Madam, - Well done to Brown Thomas for its recent decision to stop selling fur. What a nice present for our furry friends this Christmas. I hope other shops will follow their good example.
Unfortunately, fur farming is still legal in Ireland, unlike in most EU countries where it has been banned. There are several fur farms in Ireland, farming mink, fox, rabbits and squirrels. I call on the Government to please outlaw this barbaric trade which inflicts such suffering on innocent animals. - Yours, etc,
