*NOW WITHDRAWN* Real Fur Stall at Dulwich College Xmas Fair - Boycott

[bcam]

Please tell Dulwich College that their decision to allow a real fur trader to appear again in the Dulwich College Xmas Fair is horrific and supports a barbaric industry.

Phillipa London sell horrific fur coats, gillets, hats which they greenwash as coming from "natural beginings" - which in reality means a hopeless life is squalid cramped cages and death by anal electrocution, drowning or gassing. They are stall GH10 in the Great Hall. Please beware if taking children past this stand.

The fur industry is universally condemed, but support from Dulwich College allows these heartless profit hungry traders to keep fur farms in business.

Please boycott the fair until they agree to go FUR FREE.

Email the Master Dr Spence to let him know that the use of real fur in 2022 is barbaric, outdated and doesn't align with the ethical values of Dulwich College

Thanks for highlighting this.

I am amazed anyone wants to buy real fur nowadays, had a quick look at their website it all looks so dated!

[Sue]

That's absolutely horrific. What is the college thinking?

But also, who is still buying these things?

Presumably the stallholder is expecting to sell them to people going to the fair?

[Spartacus]

Out of curiosity, had anyone established if they are actually selling their fur range at the Christmas fair or selling only their other products?

Hopefully the college has restricted them to non fur items.

Disgusting!

I emailed the Headmaster this morning and have just received the following response:

"Thank you for writing. I respect your opinion on the fur trade generally and your concerns about the presence of a stall selling fur products at the upcoming Christmas Fair. Phillipa London has offered to withdraw from the Christmas Fair and we have accepted this."

Thank you BCAM for bringing to our attention!

[Mystic Mog]

Well done for exposing these vile people!

[Castleton]

Well done for exposing! She has withdrawn from the sale, maybe change your

heading ?

[swadeshp]

Well done for raising this issue and having the fur stall removed.

[d walker]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, unbelievable, whatever was Dulwich College thinking!?

So pleased this stall has withdrawn, it was not appropriate and not fair on the other traders at the event.

[Sue]

Well done, but it really shouldn't have needed doing, should it?

Who accepted this stall as part of the fair in the first place? I'm guessing not the headmaster.
