CAFT's Christmas anti-fur week at Harrods
12 Dec '06
2 min read
CAFT is stepping up the campaign to persuade Europe's largest department store to stop selling fur, with a week of action and protests every day in the week leading up to Christmas, a vital time of year when the store makes a large proportion of its annual profits. Whether or not you can make the protests, please politely email, phone, fax, write to Harrods during anti-fur week, see below for details.
Harrods is the last remaining department store in the whole country to continue selling fur. Harrods has over a million square feet of floor space, and has large amounts of real fur throughout the store, made from a wide variety of animals including fox, beaver, mink, chinchilla, wolf, coyote, rabbit and squirrel.
In recent years, CAFT has successfully campaigned to persuade the few remaining department stores in the UK selling fur, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and then Liberty, to adopt fur free policies.
That left Harrods as the only department store selling fur. In October last year we launched the Harrods campaign, and within two months, Harrods went to the High Court to obtain an injunction against CAFT and three named individuals, applying to have the protests moved away from the store.
However we vigorously defended the case, and following several setbacks for Harrods in the legal action, Harrods sacked their lawyer, the infamous Lawson Cruttenden, and appointed a new legal team.
