Fur Free Holiday: Dec. 22nd

[Guest guest]

Dear friends & fellow veggies,

 

The holiday season is intended to be a time of compassion and love, yet

many fail to extend their compassion to all sentient beings. So often,

animals' ability to feel and enjoy life is underestimated, and these

creatures suffer as a result. If the suffering in this world will ever

be lessened, humans must learn to appreciate all forms of life and

realize that exploiting them is not only unnecessary, but also

incredibly cruel. It is up to those of us who have already learned

this to educate those who don't yet know.

 

Fur is one of the most obvious forms of animal cruelty. While the

animal rights movement has already made the majority of people view it

as socially unacceptable, it is quickly coming back into " fashion " in

the form of trim. The fur industry has convinced many that it is an

environmentally sustainable " fabric, " and that animals on fur farms are

treated well - both claims are far from the truth.

 

What can you do to combat these lies and encourage people to shop with

compassion?

 

Join us in a peaceful demonstration in front of the notorious fur

retailer, Neiman " Carcass " on Sunday, Dec. 22nd from 2:00 - 4:00pm on

the corner of Stockton & Geary in SF. We will provide signs & leaflets

(feel free to bring your own as well).

 

If demonstrating isn't your style, please take a moment to call, write,

or email Neiman Marcus and let them know you oppose the sale of real

fur products.
