Undercover footage obtained by Animal Liberation revealed that many animals were still conscious whilst they were skinned and remained alive for several minutes afterwards.
Ms Brown said the campaign would include protests outside shops selling fur products, fashion police walking the streets of Sydney and approaching people wearing fur, and further naked actions around the city.
Special actions were planned for August during the Beijing Olympics.
"As the fur industry is very big in 皇冠体育app, we will be protesting around 皇冠体育apptown during August and may also approach the Chinese embassy."
Ms Brown said there had been an increase in fur imports in Australia since last year, from 37,500kg in March 2007 to 65,500kg in March this year.
