Subject: Fur demo in Hong Kong


Dear Activist,

This is a reminder that on Friday, February 28, PETA and local activists
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 as a cave person,
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 thefuss 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/> and

you or seeing you again!

P.S. If you cannot join us for the demonstration, but would like to join
us for dinner, please let me know. We will tentatively be dining the
Thursday evening, the 27th at Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine
31 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay. Tel: 2890-3127.

I am quite attached to my fur coat thanks.

Unfortunately the Fur Demo has been postponed.
So you can keep your hair on, Hairy Ass!
John.
