After a year-long campaign against their involvement in the fur trade, fashion retailers Selfridges have declared that they have stopped selling fur in their stores.
On the 19th May, Selfridges confirmed that they have now stopped selling all real fur. A year long campaign saw the various Selfridges stores being picketed, a concerted customer complaints campaign, and associated actions. This is another in a long line of victories for grassroots activists against the fur trade and a great blow to the attempts by their barbaric industry to make the wearing of fur fashionable again.
Here is a transcript of Selfridges' policy:
