Peek&Cloppenburg: Stop the Fur Trade! Part 5
On the 14th February animal rights activists organised an
action of electronic civil disobedience against the fur
industry which animal welfarists and animal rights
activists from all over the world participated in.
The main targets were Peek&Cloppenburg (P&C) and their
logistic partner, Thiel Logistics&Services. As always, P&C
remained silent about the effects of the action, but the
reactions of other targets do give the impression that the
action was very effective. A spokeswoman for the German Fur
Institute, which was also on the list, admitted that their
work was seriously disrupted. P&C probably had a very
similar experience. And still they can't bring themselves
to pull out of the fur trade.

URGENT E-MAIL ACTION!
But the protests against fur selling chain stores keep on
going at an international level and P&C seem find
themselves more and more alone in their percistence in
selling fur products, even in the textiles branch. On 15th
March the Swedish chain store SOLO signed a guarantee that
they would no longer sell fur in the future. And in Finland
the chain, Prisma Hypermarket has also pulled out of the
trade in animal furs.
So, as we can see, campaigns against fur are highly
successful and also effective, when we look at the fur
industry internationally.
It is important to make it clear to the decision makers at
P&C that products which are produced through animal
suffering will not be accepted.
James Cloppenburg, in his roll as the highest company
director of P&C North, has absolute power to decide on the
sale of fur by his company and has conciously decided that
animals must die for fashion items in P&C.
But, besides his leading funktion at P&C, James Cloppenburg
is also on the board of directors of the Trade Association
BAG, president of the association in schleswig-Holstein and
representative of their working group for outer-garments.
Alongside P&C, companies such as C&A, KarstadtQuelle and
the Otto Catalogue are also members of the association and
have all left the fur trade over the past few years as a
result of pressure from anti-fur campaigns. So James
Cloppenburg already has several examples of what an animal
friendlier business policy can look like.
In spring, the time when young mink are born on the fur
farms, the decision makers at P&C can not be given a break
from protests. They are the ones who make profits at cost
to the animals. At expense to animals who are now being
born only to be killed after several months of
imprisonment. Mink and foxes who will never in their lives
feel grass under their feet ...
Therefore, write to the board of directors of the Trade
Association, so that pressure is put on him from others. As
long as P&C benefit from animal suffering, all those who
work with those responsible at P&C should be informed of
their irresponsible business policies.
Why not use the opportunity to send multiple mails and
attachments.

An anti-fur campaign against Peek&Cloppenburg has been
bitterly fought in Germany and Austria for about three
years now. P&C is one of the biggest German companies to
sell real fur and has up till now refused to distance from
it?s immoral business which costs animals their lives.
