PETA Welcome's New Fur-Free Policy at Mahiki Nightclub

Dubai Hotspot Makes Sure That Guests Have the Time of Their Lives Without Costing Animals Theirs

Dubai – Visitors to top Dubai nightspot Mahiki will be turned away at the door if they show up in real fur. That’s because the trendy nightclub has pledged to adopt a fur-free policy, training door staff to spot real fur clothing, in conjunction with their sister club in the UK.

"Mahiki's all about having a good time, but it recognises that there's nothing fun about fur", says Meg Mathews. "We hope that other clubs follow Mahiki's positive example by going fur-free as well."

Animals on fur farms are confined to cramped, filthy cages before they are drowned, beaten, strangled, electrocuted and often even skinned alive in order to produce fur coats, collars and cuffs. In China, the world's largest fur exporter, fur from dogs and cats is often falsely labelled as fur from other animals before it's exported.
