Stop Harrods selling Fur

Harrods calls itself the "world's most famous department store" and its store in Knightsbridge is Europe's largest department store. The last survey at Harrods revealed a wide range of real fur garments on sale on display throughout the store, and included items made from beaver, chinchilla, red fox, arctic fox, mink, musquash, rabbit, wolf, coyote and squirrel.
* Harrods is the only UK department store to sell fur, every one of the hundreds of other department stores in the UK has a fur free policy, including all of Harrods' rivals such as Harvey Nichols and Selfridges.
* The production of fur is illegal in the UK on ethical grounds. The farming of animals for fur was outlawed in 2001, and the leghold trap has been illegal for over 50 years.
* Over 80% of the UK population is opposed to the fur trade, and a ban on the sale of fur in Harrods would be very popular.
We, the undersigned, would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. We are not crazy tree-hugging petitioners, we would just like to make you aware of the damage you are causing by selling items of real fur in your department store. We understand many major companies are not aware of the torturous conditions the animals are subjected to for their fur, I certaintly wasn't until I looked it up. I can assure you that once you are aware of what is actually going on in this trade you would be ashamed to support it. I can't imagine how anyone could think that wearing the fur of beautiful animals trapped for days in a leg trap, in so much pain and distress that some resort to biting off their own limbs, is something that is morally ok to do. This petition is just to show you that there are a lot of people that have boycotted your store due to your fur items, and that you would have a lot more profit in the long run if you resorted to not selling items of real fur. I know that Harrods would be much better thought of and respected if this was even to be considered. Thanks again for taking the time to read this, no insult or offence is intended, just a plea for you to recognise the torture
