaughtering innocent animals.

Dear Friends, This is sad to hear that such beautiful creatures are being murdered to adorn heartless people. Please consider that these living beings choose to live with us and have for centuries. I hope to find that their trust and mine is valued by you. Thank you for your time and consideration,
