NORWAY, HOW CAN YOU?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A CIVILIZED NATION IS COMPASSIONATE TO ITS DEFENSELESS MEMBERS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONSTANT PAIN & STRESS

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the second year, the Norwegian animal organization Nettverk for Dyrs Frihet (Network for Animal Freedom) has been running independent inspections in Norwegian fur farms and have discovered shocking conditions in which animals live. The extensive suffering they saw in nearly 50 fur farms is simply heartbreaking, and this just after the Norwegian minister of Agriculture said that fur animals were treated humanely in Norway.

 

Who would question "ethical" fur coats from Norway which is considered civilized? Norwegian animal caring people have a different story to tell, and since bad habits die hard, fur animal abusers are putting up a good fight against animal rights activists in Norway. Fearing the negative repercussion it will cause to their business, efforts are being made to discredit pro-animal groups who have dared to speak out against the atrocities. As we all know, it is now fashionable to portray animal people as "radicals

& terrorists," thus, our counterparts in Norway need all the support they can get at home and abroad. As usual, our mission is to offer support to anti-fur activists worldwide, and our Norwegian friends do need our support so they may be continue exposing the unimaginable cruelty of the bloody fur trade.

 

Please watch the video so you may have an idea of how much suffering Norwegian fur animals are enduring for vanity and greed of the multi-million dollar fur industry. Sadly, we have no other choice, dear animal friends, than to ask you to please help us speak out for fur bearing animals in Norway as well.

The above information is déjà vu. About 3 years ago, the British journalist, Jonathan Owens, visited a supposedly "top notch" fur farm in Norway, and wrote this article:

The demo at the above fur retailers'row are our usual protests against those who benefit from blood money. We look forward to seeing you at both events!

 

 

Last year's anti-fur march was part of more than 30 protests worldwide, a joint effort with the international anti-fur coalition. Here in DC, the local anti-fur coalition, consisting of 5 groups held hands and produced one of the best protests ever.

SKIN TRADE, THE MOVIE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FINALLY A VOICE FOR FUR BEARING ANIMALS!!!

 

 

 

 

From Shannon Keith, director & producer of SkinTrade the Movie

 

 

Dear friends of fur bearing animals,

 

I am so very excited to let you know that my new documentary on the fur trade will be complete and ready for purchase very soon!

 

 

This film was a long process that included going undercover, gathering footage, interviews, and exposing the lies perpetrated by the fur industry in order to salvage its bloody trade for profit.

 

 

I learned a great deal on my journey. I thought I knew it all, until I witnessed the things you will see...

 

Through great animation, music, celebrity interviews and undercover footage, this movie will be sure to get anyone to go anti-fur!

 

 

The most important thing is to get this film out there to the public! These beautiful animals need YOUR help!

 

 

Our expenses on this documentary were phenomenal and we must sell thousands of DVD's in order to continue our work. So please, get that wallet out to buy as many DVD's as you possibly can. Be sure to buy plenty to

give as Xmas presents as well! Please also consider donating to our work. Donations are tax-deductible through our non-profit, ARME http://www.arme.tv which is producing this film.

CATS EN ROUTE TO GUANGZHOU:

 

 

Dear friends of Chinese animals,

 

For the last few years, we have been helping Chinese animal caring people and each time we present a new group that so need help in order to survive and flourish in their areas.

 

 

 

Last time, we introduced "New Beautiful World" www.people4chineseanimals.org/Beautiful_New_World.html . This is a group of 10 caring people who could no longer live with the suffering of an overwhelming number of strays in their city. It's estimated that in Beijing alone there are over 500,000 stray pets. This group has, for the last five years, been responsible for spaying or neutering over 10,000 stray cats in Beijing. Like BNW, there are so many more groups being formed all over China, all struggling to help stray animals which so suffer being victims of abuse in the streets and ending up in the meat/fur market.

 

For those who don't know, there are two cities in China which are the starting points for the horrors that are perpetrated upon stray or stolen pets. The poor victims somehow make their way either to the cities of Nanking or Shanghai and then shipped to Guanghzou where the infamous live meat market resides. For days, animals travel in the worst possible conditions, packed in small cages and without food or water until they meet with the most brutal killings that goes beyond anyone's imagination
