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 selling fur. No longer is it necessary to wear fur to keep warm. I'm happy to wear faux fur but never the real thing. I'm just one of millions. Please move with the times, fur is passe.

I will boycott Harrods and any store that sells fur.

I boycott anything made in China. I boycott Canadian seafood and now I will gladly boycott Harrods on my trips. I will forward this and tell all my friends. This must stop. We cannot support any country, company or anyone who promotes sick, sadistic and barbaric practices. I cannot believe they are selling fur items!

I will email everyone on my list and ask them to email to all the people on thier list and on and on. We must get any demand for fur stopped. That is the only thing that will shut these torture chambers down. What a sick world we live in!

Please stop this horrific act - absolutely disgusting and SO VERY UNNECESSARY!!! These are creatures who feel pain, suffer, and deserve every right as humans do. We SHARE this planet with them. We do NOT OWN THEM and do not have the right to be so vile and cruel in the name of fashion.

Mr Al-Fayed, I am sickened, outraged and dismayed about the fact that your Harrods store continues to sell fur products, despite your pledge 15 years ago to discontinue doing so. I challenge you to watch the PETA video as to what goes on in these fur farms. If you can watch the whole thing and not feel disgusted and distraught for these sentient creature's suffering, you do not have a heart. PLEASE, STOP SELLING PRODUCTS THAT USE FUR NOW!!

There is no need for anyone to wear or sell animal fur in the UK.

I will make sure all of my friends and family are aware of Harrods policy of selling fur, they will never shop there again and nether will I.

I am UK citizen currently living in Australia; I will NEVER purchase anything from Harrods because I am completely appauled that this store sells fur products, despite making a promise to boycott fur. This is an example of how heartless big business can be, and that the lives of innocent animals means nothing as long as Mohamed makes a profit. I am sickened.
