Welcome to Maxfield… and their 2012 collection
At the beginning of a campaign by Fur Free West Hollywood, celebrity-driven Maxfield agreed to remove and end the sale of all fur – like baby blankets and motor cycle helmets – from their West Hollywood store. They removed the fur, but then restocked it and actively oppose to a planned fur ban in West Hollywood by writing letters to the Mayor and other people of importance.
This Saturday (11th of February from 12 pm – 2 pm) Fur Free West Hollywood organizes an anti-fur protest outside Maxfield.
Important! Leading up to the protest we ask you to let Maxfield know what happens when they break their promise to the animals: send them as many protest mails as possible for the next 3 days and tell your friends to do the same!

Sample Maxfield Letter
Dear Representative of Maxfield,
West Hollywood has been a leader in passing groundbreaking legislation in the area of animal welfare. In 1989, West Hollywood passed Resolution Number 558 proclaiming West Hollywood a “Cruelty Free Zone for Animals.” It is time to further the effort to make good on that promise. West Hollywood has the opportunity to once again be a leader for animal welfare by becoming the first Fur Free City in the Nation, to be a place that is free of cruelty to animals and to be a place that no longer supports the barbaric fur trade by selling products made of fur.
Please watch the following account of the fur trade:
I call on you to hold true to your agreement with Fur Free West Hollywood to remove and end the sale of all fur.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]

Fur belongs on whom it was born
Not by the vain and frivolous,
Worn
If spacemen decided that
Humans were a coat
The humans would
Cry out in horror
And that not all

So treat all beings
As you wish to be treated
Or you are no more
