Despite being made aware of the cruelty which forms a part of the trade in animal pelts, owner Helen Adderley continues to purvey these items.
During the farming of foxes for their fur, the animals are forced to live in bare wire mesh cages little bigger than themselves. Stereotypic behaviour, such as self mutilation and cannibalism, is rife.
When it comes to being killed, the story isn’t much prettier. Electrocution is one preferred method, where foxes are literally burnt to death inside out with a high voltage shock. Other ways of slaughtering include gassing, throats being slit and even skinning animals alive.
Please boycott Dusty & Dylan and contact them to let them know fur is always dead:

:: SAMPLE LETTER ::
Dear Dusty & Dylan,
I was sickened to hear that your shop is currently selling items containing real fur.
Inside fur farms, animals are treated with appauling cruelty. Caged in isolation, they often gnaw at their own limbs to vent their frustration. Undercover investigations have also revealed sick and injured animals left to die.
When it comes to slaughter, animals are gassed, electrocuted and sometimes even skinned alive.
Until you stop selling real fur, I will be taking my custom elsewhere.
Yours Sincerely,
[Name]
