There has been widespread condemnation this week, following revelations that unscrupulous employers have been putting hard-working models out of work by replacing them with mannequins.
But who has taken the place of the mannequins? This blog has uncovered disturbing evidence that innocent woodland creatures are being forced to work long hours – sometimes as much as 24 hours a day – modelling clothes in shop windows.
This fox was sighted in a branch of Jigsaw opposite St-Martin-in-the-Fields in London
and this reindeer in the Fred Perry shop in Nottingham –
A spokesperson for PETA commented – “No animal in the wild would wear clothes or sit still for hours on end and forcing them to do can only be a source of enormous stress. We urge our members to boycott any shops using animals as models and lobby their MPs to end this cruel practice.”
I think it’s discriminating against rabbits and weasels. I’d buy anything that was modelled by weasels.
A weaselonable point of view, WH – Boom Boom! (Oh I do miss Basil Brush ..)
Ha Ha! Basil Brush is still on you know, but I don’t expect you watch much CBBC these days – probably at work or something….
Glad to hear it – I thought he’d been banned for being a Hate Criminal. I also see that he’s appearing in panto with Bobby Davro at the Derngate Theatre in Northampton, so his career is obviously in rude health.
