to complain formally at<BR>www.shoppersdrugmart.ca.

However, today I was stunned to see scarves made out<BR>of strings of rabbit fur being sold at my local Shopper's drug store (corner<BR>Walkley and Bank in Ottawa). The scarf's brand name is Stephanie, and the<BR>distributor is C.S. Distribution.<BR><BR>The fur trade is horrible. According to PETA, fur farmers use slaughter<BR>methods that keep the pelts intact but which can result in extreme suffering<BR>for the animals. Small animals may be crammed into boxes and poisoned with<BR>hot, unfiltered engine exhaust from a truck. Engine exhaust is not always<BR>lethal, and some animals wake up while being skinned. Fur farming in China<BR>is especially cruel as animals are skinned
alive<BR>(http://www.furisdead.com/feat/ChineseFurFarms/).<BR><BR>I notice that some of the models in you online ads are wearing fur, too.<BR>Please refuse to sell fur and don't have models wear fur. If you continue to<BR>sell and advertise fur, I will be forced to stop shopping at Shopper's, and<BR>I will suggest to my animal-loving friends that they do the same.<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>4animals mailing list<BR>4animals@ottawaveg.com<BR>http://lists.ottawaveg.com/mailman/listinfo/4animals<BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV><BR></DIV><p>
