everyone's feedback on these or other animal rights related interests/ideas.

Shopper</FONT>"</STRONG> </FONT><FONT face=Arial>is needed to determine
which stores in the Rideau Centre are selling animal fur garments/accessories.
So far I have seen much less real fur in stores in the suburbs but I'm not
sure about downtown so it </FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>would
be very helpful if someone who lives closer to downtown, goes to school
downtown or who frequents the Rideau Centre, could give a head's up on which
stores have the fur. The volunteer would need to be thorough
in making sure that fur is real and whether any labels on fur
garments are labeled "Made in China". </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let
me know <U>asap</U> if you can be the mystery shopper. We would need to know
which stores are selling real animal fur before the meeting on October
5th.</FONT></DIV>
