Woody Harrelson has narrated a new video produced by the Humane Society of the United States that promotes the end of using animals for fur.

The actor, vegetarian, environmentalist and animal advocate said of his cause:

“It’s always difficult for people to deal with images of animal cruelty head-on; no one wants to look at what really goes into the making of fur. This video is so impactful because it lets you know without having to see.”

“I really hope it makes fashion designers and consumers think twice about using and wearing animal fur, when so many great alternatives are available and just as stylish.”
