Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 - " Kristie Phelps " <KristieP Thursday, 06 February, 2003 04:49 Fur demo in Hong Kong Dear Activist, On Friday, February 28, PETA will protest the 2003 Hong Kong Fur Fair. We'll be dressed as " Cave People " and will hold a banner that reads, " Only Cave People Wear Fur. " Please let me know if you can join us in the protest, or if you're not comfortable participating in the protest, if you can come for support, to take photos, or help in any other way. The event will be at 12 noon sharp on the 28th at Sogo Department Store where Wee Yo St. and Great George Street meet. I hope you can make it. Why the fuss over fur? Hong Kong is the second largest exporter of fur after Greece. Fur is ranched on the mainland, brought into Hong Kong for manufacture, and then exported. Mink is the most common animal killed for fur and the standard method of killing mink is breaking the animals' necks while they're still fully conscious. In addition, the Humane Society of the United States investigated and exposed the international fur industry's ugly secret: the widespread slaughter of companion animals-domestic dogs and cats-for the manufacture of clothing, accessories, and trinkets. For more information, please visit www.FurIsDead.com <http://www.furisdead.com/> . Thank you and I look forward to meeting you or seeing you again!
