Week of Action Against Selfridges Involvement In The Fur Trade

Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade | 09.05.2005 12:35 | Animal Liberation | Birmingham | London

9th May to the 15th sees a week of action against fashion retailer Selfridges continued involvement in the barbaric fur trade.

Selfridges is a very influential name in the world of fashion. They continue to sell real rabbit fur, and trying to justify this by using the myth that rabbit fur is a by-product of the rabbit meat industry.
This is a lie spread by the fur trade to try to encourage a revival in fur sales. It is important to take action to stop this latest attempt by the fur trade to revive fur sales.

We are holding a week of action to ensure Selfridges get the message that selling fur is wholly unacceptable in today’s society. As well as demos at their stores in Manchester, Birmingham and London, we are asking campaigners to contact the different departments and branches on each day during the week.

Remember it is illegal to farm animals for fur in the UK as it is considered too cruel, yet companies such as Selfridges are allowed to make profits from fur imported from countries where fur farming remains legal. Tell them this is unacceptable, and that until they stop selling fur, you will boycott their shops and you will encourage others to do the same.
