Boycott Beechmount Garden Centre in Navan for using baby reindeer
Sign Now
Beechmount Garden Centre in Navan, Co Meath, Ireland have been using baby reindeer as part of their Christmas display. By displaying them in store, the baby reindeer are subjected to stress, humiliation and utterly unneccessary suffering in the name of "the Christmas experience". In addition, the baby reindeer are being fed sweets and junk food by children through the bars of the encloser, and are crying in distress.
Baby reindeer are not meant to be in an Irish garden store, for the amusement of people, or to give the store a "Christmas" feel. We are not living in Victorian times, and the use of live animals, especially baby reindeer, is completely ridiculous in this day and age.
Please write to Beechmount Garden Centre and let them know you will be boycotting their store until they stop the use of baby reindeer or any other live animals for their Christmas marketing and shopping experience. Stores do listen to their customers, and as we're in the middle of a recession, your complaints, opinions and feedback WILL matter. Hamleys Store in London had to do a u-turn on displaying live baby reindeer and penguins in their store after a social media backlash and complaints from thousands of consumers and customers were received by the store.
Let us show Beechmount Garden Centre that baby reindeer are not for show, they deserve more than to be part of a store display.

Why would an animal lover buy at a store whicht puts wildlife in distress just to entertain people? Right, they won't shop there at all.

Baby Reindeer should not be used for the amusement of your customers. I know that times are difficult for everyone this year but this is a total disgrace and ye should be ashamed of yourselves.

Displaying wild baby animals for Christmas is not a normal, intelligent or remotely acceptable thing to do.

As a Navan resident, I can say I'm horrified and disgusted. The things people will do for a cheap buck is beyond me. Boycotting Beechmount.
