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.

Shame on you HARRODs! Have you looked into the eyes of a still alive LIVE-skinned animal? I have and for each fur coat you sell, you leave a skinned animal still blinking for ten minutes, before it dies! You are WICKED, COLD and GREEDY GHOULS who needs to be taught a lesson! Millions of animal lovers worldwide demand that you stop selling these items from HELL (HARRODS!!!)

We WILL boycott you NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES! You are a bunch of GREEDY GHOALS FROM HELL!

I can't believe these sorts of horrid things are still happening in the 'civilised' world. I can't imagine why anyone would want to wrap themselves in the skin of something else. It's almost like something out of the Silence of the Lambs movie if you ask me!

I would NEVER shop somewhere that condones something like this.

What is the point of wearing a poor innocent animals fur. They need it more then a human does. You will burn in hell for doing these things.

I wouldnt shop at Harrods if you paid me too. Faux fur is so much nicer then the real thing anyway!

such an obvious act of evil. would you wear/sell human skin? (unless, apparantly,nazis in world war11) my guess is no...so, what is the reason? there is absolutley no reason now for animals to be killed for clothing just to make money...be creative and think of something else that involves NO animal cruelty.I actually dont know how anyone with any compassion could just turn a blind-eye too the disturbing and upsetting truth behind how this clothing is made. it is discusting that some of society will choose so-called 'luxury' over LIFE! Just think about the pain and suffering these animals go through and even though it may make you feel superior to hang an animal skin in your store, to sell for LOTS of money, I believe it to be the most cowardice of ways to make money and it should stop. like I said be ceative and put a bigger price tag on something that doesnt involve slaughtering defencless animals.
