Int'l Anti-Fur Coalition protests in US & 10 other count

[Crash]

Join IDA in L.A. on Global Day of Action against

the Chinese Fur Industry

 

International Anti-Fur Coalition plans protests in U.S. and 10 other countries on February 13th

 

Over half of the world's fur today is produced by China, a country with no animal welfare laws where millions of dogs and cats are also killed for fur every year. Undercover video investigations have shown Chinese fur farm workers skinning animals alive without concern for their pain, leaving them to a slow and agonizing death. Though illegal in the U.S., dog and cat fur still winds up on store shelves through a loophole which exempts manufacturers and retailers from having to label fur garments under $150 with information about the species of animal or country of origin.

 

IDA is one of the many organizations around the world fighting to stop this ongoing atrocity, and proudly joins the International Anti-Fur Coalition in the annual global day of action against the Chinese fur industry taking place on Tuesday, February 13th. IDA is coordinating demonstrations at Chinese Consulates and Embassies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C. Other participating groups will hold protests in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Ireland, Israel, Estonia, France, Turkey, Thailand and Belgium.

 

About 120 people attended IDA's exciting demonstration in Los Angeles last year. Please join us this year and stand up for the cats, dogs and other animals suffering on Chinese fur farms.

 

What: Protest against the Chinese fur industry

When: Tuesday, February 13th starting at 11:00 a.m.

Where: Consulate General of the Peoples Republic of China, 443 Shatto Place, Los Angeles

 

Whether or not you are able to make it to the demonstration, please call or fax the Chinese Consulate on February 13th to urge them to stop killing dogs and cats for fur and to pass meaningful animal welfare laws. Please be polite and respectful in your communications with Consulate staff.
