Burberry: Unaware or Willfully Blind?

September 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment


News & Opinion

In a statement to Vogue denying that it buys rabbit fur from the factory farms exposed in a new undercover video, fashion giant Burberry says it “will not use fur if there is concern that its production has involved the unacceptable treatment of animals.” Intense confinement and anal electrocution are standard practices in the fur industry. Is either “acceptable” to Burberry?

To make matters worse, Burberry’s use of the phrase “all natural” in defending its use of fur, but “natural” fur is exactly what we are trying to eliminate! Did Burberry think the word “natural” would appease its critics who are advocating for fake fur?

Burberry executives and other fashion houses that use fur are either unaware of the atrocities or are turning a blind eye for the sake of profits. It’s no wonder activists have to jump onto the runway during fashion shows to get their attention.

    I will no longer purchase anything made by Burberry Totally no need to use fur for anything. There is no such thing as organic or natural fur. An animal must be killed to obtain their fur. I do not support this and will encourage everyone I know to do the same

    Wearing fur is for ignorant Neanderthals. How can humans raise these animals just to tourture them and cut their flesh off their bodies. THEIR BODIES! Who gave them the right to do this.

  5. Manreet Sandhu says:

    Burberry please think about poor animals..they go through so much pain and suffering..please stop using fur in your products

  6. How can u condone animals being hanged, boiled in hot water and skinned alive, just to fleece your pockets!! Have you seen the terror in their eyes and heard their screams of agony????? HAVE YOU???? You are all a disgrace, putting money before animals’ pain!!!! We will petition for people to boycott your stores, until you review your policies on this subject. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

    with all the wonderful fake fur out there, why do we need real fur?

  8. Jeff says:

    I think by now everyone on the planet knows that in order to get fur you have to harm an animal. I don’t believe for one second that Burberry was unaware of that. It’s all about profit, and I’ll wait to see if Burberry really caves under the pressure.
