Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 The day after Thanksgiving is an annual national day of action to speak out against the cruel fur industry. Please stop by this event in Union Square if you can, in between East Bay Animal Advocates’ Safeway Foster Farms leafletings! http://www.eastbayanimaladvocates.org/wst_page5.html Nora In Defense of Animals [alerts] Wednesday, November 23, 2005 9:06 AM Nora Kramer Reminder: Fur Free Friday This Week Join IDA for Fur Free Friday in San Franicsco This Week Fur Free Friday is almost here, so please join IDA activists on the day after Thanksgiving to educate people about the cruelty of fur production. This year, we will have a table in San Francisco's Union Square consisting of an educational display with donated fur coats and steel-jawed traps accompanied by information labels, an informative captioned photo board and a large anti-fur banner. We will also hand out brochures and no-fur badges and show graphic video footage from fur mills on a portable television. Our demonstration will start with a march around the stores that frame Union Square, stopping at those that sell fur to leaflet and engage shoppers. We also plan to circle the outside perimeter of Union Square carrying large anti-fur banners to reach shoppers and traffic moving around the square. After the march, activists will hold signs and leaflet around Union Square while people take turns wearing a body TV showing footage from inside fur mills. IDA would like activists to wear red to our Fur Free Friday demonstration this year to represent the blood of the fur industry's innocent animal victims and to help our group stand out from the large crowd of shoppers in Union Square. Over 40 million victims of the fur trade raised in cages or trapped in the wild every year are counting on your help. Each individual person who raises their voice in the animals' defense influences others and makes a better future possible, so please take action this Fur Free Friday. Please take part in this important annual day of action aimed at putting the brutal fur trade out of business.
