Global Day of Action - Canadian Seal Fur - Saturday 3/15

[Guest guest]

****Cross Post Freely****March Madness Weekend #3 - New York CityINTERNATIONAL ANTI-FUR COALITIONDAY OF ACTION - CANADIAN SEAL FURSaturday, March 15, 2008In a few short weeks, off the eastern coast of Canada, the annual seal slaughter will turn the ice bright red with the blood of murdered innocents. Thousands of baby seals, some just weeks old, will be bludgeoned with hakapics (wooden clubs with sharp metal hooks at the tip) and some will be skinned alive, with their mothers close by, bellowing in fear, anger and frustration. In the past 3 years, Canadian killers have taken the lives of approximately 1,000,000 baby seals. Despite global public outcry the slaughter will continue this Spring. The Canadian government, despite global

outcry has issued death warrants for 270,000 seals.To learn more about the annual seal slaughter visit:http://war-online.org/Alert_Seals08.htmhttp://harpseals.org/http://www.seashepherd.org/seals/On Saturday, March 15th, activists will visit the stores of fashion designers who sell seal fur products. We will let these designers know that they cannot support the massacre of baby seals and still do business on the streets of New York City. At the same time, we will continue our crusade to make it unbearable to wear fur on the sidewalks of New York. We will be moving from location to location, so make sure to dress comfortably and to wear good non-leather walking shoes.When: Saturday, March 15, 2008 @ 2:00 pmWhere: Fendi 677 Fifth Ave (off 53rd St.)If late call: 1-646-267-9934Please note: Fendi is just a meet-up point. We will only remain there for 15 minutes to gather

activists. If you are late, call us at: 1-646-267-9934 and we will tell you where we are. You don't need posters, banners or literature...we have all of that (unless of course you have something you want to bring, then by all means bring it along).
