<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U><STRONG></STRONG></U></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U><STRONG>TERRIFIC NEWS</STRONG>:</U>
Montreal's Global Action Network (GAN) has been sucessful at persuading
ALL 200</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> Jacob stores across Canada
and 18 Bedo (mainly Quebec I believe) stores to </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>remove ALL</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> animal fur from
their clothing lines. This is a TREMENDOUS success after </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>also seeing Suzy Shier, Smart Set <U>and </U>Reitmans
also going fur-free this season!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>NATIONAL ANTI-FUR
DAY</STRONG> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The co-ordinator of GAN in Montreal
has</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> asked us to join them in support
of a new </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>campaign against <STRONG>TRISTAN
& INUIT</STRONG> which still carries alot of
rabbit(dog/cat?) fur and I am </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>currently trying to see if we can </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>use Tristan as our focal point for National Anti-fur Day. The
event will place:</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><U><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS">This coming SATURDAY</FONT> February
11th,</U></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><U>12noon,
</U></STRONG></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT
face=Arial><STRONG><U>Lower Rideau Street entrance to the Rideau
Centre</U></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U><STRONG>by Shopper's Drug
Mart</STRONG></U> (same place as the last demo in
December)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really apologize for the short notice but
due to illness I was unable to commit for this action and the
replacement co-ordinator has </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>bailed out
(for lack of a better word!) on the National co-ordinator at the
last minute. Luckily I have found another experienced co-ordinator for
the event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Hopefully we can incorporate the TRISTAN campaign into the
DEMO or better yet make it the main focus. Apart from protesting this
particular store, we would </DIV>
<DIV></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>also of course be
protesting</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> the cruelty and/or
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>deception of North American </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>and International fur 'manufacturing' and on the
possibility that fur from animals other than rabbits eg. cats and
dogs, may be unsuspectingly entering Canada from foreign
markets and falsely labelled as it is difficult without DNA
testing the ascertain the type of animals used for the fur. We are
certain of course that there is a thriving Asian market for cat and dog
fur as relevealed by PETA, the HSUS and other sources as cat/dog fur has
officially been found in European markets.</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>If you're not working I hope you
can spare the hour for the animals and come out.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U>If you can come could you PLEASE let me
know in advance</U> <U>though?</U> Although I am not co-ordinating I
have agreed to help LUG signs from my car to the Rideau Centre (even
though I am not well) and I don't want to bring 15 signs if only a few
people come out (which I hope is not the case) so it would be REALLY
HELPFUL for me to let me know if you can come out for the animals
(rabbits, cats and dogs...) being cruelly raised and slaughtered for
their fur.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have attached some photos (hope they
don't come through super huge) of the last fur protest (sorry for
not posting earlier). We won't have any elaborate props this time as
there is little time or money for them but TRISTAN and the other issues
should speak for themselves. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>We will have
the OAA leaflets aswell as GAN leaflets, bunny ears to
wear, and signs on hand. As always we hope the media will both show
up AND run or print something about the event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>you
can make it out. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actions speak louder than
words!</FONT></DIV>
