New campaign against Eton clothes shop, Sheffield and Rotherham

Sheffield Animal Friends | 11.09.2010 21:31 | Animal Liberation | Sheffield

Today SAF launched a new campaign against Eton, a clothes shop on Division Street in Sheffield selling fur.



For five hours, up to 15 activists stood outside with banners, placards and leaflets, asking members of the public to boycott the shop. Eton is the only shop we know of in Sheffield selling conventional fur (we are soon to start campaigning against a shop selling “vintage” fur) so this campaign will be a priority for SAF. Both the Sheffield and Rotherham branch will be targetted until Eton declare a fur-free policy.

We have demos planned for tomorrow (Sunday) at 2pm, as well as the coming Friday and Saturday. We are also encouraging people to contact Eton to complain about their shameful support for animal cruelty. See the SAF website for updates on the campaign.

Sheffield branch:
38 Division Street
Sheffield, S1 4GF
0114 270 0829

Rotherham branch:
12 Wellgate
Town Centre
Rotherham, S60 2LR

Fur removed from the shop, but no declaration so far

12.09.2010 16:07


Eton had removed the fur items from the windows and the shop floor before we started the demo today. They haven't yet given us a fur-free declaration, and they claimed that the owner is on holiday for a few days. We'll continue to campaign until we receive a guarantee that they now have a fur-free policy, and aren't just keeping the fur in a back room for a few days, but we are confident that they will issue a statement soon.

Demos are still planned for Friday and Saturday (and possibly earlier in the week), but keep an eye on our website or send us an email to check if they're going ahead.
