How wonderful that a cause this great is getting international publicity, people all over the world are becoming more aware and saying "NO" to fur.
Fur is EVERYWHERE... I went into Animania in Bryanston shopping centre and noticed that they sell those small little mice cat toys and they are actually made of real fur, you can even see the pelt glued together underneath! I educated the employee and he was completely horrified at the thought of cat fur being used as a toy for another cat to play with. These are the small things you can do to raise awareness, when you go into pet-shops (hopefully you don't support the ones which sell animals) look at the toys and feel them to see if they are real... If they feel real, they probably are! Take their details and contact Fur free SA http://www.furfree.net/contact.html to notify them and they will send a letter informing them of the fur trade. Many stockists are completely unaware of the toys they buy.
So tomorrow Fur Free SA is holding a protest outside Hyde park shopping Centre from 11:00 - 13:00, so bring your children, friends, parents and come help us educate the public about the fur trade.
For more information contact Tricia on tricia@furfree.net - Hope to see you there!!!
Peace and Love
It's true about the toys, Fur Free was involved with Catbox Linden bringing fur into their store by also a mouse toy!
ReplyDeleteWe had a stern word with them and now they have not only apologized but assured us that they will remove it from all stores immmediatly...in all these cases persistance is key!
