Action Alert: Contact Beyond Retro Fur Peddlers

London Animal Rights | 18.10.2010 19:39 | Animal Liberation | South Coast

The coming year is an extremely important one for the fur industry, with
real fur being pushed back onto the high street using the vintage
fashion craze. However, some top furriers have admitted that this is all
a part of the plan to revitalise the fur trade and make their image
appear acceptable.

Beyond Retro own six stores, all of which sell vintage fur. They are
currently the focus of an intense campaign in the UK, seeking a fur-free
policy. Please contact them in disgust at their support for animal
abuse: For more about Beyond Retro.

SAMPLE LETTER:

To Whom It May Concern.
I recently heard that your company, Beyond Retro, are currently selling
items made of real fur. The fur trade is both cruel and unnecessary,
with millions of animals killed annualy purely for their pelts.

Animals are imprisoned in wire mesh cages little bigger than themselves,
often in solitary confinement. Stress, boredom and stereotypic behaviour
is exhibited with these creatures literally going insane - gnawing at
cages, pacing and even turning to cannibalisation. A recent expose of
fur farms revealed dead and dying animals left in the cages alongside
those living. When killed, animals are gassed, electrocuted, have their
throats slit, are bludgeoned or skinned alive.

Please end your sale of real fur and stop supporting this cruelty,
Yours Sincerely,
[Name]
