CAFT is campaigning to persuade the world famous department store Harrods to cut its ties with the fur trade. Harrods store in Knightsbridge is the largest department store in Europe, and is now the only major department store in the UK which sells fur, following decisions by rivals Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Liberty to stop selling fur and adopt a fur-free policy.
Meanwhile please take action. Politely email, phone, fax, write to Harrods to request that it takes the compassionate decision to once again stop the sale of all real animal fur and adopt a fur-free policy. Remember to point out that fur farming is illegal in the UK, so they should come into line with the wishes of the British public and the democratic will of Parliament.
London based Joseph Ltd is a chain of fashion shops, with 60 outlets in 5 countries. Joseph shops sell coats and other products made from real animal fur, despite the fact that fur farming has been made illegal in the UK where the company is based.
With so many shops in different countries Joseph is a major contributor to the brutal international fur trade, making blood money profits literally from the backs of tortured and murdered animals.
UK activists have been campaigning for several years to persuade the company about the horrors of the fur trade, in recent months activists from the USA, France, Ireland and Japan have also held protests against Joseph outlets there.
