You went from Stodgy & Stale, to Cruel & Fail.

You can't be cool, hip, or fashionable if you're still trying to sell fur.

Use faux fur like all the classy style houses.

i cannot understand how anybody can think wearing dead animals is 'fashionable'. I have no doubt in my mind that Burberry are aware of the pain inflicted on and torture suffered by the animals on fur farms. This is the epitome of vanity and they are supporting mindless cruelty on innocent creatures. How anyone can wear the skin of something that is not theirs is beyond me.

I'm pleased as to the level of dedication and commitment of these protesters. However from a e-mail I recently received from Harrod's I believe shops will continue to sell fur for two main reasons

1)Use of fur is down to individual choice. Outlets don't agree with forcing moral beliefs on another.

2)Most Stores that use fur are under the impression that their fur comes from well-managed international sources,in keeping with laws and standards. Problem is only 50% of fur comes China, and that gets divided between Europe and U.S and since there is no way to track fur once it leaves Middle-east or Far-East, there is no proof to say that certain stores like Burberry are supporting fur-farms in China.

I would like to see inside these well-managed international sources.

In response to SB...

I agree... I think all outlets that say this sort of thing, is Sh*t. But as I say I wrote to HARROD'S just before their Autumn sale last year about their fur-trimmed clothing for a new fashion line.I also told them that's it's very hypocritical to close down a fur salon in the early 90's yet still continue to use fur on their fashion range. All they just said:-(not quoting however).

They believe a individual shouldn't be pressured/dictated by telling a person what to wear or not wear. They also believe a individual should have a choice as consumer on what to purchase.

What upsets me the most is that upto 30 million animals on fur-farms and ranches are innocently killed every year for the fur-trade, and yet the practices the use haven't been stopped or they haven't even considered using more effective,western methods.

Also whether this is much interest:-there is a petition on the net (I think it's called the petitionsite.com or type Ban Fur farms in China to run a search) to tell Du Qinglin (Minister of Agriculture in People's Republic of China) to stop the sadsitic abuse on animals and to ban fur farms in China. (They need a 1,000,000-only have 325 so far)

thats a very "interesting" remark about the "individual choice"about wearing fur. clearly "fur" is not at all an individual choiche since the poor abused animals dont have a choiche at all.
"forcing moral beliefs" is not quiet the issue. it is merely stopping animal cruelty.
the problem is ALL FUR, not only from fur farms in china, is cruel, and something that should be in the past,just like rascism and other ugly things, for a better and more human world.

Great demo's!!!!!!!!;-)
