The Rakes must have spent all of 2 seconds to decide to turn down an offer to appear in Burberry advertising campaign. Front man Alan Donohue snubbed offer personally with a a letter to the Burberry CEO:
"The Rakes will not shop at Burberry or participate in Burberry’s ad campaigns until it pledges to stop supporting cruelty to animals and adopts a permanent fur-free policy.
By designing in fur, Burberry is supporting one of the most violent industries on the planet, and the Rakes won’t be associated with that.
Burberry has always touted itself as a fashion leader, but there’s nothing ‘fashionable’ about drowning animals to death or electrocuting or strangling them on fur farms for their coats."
"Take your Deal and shove it up Mike Skinners arse. Do I look like a chavvy c*nt ? Do I. DO I? You, me, your boys against my boys. Stonebridge Estate 6pm"*
*Ok, he made not have said that last bit.
