Lush supports dirty fighters
Cosmetics firm Lush will pay for its politics by alienating thousands of customers with its decision to fund the Hunt Saboteurs Association (HSA) with proceeds from a fox bubble bar product.
The Hunt Saboteurs Association is an animal rights group which advocates direct action and illegal methods to disrupt hunting activities.
Countryside Alliance Head of Media, Tim Bonner said:
We are aware that Lush supports animal rights charities, and I am sure they are upset that the Hunting Act has failed. Whilst we support the view that everyone has their right to an opinion, there are groups who legally oppose hunting, and the HSA is not one of them.
This is also a very strange commercial decision. Hundreds of thousands of people have demonstrated their support for hunting and the rural way of life and many of them would previously have been Lush customers. On the other hand the number of people supporting an organisation like the HSA is tiny and, lets be honest, hunt sabs are not the biggest consumers of soap. It is entirely up to Lush who they want to support but they will pay for their politics by alienating thousands of reasonable customers.
