              Boycott Harrods

Image from http://www.caft.org/


Harrods is a department store in London, England.

It continues to sell real animal fur products for fashion
despite the owner, Mohamed Al-Fayed pledging to make
the store fur-free fifteen years ago.



Harrods is the only department store in the country to
still feel the need to support the cruel and inhumane act
of skinning animals and selling the furs in its store for
high prices.

Furfurfur


It's time to take a stand- this unethical practice must be
stopped.



Tell Harrods and Mohamed Al-Fayed that selling animal
furs is immoral and wrong, and that it must be stopped.
Tell Harrods and Mohamed Al-Fayed that you will boycott
Harrods and instruct others to do the same until they
cease selling furs.


Thank you

We, the undersigned, are writing to express how angry and disappointed we are that you still feel the need to sell dead animal skins in your department store.

Selling fur is unethical, immoral and wrong. We refuse to shop at Harrods until this practice is stopped and will encourage others we know to do the same thing.

We also encourage that you do some research to see the short and painful lives the animals went through before they ended up hanging up in your store with a price label attached to them.

Harrods is supposed to be a reputable company, but we feel this can never be a company achievement when a company feels that it must deal in blood money, putting profit before life.

Harrods "works extensively to ensure that the fur is obtained from places producing fur in a humane way". When can fur ever be considered humane and/or ethical? Harrods "feels it should not dictate what customers should or shouldn't be allowed to purchase". Harrods does not have to dictate what customer can or cannot puchase, it is that we feel that a company, as well-known as Harrods should be setting an example and at the same time, become a better company by removing furs from its shelves. Not encouraging the mass-murder of countless defenceless creatures.

It is extremely disturbing that this completely violent and disgusting practice happens and that you profit from the demise of these animals. Lady Diana would never have wanted this to happen and it is a true shame that you are continuing to let her down in this way.

We could understand that Harrods feels the need to serve a "truly global clientele with diverse tastes". Harrods does this so that is able to maintain itself as a reputable store, but by selling these products in store it is supporting inhumane and unethical practices which are not needed in a modern society.

Why does Harrods not make its decision based on ITS own moral beliefs and code rather than sell these products to those few ignorant individuals who still feel the need to wear fur products? Harrods as a "reputable" company should be taking a stand for what is right in the world, not that which lines its pockets.

Fur is NEVER worth the price and we hope that you will see this is true.

Please stop the sale of fur at your store. Animals killed for their fur die the most terrible, painful deaths. Please listen to public opinion and do the decent thing.

Definately.

I have avoided Harrods since going in there as a child and seeing the animals for sale. I thought things had changed and went in there for the first time a few months ago and saw all the fur items for sale. I won't be stepping foot in there anytime soon. Harrods upset me as a child and are still upsetting me.

Shame on you for selling fur clothing. You may be rich and wealthy economically but will never find the inner peace for making the world a worse place. From the very bottom of my heart and soul, I wish ill for you.

Yes, I have boycotted Harrods products and tell everyone I know to never patronize anything remotely associated with them.

They did this in the cave man days because they did not have the brains to come up any other type of body covering. It's the 21st century now so why are you going backwards?
