Burberry treads on a Rake

We're sure Burberry will be crying their eyes out at the news that The Rakes are boycotting them over their use of fur. Alan Donohoe has written to the CEO of the beige-check company:

"Every year, millions of animals are trapped, drowned and beaten to death in the wild and strangled, electrocuted and skinned alive on fur farms. The fur trade is a violent, bloody industry, and the cold-hearted killing of animals for 'fashion' is indefensible.

"The Rakes will not shop at Burberry or participate in Burberry's ad campaigns until it pledges to stop supporting cruelty to animals and adopts a permanent fur-free policy."


Burberry haven't, noticeably, cancelled any marketing campaigns as a result. A spokesperson for the company giggled "oh no, whatever will we do if The Paddingtons and Selfish Cunt join the boycott?"
