It has come to our attention that a shop in council-owned Leeds Kirkgate Market, the Chinese Lowest Price Shop, is selling key rings and ‘nodding dog’ toys made entirely of fox and rabbit fur.

The market is owned by Leeds City Council, who have previously signed up to ethical policies regarding various aspects of animal abuse.

Undercover investigations into the Chinese fur trade have revealled routing suffering and cruelty, including animals being skinned alive and clubbed to death.

Please contact both the shop and Leeds City Council and ask that all fur is immediately removed from sale. Demonstrations will begin next week at the shop and council offices and events against their involvement in sickening animal abuse:
