[4animals] Fur Protest

[ottawa animal advocates]

ATTENTION: fellow animal lovers and activists>>>

Please note that there will be Peaceful Demonstration commending the stores of the Rideau Centre that are carrying only faux-fur or who have actually dropped real fur just this year! eg.SUZY SHIER and apparently Smart Set (to be officially confirmed.)

Of course we'll still be letting people know the of the various stores that ARE still supporting the atrocities of the fur industry
and trying to educate them as to how the majority of the fur found in mainstream retail clothing stores originates from rabbits raised and killed in horrific conditions in Asian countries, mainly China, where are essentially O standards of animal welfare. The fur industry appears to be trying hard to dye this fur to actually make it appear 'faux' and to use it as trim on accessories from boots to gloves which often results in consumers not being aware that they are actually buying the products of immense suffering.

We will have 2 stylish (fully clothed!) 'Bunny Girls" on hand hopefully with a male escort in a Santa hat (so far I'm still looking for "cute guy" volunteer though so if you know of any, please e-mail me at ottawa.animal.advocates at rogers.com ) or for any other information...

The rally (the only official one scheduled for OAA for this fall/winter season) will be held>

MONDAY DECEMBER 5TH @ 12 NOON
***Please note that time was chosen because it is the only time we really have a chance to get media out- in time for 
6 o'clock news etc.
LOCATION>
Lower Rideau Street entrance to the Rideau Centre 
(In between Shoppers Drug Mart and the Elephant Castle).
PLEASE NOTE THAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE READY TO STAND BACK FROM THE SIDEWALK AND MALL ENTRANCE DOORS in order to avoid blocking pedestrians and shoppers as it is a VERY busy location!

The media time is set for 12:30pm so even if you can only make it out for the half hour it would really help the animals/cause! Please also note that all signs and leaflets designed especially for this protest will be provided. You need only bring yourself and any other caring people you know!!

Please think of the animals and I'll hope to see you there,
-V.S
