There will be a National Anti-Fur March and Rally in London, on Saturday 1st December.
National Anti-Fur March & Rally
Saturday 1st December
Meet 12 noon, Belgrave Square, London SW1 (nearest Tubes Victoria, Hyde Park Corner or Knightsbridge)
After a rally in Cavendish Square, we will be marching around the Knightsbridge area of London, which is home to some of most notorious designers of fur, including Gucci, Versace, Fendi, Armani, Dolce and Gabanna, as well as campaign targets such as Escada, Joseph, Burberry, and of course we will be marching past Harrods, Europe's largest store, and the only department store in the UK still selling fur.
Unlike the rest of the UK where the fur trade has largely been stopped, London, and in particular the area around where the march will take place, is still a major centre of the fur trade. Fur of all kinds is a common sight in the area both in the shop windows, and draped on pedestrians, tourists for the most part, but quite a few residents as well.
London activists are fighting an uphill battle to finish the fur trade in the capital, this is a chance for the rest of us to show our solidarity. More details to come, but please keep the date free, and start planning transport.
