Sarah over in peta2 UK has a guest blog for you since she just did a demonstration outside of Burberry

Burberry may be best known for its chavy check design, but for you and me they're best known for their continued use of fur in their designs.
Despite being shown shocking video footage of animals on fur farms who are beaten, drowned and killed by anal electrocution, Burberry continues to sell fur.
This week Burberry announced 540 job cuts—290 of those in the UK and the other 250 in Spain. So that's where PETA Europe decided to get Burberry's attention with a "Lay off the animals, not the workers!" protest!
I got to hand out a ton of leaflets to passers-by, and even people in fur trim took one! I'm sure they'll think twice before putting that coat on again.
Pledge to be fur-free!

I would love to go to Europe and protest against Burberry.
FUR=TORTURE!

I'm not sticking up for them, I hate them sooo much, almost as much as KFC, but they might pick you up on that and make you look stupid
Only Chavs would be stupid enough to wear fur anyway :)
