Can you selling shoes, adorned with rabbit fur?
At the Salling Group, which is behind føtex and Bilka, the answer is no. Therefore detailgiganten decided to recall a small batch, which is sold in two supermarkets.
actually, the use of rabbit fur is fully legal, but it is contrary to the Salling Group own rules in this area.
– We have a clear policy, and we do not accept products that are made from or trimmed with real fur. The product is obviously not bought or ordered with real fur. It is ordered with the dress-tassel of the polyester from the supplier, so for this reason too, is the occurrence unacceptable. And therefore, we draw the shoes back, says Signe Jensen, product manager at shoes in the Salling Group.

According to the Salling Group is the dyreværnsforeningen Anima, which has made them aware of the problem.
– We are pleased that the Anima has noticed that the product did not live up to our standards and clear rules.
– We check continuously our products, but we will of course take the opportunity to review our produce and workflows as well as communication with suppliers, their production and labelling, so that we ensure that in the future, we only have textile products that comply with our rules, says Signe Jensen.
