****Cross Post Freely****WHY ARE WE PROTESTING FUR IN 85 degree TEMPERATURES?BECAUSE OF HER.....BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHERS LIKE HER.....BECAUSE WE MUST STOP THE KILLING!

For the animals imprisoned on fur farms, quietly going insane in their cages as they wait for the executioners gloved hand on their necks, it doesn't matter what season it is. They wait in despair. They have no hope. Their deaths by gassing, neck breaking or anal electrocution are inevitable. That is why we must never let up the pressure on the fur industry.Consequently, activists will be on the streets of mid-town Manhattan again this spring and summer. They will put up with the snarky remarks of those that don't understand that although the display windows are not emblazoned with the skins of dead animal corpses......they will be very soon. TOO SOON. Take action before it turns cold and the fashionistas start trotting out their ghoulish wardbrobe.This weekend

marks another global weekend of action against Escada. Please join us at:

Date/Time: Saturday, April 25, 2009 at 3:00 PM

Place: 715 Fifth Ave. (between 55th & 56th Streets)

Protests will be peaceful and legal and we will be in total compliance with all local ordinances.
