London Fur Day Of Action

Nearly 100 activists gathered on March 3rd for the London Fur Day of Action, with about the same number of police looking on. An excellent, if somewhat long and tiring, series of actions against the fur trade took place. There were lively and noisy demos at 3 specialist fur shops, 8 fashion shops selling fur and at the homes of 2 fur shop owners, including Hockley director Frank Zilberkweit, despite an injunction.

Many 1000s of leaflets were distributed and as the large crowd marched along, fur coat wearers were left in no doubt they weren’t welcome on the streets of London, or anywhere else! Other targets of the day included Noble Furs, Versace and Jacob.

Regular demos at Philip Hockley Fur Shop, 20 Conduit St, London W1, every Wednesday 1-5pm and Saturday 1-4pm.
