Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Passed on by Lesley Hi People I thought I would mail you all and tell you about something disgusting I saw yesterday. I was at a trade fair in Birmingham and this company were selling something called ships cats. They look like dead cats which have been stuffed (but they're not) and guess what they are made out of real fur. They are imported from China and the company told me that it was okay because they are made from rabbit (a bi-product of the meat industry). I told them about the cruelty in China and how animals are killed for meat whether they are rabbits, cats, dogs etc. I told them it was incredibly cruel and the fur was likely to be real cat. A lot of fur coming out of china is marked up as rabbit when it is in fact cat. I told them it was cruel and barbaric and was told " Thats your opinion " before the guy turned his back on me and walked away. I told them that it wasn't an opinion but fact. If you would like to complain about these disgusing ornaments (which come complete with accessories) the person to write to is Mr Lynn Lewis, Nauticalia, The Ferry Point, Shepperton-on-Thames, Middlesex, TW17 9LQ. He is the managing director. Their leaflet makes no mention of the fact that they are real fur and a lot of people looking at them yesterday thought they were fake fur because they couldn't believe people would be sick enough to use real fur. I also strongly believe that the fur was real cat because you could not dye rabbit fur to that level of detail of look like tabby and ginger cats etc. Please write because the power of the pen is mighty. I have complained about things before and they have been withdrawn. Lisa http://www.caft.org.uk/general/action.htm www.nauticalia.com mailorder@n...
