Fur sales at the Bay

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Yesterday one of our directors went to the Bay at the Richmond Centre Mall and saw that they were holding a fur sale. The Bay holds these fur sales at different Bay locations each weekend throughout the winter season.

Several weeks ago we disrupted one of theses sales at the Bay in downtown Vancouver. Security guards were incredibly aggressive and were seen pushing and shoving our activists, including one elderly lady.

The Bay had gone fur-free several years ago, but is now selling fur again.

Our director attempted to take a picture of the person running the fur sale as he refused to give her his card. When she tried, he grabbed her hand as if he wanted to break it. She then was able to speak to a store manager who made the fur sale guy give her his card and also gave her his own information.

Please contact the Bay and ask them to stop holding these fur sales and to go back to being a fur-free company. Tell them that you will not shop there until they remove all fur from their stores, including closing their “fur salon.”

There is no reason to wear fur in the twenty-first century. Animals are trapped and die slow and painful deaths or are raised on miserable fur farms and anally electrocuted or skinned alive. There are no laws that protect animals on fur farms.
