Here’s a report from Rob, our Burberry campaigner who is working hard to rid the chavy company of fur.
“There were two protests in Paris on Saturday 15th March. First one was at the Burberry store in Boulevard Malesherbes, which is also the Burberry France HQ. Two grim reapers and a dozen people took part, then a second demo took place at Rue de Rennes later on in the day.
On the same day in Berlin, the group “Berlin-Vegan“ and PETA Germany held a two-hour demonstration in front of the Burberry shop at Kurfürstendamm. An activist was dressed as the Grim Reaper and a bloody fur coat was also displayed to represent the animals that are brutalised on fur farms.
In Manchester on Sunday 16 March, 13 people turn out for a demo which was a great success. Also in the UK that day, London saw 19 people brave the wind and the rain to hold two demos outside Burberry stores at the same time, one in Regent Street and the other in New Bond Street. The driving rain and the wind failed to dampen people’s spirits and the London streets were filled with chants demanding that Burberry make the ethical decision and go fur free.
I’m busy planning more Burberry store demos and these demos will begin to spread across Europe. Burberry can rest assured that there isn’t a single country where they can hide, and no matter where they have retail outlets, PETA and its supporters will be there to hold them to account.”
Well, there you go. Best you listened up eh, Burberry?
Well done guys!
I could’t do last Sunday, hope to join next demo soon.
