Nutcracker Christmas shop is Selling Fur/ Email Action (Sample)
1 month ago
| Actions

The Nutcracker Christmas shop is selling stuffed toys - polar bears - made out of fur (which they claim to be goat's hide but most probably rabbit fur). Please email nutcracker and ask them to take these off their shelves!

Email address and a sample letter below!

Email:info@nutcrackerchristmasshop.co.uk

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was appalled to learn that you stock real-fur items (ref: polar bear stuffed animal).

Opinion polls conducted over the last 10 years have consistently shown that more than 70% of people in the UK reject fur and only 4% own anything made from fur.

Killing for fur often employs brutal methods - gassing, neck-breaking, anal and genital electrocution are commonly employed methods for killing – not because these are the most humane but because they preserve the pelt – the most profitable part of the animal.

I am asking you to take the real-fur items off - and be listed as a compassionate and ethical retailer, so I and other shoppers can shop at your store with confidence.
 
I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully,

[Name]
[Address]

it is disgusting that any human would buy fur. anyone who would do such a thing is simply uncaring and contributing to the cruel barbaric practice of the fur trade.
